That body knee from Jackson McVey makes Wes Schultz's next appearance hard to ignore. He was stopped in round 1, yet his previous fight brought a guillotine from bottom guard against Ben Johnston in round 3. That's a wild contrast for Mantas Kondratavicius to think about: Schultz has recently been caught early, but being underneath hasn't stopped him from finding something nasty. Kondratavicius comes in after a unanimous decision win over Antonio Trocoli, so his latest result is about getting the job done over the distance.
- Schultz returns after McVey's body knee cut his night short
- A guillotine from bottom guard makes the neck battle spicy
- Kondratavicius brings a decision win into a tricky reach matchup
The opening round is the likeliest flashpoint, because Schultz's recent early stoppage losses make the first sustained exchanges especially tense.
Schultz's recent run is messier, with Damian Pinas also stopping him with punches in round 1 before that Johnston win. Here's the thing: those results make his opening minutes a real talking point without making every later exchange safe for the other guy. Both men fight orthodox, and Schultz has the longer reach despite Kondratavicius being taller. Schultz needs to make that range count, while Kondratavicius has to decide when to stay outside and when to bring his wrestling into play.
A shot with the head left exposed gets especially interesting here, because Schultz's win from bottom guard gives the neck battle a very concrete reason to matter. Neither man is ranked, so the stakes are simple: put together a performance that gets people paying attention. Can Schultz settle into the fight, and can Kondratavicius apply pressure without getting careless?
