Welterweight Warrior Gears Up for PFL Showdown: Don Madge Set to Take on Fierce Competition
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Welterweight contender Don Madge is honing his skills in preparation for his upcoming Professional Fighters League (PFL) bout on June 28, 2024, in Sioux Falls. With his eyes set on victory, Madge is eagerly anticipating the launch of PFL Africa, which he believes will revolutionize the landscape for African MMA competitors.
During a virtual interview via Zoom with a select group of journalists in Nigeria, Madge discussed his upcoming challenge against Nieman Gracie, a former Bellator fighter known for his exceptional grappling abilities. “I am expecting a formidable opponent in Nieman. He brings a wealth of experience to the table, and I foresee him attempting to bring the fight to the ground. My training has been specifically tailored to counter that approach,” Madge remarked.
While diligently preparing for his forthcoming match, Madge expressed his excitement about the imminent introduction of PFL Africa. “This presents a remarkable opportunity for African fighters,” he exclaimed. “Gaining international recognition in the realm of MMA has always been a formidable task, particularly for athletes hailing from Africa. PFL’s initiative to provide fighters with a platform to showcase their talents is truly remarkable. African MMA is finally receiving the acknowledgment it deserves, and I am grateful to PFL for taking the lead in fostering the sport on the continent.”

In addition to his pursuits in the fighting arena, Madge is a co-owner of Mad Fit Gym in Cape Town, South Africa. The facility offers comprehensive training in a variety of disciplines, including boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA. “I take great pride in the gym’s achievements in nurturing aspiring fighters and helping them realize their full potential,” Madge shared.
Despite his focus on the upcoming fight, Madge maintains a grounded perspective. “Fighting does not consume my entire existence,” he reflected. “It is a journey that I find fulfillment in, and it enables me to provide support for my family and community. That is what truly holds significance.”Offering a piece of advice to budding MMA athletes, he encouraged, “While there are inherent risks involved, if you harbor a genuine passion for the sport, pursue it wholeheartedly. With the right mindset and determination, you can surmount any obstacle.”
Don Madge is poised to deliver a captivating performance on June 28, 2024, and eagerly anticipates the elevation of African MMA competitors onto the global stage owing to the establishment of PFL Africa.
