Fight rescheduled against Kutateladze
Madge (9-3-1) will fight Guram Kutateladze (12-2-0) at a UFC event on July 17, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
Madge and Kutateladze were originally supposed to fight back in March but the latter had to pull out after he needed a procedure done to repair the meniscus in his left knee. Madge was eventually given a new opponent but then had to withdraw himself after his U.S. visa didn't arrive in time. Madge hasn't competed since defeating Fares Ziam via unanimous decision at UFC 242 in September 2019 and will look to put his skills to the test in a few months.

Won't fight due to visa issues
Madge announced in a video message via his Instagram on Saturday that he's been forced to withdraw from his fight against Nasrat Haqparast at UFC Fight Night 187 on March 13 due to visa issues, Farah Hannoun of MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Madge explained that he couldn't schedule a visa appointment due to travel restrictions the U.S. placed on South Africa and had no choice but to withdraw from the bout. The 30-year-old was originally supposed to fight Guram Kutateladze in the event but had to find a new opponent after the Georgian fighter had to withdraw due to an apparent knee injury. It seems highly unlikely the UFC will be able to find Haqparast a new challenger with the event less than a week away as it's possible they will reschedule another bout for Madge later in the year.

Finds new opponent
Madge is scheduled to fight Nasrat Haqparast at the UFC event March 13, per Marcel Dorff of MMADNA.
ANALYSIS
Madge was originally scheduled to fight Guram Kutateladze in the event, but with the latter dropping out due to a knee issue, Madge needed a new opponent. The 'Magic Man' is 9-3-1 in his professional career, and he'll be stepping into the Octagon for the first time since Sept. 2019. Madge will face a tough task against Haqparast, as he's gone 4-2-0 in his last six fights.

Needs new opponent for March 13
Madge (9-3-1) is no longer scheduled to face Guram Kutateladze (12-2-0) in a lightweight fight at the UFC's March 13 event after Kutateladze announced Monday via his personal Instagram account that he has withdrawn from the bout following a procedure to repair the meniscus in his left knee.
ANALYSIS
The UFC has yet to announce a replacement for Kutateladze, so Madge could be bumped off the card entirely if the promotion is unable to find a new opponent over the next five weeks. Madge had been scheduled to return to the Octagon for the first time since September 2019, when he improved his UFC record to 2-0 with a unanimous-decision win over Fares Ziam at UFC 242.
