It looks like we’ve got the first confirmed match for the upcoming MLW: Never Say Never live event.

Earlier this month at MLW: One-Shot, “Filthy” Tom Lawlor defeated Olympian Jeff Cobb in a very physical and hard fought contest. Afterwards, Lawlor called out another popular grappler with UFC experience: Matt Riddle.

MLW confirmed that the “King of Bros” was in talks about signing the match for Never Say Never. On Thursday, they released a video of Riddle formally accepting Lawlor’s challenge.

The news of this money match comes just days after the Orlando Sentinel reported that MLW is seriously considering running monthly shows in Florida.

MLW: Never Say Never is scheduled for December 7th from Orlando, FL at Gilt Nightclub. Tickets for the big event go on sale Friday morning at 10am Eastern at MLW.Eventbrite.com.

Last time we sold out all seats. The only way in was SRO tix. Grab your @MLW 12/7 tickets EARLY. https://t.co/yNTYifZODl Tomorrow 10am ET
