Mark Madsen vs. Vinc Pichel pushed from UFC 271 to UFC 273

Mark Madsen and Vinc Pichel will need to wait a little longer to fight one another than originally anticipated.

The two lightweight fighters were originally scheduled to fight at UFC 271, which takes place Feb. 12 in Houston. However, as MMA Junkie has learned, the fight will now take place April 9 at UFC 273, which does not yet have an officially-announced location.

Two people with knowledge of the change recently informed MMA Junkie of the switch but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. It was not specified why the matchup shifted.
