New Champion Crowned At MLW Kings Of Colosseum

Jacob Fatu is your new MLW Heavyweight champion.

The Contra Unit member defeated "Filthy" Tom Lawlor at tonight's Kings of Colosseum event at Cicero Stadium in Chicago after 12-minutes, connecting with a top rope moonsault for the pinfall victory. This ended Lawlor's five-month reign as champion after beating Low Ki back at February's Superfight.

Lawlor threw everything he could at Fatu, including locking in his signature rear-naked choke that won him the title. That wasn't enough to keep the Samoan Destroyer down.
