MLW is bringing the heat to the Lone Star State as The Battle of the BMFs goes down. Two of the most feared men in combat sports will collide when Minoru Suzuki, a legend in combat sports and CONTRA’s crippler, battles former MLW World Heavyweight Champion “Filthy” Tom Lawlor.
This fight will be a marquee match taped for beIN SPORTS, with the bout airing at a later date.
Minoru Suzuki is a name synonymous with dominance and destruction. As the co-founder of PANCRASE, Suzuki helped revolutionize combat sports, forging his reputation by choking out and knocking out a who’s who of fighters. Now, Suzuki is known as the “CONTRA Crippler,” crushing all who stand in the international cabal’s way. A former MLW World Tag Team Champion, Suzuki continues to unleash his signature brand of violence worldwide.
Standing in Suzuki’s path is “Filthy” Tom Lawlor, a man as real as it gets. Lawlor, a former UFC fighter and star of The Ultimate Fighter, is no stranger to the grind of combat sports. As a 1x MLW World Heavyweight Champion, Lawlor has proven himself as one of the toughest fighters in Major League Wrestling. Recently, Lawlor aligned with Matt Riddle to form the Filthy Bros. fight team.
This showdown is not just about pride – it’s personal. Lawlor’s history of violence with CONTRA Unit dates back to 2019, when the shadowy group first stormed MLW and brutally targeted him. Now, with Suzuki waiving the black flag for CONTRA, Lawlor has his chance to settle the score against the group that has haunted him for years.
Who truly is the baddest MFer in combat sports? Find out January 11 as Suzuki and Lawlor bring throw down in Texas.
Tickets start at $10 at MLWDallas.com. Tickets will also be available day of show at the box office unless the event sales out in advance.
