If anything, the results of these first two years post-wrestling have only strengthened his resolve and confirmed the effectiveness of his approach, which looks like it will lead to Madsen and his family doubling down on their all-in commitment to MMA and “The Olympian” continuing his quest to be the absolute best fighter he can be when it’s all said and done. “I know that at this point of my career, I have to give everything that I’ve got. “I’ve competed in the Olympics, but that was in Beijing, in London, in Rio, but being able to compete in front of a crowd like that, in mixed martial arts, in the biggest promotion in the world — I still get goosebumps when I think back.”. “I know that at this point of my career, I have to give everything that I’ve got. He's unfazed by that and it showed in his debut last year. It’s all-in, man.”. Thinking back on the roar from the crowd, it was an amazing experience and I’ll never forget that. He's unfazed by that and it showed in his debut last year. “Saturday, I will be the least experienced fighter on the card when it comes to time in MMA,” he added. The fact that Mark O. Madsen calls his UFC debut last September in Copenhagen “the pinnacle of his athletic career” tells you everything you need to know about how invested the 35-year-old three-time Olympian and 2016 silver medalist is in his transition to mixed martial arts and competing inside the UFC cage. As well as a sport career, Mark balances time as a business student, father, and coach for his Greco-Roman club of 'Brydeklubben Thor' and the Danish Wrestling association. “I’m really fortunate that I have the background I have in wrestling and I’ve been fortunate to work with the best experts in Denmark in many areas, like Olympic-level therapists, physiologists, psychologists, so I have a lot of experience with how to structure, how to plan, how to be professional. He lived in a camper away from his family in order to be closer to the best available training in his native Denmark and established his own fight promotion in order to compete on a larger platform and hopefully expedite his rise through the ranks. “But if we get into the positions that I know, I can guarantee that it will be a long day at the office for my opponent.”. “I’m catching up, but I still have a lot to learn. A new Fight of the Night Power Rankings has dropped. “When I talk about ‘Olympic Commitment,’ it’s the ability in athletes to say no to all the fun stuff because they know they have to put in the work every single day to bring them one step closer to their goal of becoming the best version of themselves and winning.”.

His wife did the same and they went all-in on this new pursuit, ready and willing to do whatever was needed in order to achieve the next goal.
