Made 6 US World and Olympic teams in a row. Undefeated in the US for 4 years. 1984 Olympic Champion. 1985 & 1987 World Champion. 1981, 1982, 1983 NCAA Champion. My junior year I got to the finals against Ed Banach in a match which was significant in many ways. 1) I was the defending NCAA Champion from 1981 at 167 lbs. I moved up a weight to 177 lbs in an attempt to stop the defending 2-time NCAA Champion at 177 lbs Ed Banach from becoming the 1st 4-time NCAA Champion in history. 2) The NCAA ranks this as the most entertaining match in history. 3)The 1982 177 lb weight class was ranked the toughest weight class in the last 50 years. 4) First time in 52 years anyone won 3 NCAA’s and the Olympics, and in 1984 Ed Banach and myself both did it. 5) In the book “The Golden Era of Amateur Wrestling: 1980’s” by Reginald Rowe I was voted by my peers as the “College Wrestler of the Decade” and Banach finished a close 2nd. 6) I won the match against Banach 16-8 and was named NCAA “Outstanding Wrestler”. In 1983 I set the Oklahoma U. record for most wins in a single season without a loss (27-0), and was voted 1983 Oklahoma U. Male Student-Athlete of the Year. 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 US Open Champion. Winner of The Ultimate Fighting Championships IX under NHB rules (no-holds-barred). Authored an autobiography called “Foxcatcher” that became a New York Times best seller and an Amazon's "Editors Pick".

A 2022 Emmy nominated documentary "Wrestling Demons, Mark Schultz's Ultimate Victory" was produced by UFC President Dana White. “Wrestling Demons” is accurately based on my autobiography and co-stars my wrestler Chael Sonnen, my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor Pedro Sauer, my training partner Dave Beneteau who was originally picked to compete in UFC IX but broke his hand training with me so I took his place. My formidable opponent in UFC IX was Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge, who is now one of my friends.
