SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Undefeated UFC lightweight Mark Madsen is making some big life changes.
Although he keeps his “white belt mentality,” Madsen (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is making some black-belt-level moves. A native of Denmark, the country he medaled for in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, Madsen is packing his bags and moving to Arizona with his family.
“The whole last year I was busy with a lot of things,” Madsen told MMA Junkie on Friday. “My wife got diagnosed with MS disease (multiple sclerosis), we had a house that had to be rebuilt, and I’ve been putting everything I could into just getting ready, getting settled. Actually also preparing for a big thing for my family and I, which is we’re actually moving out here to Arizona.
