Arguably the toughest and most dangerous athletes in MLW will collide in what promises to be a gripping grappling showdown between two top ranked heavyweight wrestlers.
"On November 9 in Orlando this rivalry commences in what is one of the biggest matches we can put together this year in MLW," said MLW CEO/Founder Court Bauer.
Lawlor, an accomplished amateur wrestler, striker and submission artist will be tested by Smith's size and expertise as a renowned shooter and disciple of catch-wrestling.
Lawlor's versatility as a brawler and MMA fighter brings a unique dimension to the big bout however Smith's power is seemingly unlimited as is his stamina and uncanny agility for his 6'5" frame.
The braun of the Hart Foundation looks to continue his ascension in the heavyweight division. A win over Lawlor would accelerate his march towards a title shot. For Lawlor, a win over Smith would put the former World Champion one step closer to a third encounter against the undefeated World Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu.
The brutal art of pro wrestling will be on display as two of MLW's top ranked wrestlers clash. See it live in Orlando on November 9.
Ticket prices range from $20-$50 with a limited number of Platinum Packages also available.
