Mark Madsen is one of the most popular and richest Amateur Wrestler who was born on September 23, 1984 in Nykøbing Falster, Nykøbing Falster, Denmark. Mark Overgaard Madsen (born 23 September 1984) is a Danish mixed martial artist and retired Greco-Roman wrestler who competed in the featherweight division. He is an Olympic silver medalist and four-time medalist (three silver and one bronze) at the World Wrestling Championships. After his wrestling career, Madsen became a mixed martial artist and is currently signed to the UFC.
Few months after the games, Madsen has signed a contract with European MMA, with sights on having his first fight inside the MMA cage by February 2013.
After the bout with Bordin, Madsen has been training at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. Madsen headlined Cage Warriors Academy Denmark 2 against Mathew Bonner on December 15, 2018 and won the bout via unanimous decision.
After amassing four straight professional victories in the regional circuit, Madsen signed with Cage Warriors. Madsen made his promotional debut against Alexandre Bordin at Cage Warriors Academy’s inaugural event on September 23, 2018. The fight was largely contested on the ground, leading Madsen to a unanimous decision victory by dominant grappling.
Madsen competed in two professional bouts in 2013 and 2014 but because he was receiving salary from the Danish Wrestling Federation for his commitment, Madsen was subsequently essentially forbidden to compete in mixed martial arts. Due to his retirement from wrestling, he was allowed to start training and competing in mixed martial arts.
