Wes Schultz
Career overview
Wes “Party Time” Schultz is a 9-4-0, currently unranked American middleweight who fights from an orthodox stance. Standing 6-foot with a 77-inch reach, Schultz profiles as an aggressive submission-oriented grappler rather than a pure volume striker.
He averages 2.39 takedowns per 15 minutes and an imposing 3.6 submission attempts over the same span, although his 21% takedown accuracy suggests he often needs multiple entries to establish his ground game. On the feet, Schultz lands 2.91 significant strikes per minute at 46% accuracy while absorbing 3.11 per minute, reflecting a willingness to exchange but also some defensive exposure.
His listed 0% takedown defense is another clear vulnerability when opponents initiate the grappling. Schultz demonstrated his strongest path to victory by submitting Mario Mingaj in the first round in October 2025, then overcoming Ben Johnston with another submission in the third round in May 2026.
Those wins were offset by damaging recent setbacks: Damian Pinas stopped him by first-round KO/TKO in February 2026, and Jackson McVey produced another first-round KO/TKO loss in August 2026. The contrast is sharp—Schultz can threaten finishes throughout a grappling exchange, but his striking defense and durability remain central concerns.
With no next opponent listed, Schultz remains an unranked middleweight seeking consistency.
