Veteran lightweight Clay Guida will look to hand Olympic silver medalist Mark O. Madsen the first loss of his career when they clash at an upcoming UFC event on Aug. 21.
Multiple sources confirmed to MMA Fighting that verbal agreements are in place for the matchup, although bout agreements have not been signed just yet. The bout was first confirmed by Danish outlet ViaRitzau on Wednesday.
Undefeated thus far in his mixed martial arts career, Madsen currently holds a 2-0 resume in the UFC after picking up wins over Danilo Belluardo and Austin Hubbard. His last win over Hubbard in March 2020 came at the cost of a broken jaw, which obviously kept him sidelined for several months after the event.
Billy Pasulatan (5-2) vs. Brando Mamana (9-3)
A light schedule this week from the larger regional promotions gives us a chance to look at some international promotions that don’t often grace this preview series. The first stop this week is Indonesia, where One Pride MMA is set to host its 41st “Fight Night” show. The key contest of the night is a strawweight title affair between champion Billy Pasulatan and challenger Brando Mamana. These two men fought once before, in 2019, with Mamana tapping Pasulatan in the first round.
Sulut MMA’s Pasulatan is seven fights into his pro career. The taekwondo practitioner lost his 2017 debut to Zaenudin, but he rebounded with four straight wins, including two via kimura submission. The One Pride mainstay then suffered the loss to Mamana, which came by way of a rear-naked choke. Despite this stumble, Pasulatan returned to action a year later as the challenger against Gunawan and ended up claiming the strap with an 86-second submission fin

Italy is as sports-crazed as any country on earth, but so far, mixed martial arts has not caught on inside its famous, boot-shaped border. The Golden Cage, an upstart MMA promotion based in Rome, is hoping to change that.
TGC is the brainchild of President Luigi Perillo, a tax lawyer and the president of the Swiss MMA Federation, and Steve Dapper, a music industry executive and expert in linguistics. After two successful events in 2017 and 2018, the TGC team will promote its third this Saturday in Rome. The card, which will feature 10 pro bouts and 10 amateur bouts, will mark the promotion’s debut on UFC FIGHT PASS.
