This won’t be your typical bout—it’s a Lightning Match, and the rules are simple:

10-minute time limit. No second chances. All action.

These short, high-stakes fights offer the victor instant momentum—and consideration for a future title shot. But this time, there’s even more on the line.

Satoshi Kojima, the iconic Japanese powerhouse and current Opera Cup quarterfinalist, steps into action ahead of the next round of the prestigious tournament. A legend of New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan, and beyond, Kojima continues to bring unmatched experience, fierce lariats, and veteran toughness to the MLW ring. But taking a warm-up match before the next round of the Opera Cup may prove to be a dangerous move.

Why?

Because Mr. Thomas is waiting.

The bruising powerhouse and official alternate for this year’s Opera Cup has made his intentions crystal clear: he’s not stepping into the ring to compete—he’s stepping in to injure. Thomas has gone on record saying he plans to maul Kojima and put him on the injured list, which would automatically trigger his entry into the Opera Cup tournament, replacing Kojima.

With tournament stakes hanging in the balance and just 10 minutes on the clock, both men are entering this Lightning Match with high risk and potential reward.

Will Kojima tune up for the next round—or will Mr. Thomas bulldoze his way into the Opera Cup bracket?

Don’t blink. It’s going to be fast, physical, and unforgiving.

On Saturday, September 13 witness MLW FIGHTLAND. 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.
