Xavier Foupa-Pokam (Born 07/03/1982) is a French Mixed-Martial Artist from Paris, France.
An expert in Muay Thai, the majority of Foupa-Pokams victories have come via Knockout, however he has shown considerable improvement in his ground skills in his previous fights. A significant part of his career has been spent in British MMA promotion Cage Rage. He rebounded from losses to Paul Daley and Sol Gilbert by going on a five fight winning streak, including impressive victories over Cage Rage veterans Alex Reid and Tom Watson , along with a brutal knockout of Pierre Guillet. This streak however, was broken when he faced Murilo "Ninja" Rua at Cage Rage 24: Feel the pain, Ninja pulling off a win via a second round rear naked choke.
In 2007, he had an appearance in Episode 4 of History Channel documentation-series Human Weapon. In this episode, Bill Duff and Jason Chambers trained Savate in Marseille and Paris and in one particular scene, Xavier Foupa-Pokam is an instructor and translator.
