12 Sensational UFC Bouts In March That You Must Watch
10. Mark O Madsen Vs. Austin Hubbard - UFC 248
Although he might not seem like a prospect - at 33-years old, that title seems a bit strange - but Danish wrestler, Mark O Madsen is still relatively green in his MMA career. His eight fights on the Danish fight circuit were against fighters who were overmatched from the start, while his first UFC opponent, Danilo Belluardo, barely lasted over a minute against him.
It's quite clear that the former Olympian needs a step-up in competition and he has that against Austin Hubbard. He's much more well-rounded than the other opponents Madsen has fought and has a decent fight IQ. However, it's hard not to see this as the UFC trying to bring Madsen along and build him into their next European superstar.
He's certainly got the talent to be that guy for the UFC and we predict that his impressive skill-set will be on the show when he competes at UFC 248. Hubbard will give him a decent challenge, but he's more of a litmus test than an actual challenge for the Dane.
