I hope Mark knows how many fans he still has around the world, this was the best documentary i've seen from this channel.
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
He’s going to be doing a seminar in August at UFCFIT in Puyallup
Best combat related documentary I’ve seen.
I actually talk to the guy from time to time. I'll be sure and let him know he's still loved. Also, he's trying to think up a clever name for his podcast. So if you think of anything, let me know and I'll pass it on.

'John DuPont took my happiness away from me' - Mark equating his own happiness with his brother's life is such a raw, moving sentiment.
He took more than his brother. He also exploited his skills and made him move away from wrestling.
@@stanparker9556 I think his brother ranks a bit higher than his wrestling career in that particular statement.
@@AttainTheGrain of course. I was just furthering the totality of what Dupont took from him that was all rooted in his identity and happiness. Definitely wasn't trying to correct anybody by saying the other stuff hurt more.
I can't imagine the rage towards duPont. I lost my brother to drug overdose and I am still surprised how incredibly sad I still am over the loss. Losing your brother hurts. To know that some narcissistic jerkface that also took his joy and passion of sport away intentionally killed his brother. That's so incredibly unfair.
Rickson Gracie said Mark was probably the best natural grappler he’d ever rolled with.
....and to think that Mark had zero submission experience at that point and it still took the greatest bjj fighter of the time 30 mins to tap him! Just imagine if they rematched after a year of Mark doing bjj!!
Wow
Think about if he took on dave
No such thing as a natural grappler
@cherokeeoutlaw2.011 yes there is.
I hope this wins an Emmy. Mark Schultz is wrestling royalty
Lol
And mma too
Hey it did
@@SunTzuMediawhat medal have you won at the Olympics
@@SunTzuMediawhy laugh? Cruelty or ignorance?
Mark is an incredible man and his journey through life has been a challenging one. Mark finally got his story told the way he and his brother Dave deserved. This will win the Emmy for sure.
He could of been an UFC Hall of Famer if he'd stuck at MMA. With his skillset and his application and drive?
No doubt about it whatsoever.
I went to OU with Dave and Mark. We were lab partners in Anatomy lab along with Dave’s wife. So glad to see this story of Mark and hear he’s found happiness after the loss of Dave. I remember watching their Olympic gold matches in 84 the summer after we had class together. I wish Mark every happiness!!
So many lessons and gems in this short 30 minute documentary is actually insane. All respect to the Schultz family name.
I was an extra in the Foxcatcher movie with Steve Carrel . Such an honor to be a little part of the Shultz legacy
This is the best Fightlore yet!!!!!!
I watched this about 4 hours ago but had to come back to comment because I am still thinking about it. This is such a deeply powerful and emotional story! It is this kind of drama and backstory that fuels a large part of why I love MMA as a sport. Thank you to the UFC for funding these projects and thank you to Mark Schultz for sharing his experience. It is appreciated.
Come on, are you a softy or what? This guy is talking about sports and there are people out there who deal with stress far worse than this documentary on an everyday basis. My life has been stressful since I was born and even when I was inside my mother's womb.
The problem with you Gen Ziers is you have nothing tough to talk about and live off what others have gone through and act like your life has been tough. I have a cousin who went to state championship and I only did wrestling at a trouble maker school back in the late 80s and early 90s and I would beat him every time and it was because I was a natural and I got into a lot of fights growing up.
Pick your heroes correctly!
You need a gold star or what fella? I reckon we will take his gold medals and UFC victory and HOF inductions as proof over your nonsensical YT claims, at 62 I'm pretty sure he would still flatten you@@gbody2617
@@gbody2617What are you on about? Lol I coulda been a really good wrestler 😂
@@JesseStevenTrumm3992 - Who was talking to you weirdo?
quit yapping bruh@@gbody2617
Learning how to fight is what life is about in many aspects, from success to loss, from sadness to happiness, from fear to courage.
Man.. 😎 that hit me Victor .. I needed to hear it.. for a long time. I fooled myself that meekness was so awesome.. morally right .. between this documentary.. Jordan Peterson explaining that .. the meek shall inherit the earth was... a person who can effectively wield a sword and responds to the world wisely and uses the sword wisely.. that hit me too.. so. Thank you for your insight and the ability to put it into words. Which I also hear is .. super powerful
i went to his wrestling camp in 1999-2000 and it was a lifetime memory ...in quincy ca what an awesome time you did a front flip for us ,and three a day workouts were so hard. What a great story and to see you in this story made me cry and celebrate! your an inspiration and a champion!!
Very cool!
Mark will forever be a legend. High school wrestlers today, love this dude!
Mark is such a gentle giant. Prayers and love from India. That man deserves to have dominated the wrestling world for much longer than he should've.
I went to a wrestling camp at Cal State Fullerton by Dan Lewis in 1995 and Mark came and taught technique. He was awesome.
