Mark Schultz Biography

Mark Schultz and his brother Dave were one of the only pairs to wrestle together in large scale events until his untimely death on January 26, 1996 when he was murdered by multimillionaire and philanthropist John Eleuthere du Pont. As one could image this event had a huge impact on the wrestler, however he used that obstacle to get a win just a few months later at an event in UFC 9. The Olympic gold medalist is also a World Championships winner of the 1985 Budapest and 1987 Clearmont-Ferrand Games, and he was also able to take home the gold in the 1982 Toledo World Cup and 1987 Indianapolis Pan American Games. Following his brother’s death, Schultz wrote a book about what happened with his murder and it was quickly picked up to be turned into the movie “Firecatcher” in 2014 starring Steve Carell and Channing Tatum.
