Natan Schulte moved one step closer to the Professional Fighters League lightweight playoffs with a decision victory over UFC veteran Chris Wade at PFL 2 on June 21, and enjoyed being the guy no one knows on the roster. Now, he faces Brian Foster in the main event of PFL 5 in Uniondale, N.Y., on Aug. 2.
Schulte, who won three points in the PFL system with a decision victory in Chicago, entered the season 15 months after a submission defeat in his first and only bout under the WSOF. A former champion in Brazil, Schulte’s rise in sports is actually thanks to school bullies.