This Schultz are just truly amazing .. just amazing they are wrestling 🤼♂️ R.I.P
This is my favorite show to watch on fight pass
Mark and Dave were true warrior spirits and the world of comabt sports owes them a debt. RIP Dave Schultz
the ultimate comeback! just watched Foxcatcher and that brought me here. Best to Mark! He deserves happiness.
Good movie👍
Foxcatcher is a good watch.
Mark was, and is, a LEGEND. I always wondered why he never fought again. He was a last second replacement. Grateful to finally know the story behind this fight.
I was a student at BYU and was one of the spotting coaches in the athletes gym while Mark was the wrestling coach there. Mark was incredibly strong and was legendary in the athletic department. No one could dream of defeating him on the mat at any weight. When he fought in that UFC fight, I saw it on pay-per-view and it made so many of us so proud that he was our BYU wrestling coach. UFC was controversial at the time, and that made it all the more glorious.
What a beautiful motivational message he sends in words and deeds.
Poor Mark. Seeing him cry is heartbreaking.
What a documentary. We love you Mark ❤
When Gary Goodridge smiled talking about the Paul Herrera fight, you could see years lift off him
Crazy right I noticed too definitely a highlight in his life a core memory
This was amazing 🥹🥹🥹🫡
Thank you mark.
Thank you UFC.
So heartbreaking to hear him at Dave’s funeral. For such a studly and physically scary and talented beast of a wrestler he’s innocent as hell. And what a great wrestler he was.
I watched this immediately after watching the Flowrestling pieces on Mark. UFC, you guys did an amazing job filling in a few more bits of the puzzle for the human of Mark Schultz in a very respectful manner. You let him tell his story, and you let him guide things. Amazing, sad, wonderful, and very tastefully, beautifully done. Thank you for being patient, gentle and respectful.
I love UFCs Fightlore videos.... they need way more like this not less than 10 minutes.
Mark Shultz is a living legend. Extremely well done!
Garys brutal honesty about how he would have "soiled himself" had he known Marks background was unexpectedly funny
I remember when Dave was shot...all over the news on national television....also remember Mark Schultz fighting in the early ufc And very good...he just didn't stay for but one fight...but he did get in at quite and older age and not knowing all the circumstancesand story behind it all...but definitely made his name.
ufc 9 ufc youtube has a fight
Wow... What an amazing video... Much respect to my man Mark Schultz!
I read autobiographies and watch documentaries because for me personally, fiction cannot compare to real life. What an incredible story, and makes me want to hug my brother and appreciate the day just a little bit more. Damn good piece here.
These wrestlers are a different breed of human, real tough humble men
I went to a wrestling camp at BYU and had the pleasure of meeting this man. I can remember being starstruck, but trying not to be.
Mark Schultz is a baaaaaaad man... one of the greatest warriors of all time- internally as well as on the surface. A one of a kind American original-
John du Pont got his in the end. He died painfully from COPD, completely alone, in a prison. While Mark and Dave will always be remembered as gold medal Olympians with character.
Both sad and inspiring story and what a man Mark is!
May his brother Dave rest in peace!
Great doc, deserve more attention for sure 🙌🏾
Schultz brothers are legends. RIP Dave. You both are the reason I got into wrestling.
Mark Schultz was my wrestling hero when I was a HS kid. The year Mark beat Banach at NCAAs I was All State, and at the same weight class (190 pounds).
Damn awesome and tragic story at the same time , wrestled in high school , watching this makes me miss every minute of it 💪🏾
Do more of these, this was incredible
This is dope. The animations are top! keep em coming
30:25 i knew i thought he was thinking that! When I saw that fight before i was wondering if thats what he was thinkin when he just looked at Gary and just nodded.
God bless you Mark!
Great documentary 👏...ufc keep up the great work ..
Joe is famous for complaining about Hollywood based on the Foxcatcher movie and his problem was that the movie hired a white guy to play Mark's opponent. But what's more outrageous was how the movie portrayed Mark. There was a scene in the movie that almost insinuated that Mark was doing something sexual which DuPont (Mark had his haired dyed and DuPont was grappling with him). I remember Mark came out after the movie premiered and he was so angry.
Beautiful documentary, so well made.
after seeing Foxcatcher the movie and also watching some other stuff on it, this was perfect with more detail. the brothers were amazing.
Really enjoyed this!
Your brother is so proud of you mate 👍🏻🥰
Great doco, great story 🙏
This was a great story and thank you for sharing your experiences.
Even Marks hairline wont backdown.
Wow I knew of the story, but not these parts. Amazing video!
I remember seeing this live on PPV (I'm 53) back in the 90s. I had been training at Gracie in Torrance at the time, and I was surprised and excited to hear that Mark Schultz was going to be fighting in the UFC. That was unheard of back then to have this Olympic Gold Medalist crossover into bare knuckle fighting. Mark did not disappoint. To me that was the highlight.
