Ryan Schultz heads over to Sengoku
Now that the IFL is defunct, its fighters are scrambling to find a new home. Ryan Schultz was among those fighters, but now he will have to scramble no more. Schultz just signed a five fight deal with Sengoku and won’t waste any time settling in as he is set to fight on August 24th as part of Sengoku’s eight man Grand Prix tournament.
Schultz could be guaranteed a sixth fight with Sengoku if he is able to reach the tournament final. Coincidentally, Schultz will enter the fight having won six straight fights of his own. His first match-up will come against Mizuto Hirota.
One of Schultz’s biggest claims to fame is having been the only fighter to ever defeat UFC rising star Roger Huerta. The 31 year old veteran has an overall professional record of 20-9-1 with his last nine fights coming in the IFL. Schultz’s signing leaves the IFL with one less veteran who is currently unemployed. Sherdog has more on Schultz’s defection to Sengoku.
