This fight began with an extended grappling exchange. Schultz forced the wrestling and then jumped on the neck, putting McVey on the defensive with a guillotine. McVey scrambled well, however, and he regained his footing when Schultz tried to transition to a d’arce choke.

Back on the feet, McVey was clearly the sharper striker. Schultz looked tired from his submission attempt, allowing McVey to connect often. “The Moose” didn’t force anything, merely touching his opponent consistently and waiting for a big connection. When Schultz tried to initiate another grappling exchange, he stepped directly into a crushing knee to the body.