ON a separate note: I know he had fought again years later in Brazil in a Jungle Fight promotion, and on Sherdog and the other MMA websites had Mark Schultz as 1 win, 1 loss, because he had lost to a Brazilian fighter by submission. But now that loss he suffered after the UFC appears to have been erased. I wonder why?
I found out why: Per Mark Schultz: Mark Schultz-My MMA record is 1-0-0. Sherdog has me losing in the fake pro wrestling Jungle Fight like it was a real competition. Sherdog needs to correct this. By the way Antonio Inoki was the promoter and as far as I know he's the only promoter I've ever heard of that mixed fake matches with real ones. Some of the matches in the Jungle Fight were real. And I would never have agreed to do it had I known ahead of time, I would have never participated. There's a big article on Sherdog that explains it. At least Sherdog let a writer publish an article from my side explaining what happened so I won't go into it here but I was promised by Inoki if I did it he'd make me a pro wrestling star in Japan. After it was over he never brought me back to Japan.

Very nice work...ufc team, quality documentary!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another top tier production. Bravo.
Glad you enjoyed it!
By far the best fight lore documentary so far. Thank you for this, surprisingly i didn't know all about this even being a wrestler. Incredible
Glad you enjoyed it!
A truly remarkable story with a bittersweet ending. But it doesn’t just revolve around a win. It includes the mental and spiritual victory needed for Mark. Rip Dave.
Wow. Crazy story. Thanks for sharing and may God Bless the Schultz Family.
I love how Mark talks about his experience with Rickson and Jiu-Jitsu.
For all of you non wrestlers out there I don’t think you can underestimate how amazing it is to start wrestling at 16, win a California state championship within a year and was winning NCAA championships within a few years after that. Impressive, no matter what, but for a non-heavy weight to do it, crazy.
I think it’s really interesting that he had a gymnastics background. I feel like it helps develop overall athleticism and body control. I’ve been doing some acrobatics, and I feel like it’s easier to learn grappling.
@@rico14gymnastics is what every child should take. It develops fast twitch muscle and stendon strength early on. A lot of pro athletes started in gymnastics and found their sport later on. It absolutely helps.
@@sgt.lincolnosiris4111you’re not wrong
Glad I came across this. Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it!
Banach brothers were absolute legends as well. Mark beat Ed banach in a crazy ncaa final match which actually prevented him from being a 4 times champ. The level these guys were on was purely top tier
Absolutely amazing.
John Du Pont is an interesting guy, Hard for me to personally get through this video, you rock Mark Schultz's! And thank you South District Productions if I recall the name right! You're editing style is ingenious!!!!
Awesome and moving!
Great documentary
Amazing story! Thank you ufc fight pass and thank you mr. mark schultz were all rootin for ya still to this day brother!
Why is the UFC better than other promotion? Stories, production, and the best fighters in the world. The stories are what captivate people and make them invest.
Great Documentary! When the UFC started it was Bareknuckle MMA I forgot about that.
Beautiful documentary
Amazing stuff..
Beautiful! Thank you!
This is amazing thank you
Wonderful documentary. I watched most of his home bouts at OU. He and Dave were always amazing to watch. Untelevised audiences of a few hundred fans.
What a missed opportunity to have that included in the foxcatcher movie.
Exactly. I can’t believe this isn’t the last 4th or 3rd of the story, even in the documentaries. What a bookend to an otherwise tragic episode. All of the twists and turns are great uplifting drama.
This is the best content I've seen in a long time
Marvelously made!
This was tremendous!!! What a wild situation and remarkable story that was told very well!!!
An example to us all
Brilliant documentary. Bravo Champ.
I was in grade 8 when I began watching UFC, right from UFC 1.
I recall watching Mark vs Gary
Goliath vs. Goliath in that match
Whoever created this short film, Well Done!
Mark needs to get on JRE!!!
What a great man, I wish him the best in his life.This was a very touching documentary
Great story! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was amazing, whole time watching I felt a knot in my throat . What a story
I've seen t hat fight a hundred times over the years and never knew marks back story ... touched my heart ! His great guy and great human and deserves his happiness! The universe is constantly trying to balance its self so that sometimes bad things happen to good people and then the universe rights itself again ! I'm happy for him
An instructor of mine was around mark Schultz back in the day and then recently met back up with him. Said he had insane power and a remarkable grappler but apparently his brother was even better
What a story, even though I knew it before hand that was pretty great to get it from the source. Mark Shultz was one of the best as was the late great Dave Schultz. Both American wrestling heroes.
never heard about this guy before, but i will sure remember him now
Always have thus story close to my heart
This is such an amazing story.
What athletes the Schultz's were and are is just amazing!!! RESPECT
Dave looks a lot like Luke Rockhold
Love it. He lost and you won Mark. F - - - that slimy little snake DuPont.
RIP Dave Schultz, the good really do die young.
I am so above and beyond moved and inspired…
