Brutus Creed vs. Tom Lawlor set for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XI
Brutus Creed has his Bloodsport opponent.
Josh Barnett confirmed on Friday that the WWE star will take on none other than our own Tom Lawlor on July 28 in Brooklyn. In his post announcing the match, Barnett pushed Lawlorโs UFC background against Creedโs collegiate wrestling.
Brutus Creed is like a juggernaut that as he gathers speed becomes even more impossible to stop. A fierce collegiate wrestler who likes to hit people with the earth instead of his fists.
Tom Lawlor is a UFC veteran, an MMA fighter with 20 fights to his record, was the longest reigning NJPW Strong Champion. and a collegiate wrestler himself.
On paper, Creed should be over his head, but come July 28th, theory will meet reality and only one can have his hand raised.
