Jonathan Michael Madsen (born February 12, 1980) is an American mixed martial artist currently competing in the Heavyweight division of Titan FC. A professional competitor since 2008, Madsen has also formerly competed for the UFC and was a cast member of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights fighting for Team Rashad.
Born in Orange County, California and raised in Doland, South Dakota, Madsen attended Doland High School where he was a decorated high school and college wrestler. Madsen has won many awards and even had a high school wrestling match with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. Besides wrestling, Madsen was a track and football star. Madsen enrolled in South Dakota State University and won a National Title in wrestling in his freshmen year.
After college he still had the passion to compete and decided to pursue mixed martial arts full-time. Wanting to train with one of the best mixed martial arts gyms, Madsen packed his stuff and moved out of his home in South Dakota to train with The H.I.T. Squad (Hughes Intensive Training) in Granite City, Illinois. Madsen decided to skip competing as an amateur and went straight to professional, with a previous record of 3–0 Madsen was picked to compete on The Ultimate Fighter 10.
Madsen was on the tenth season of the The Ultimate Fighter. In the first episode, Madsen advanced to the quarterfinals after he defeated Team Rampage's second pick Abe Wagner via unanimous decision.
