A colossal title fight will take center stage at Cicero Stadium on November 9 as Satoshi Kojima puts his MLW World Heavyweight Championship on the line against the dangerous grappler and kickboxer Bobby Fish. This title fight will be filmed for exclusive broadcast on beIN SPORTS and air at a later date.
Bobby Fish, one of the self-proclaimed four kings of the Rogue Horsemen, has been making waves alongside his faction. The Rogue Horsemen have built a reputation not just for turning heads—but for wrapping steel chairs around them—ever since their unholy alliance formed earlier this summer. With Fish now looking to wrest the World Title from Kojima, the wrestling world is abuzz with questions: Will Satoshi Kojima be in peril? Will the Rogue Horsemen interfere, creating a dangerous numbers game to tilt the odds in Fish’s favor?
Kojima is no stranger to Horsemen in MLW’s storied history. In 2003, the legendary Extreme Horsemen, which included CW Anderson, engineered a scheme to that ultimately landed them the World Championship, making way for their domination of the league. Now, in 2024, history threatens to repeat itself with the emergence of the Rogue Horsemen—a new dawn for MLW and a looming threat to Kojima’s reign.
Fish, a tested and decorated grappler with extensive experience across Japan, is known for his dangerous kickboxing ability and unscrupulous fighting style. His time in Japan forged a fighter capable of battling the very best—and now, with the backing of the Rogue Horsemen, Fish believes he holds the key to dethroning Kojima. But Kojima is nothing if not resilient, and he carries the pride of a champion determined to uphold his legacy, no matter the odds.
Will Bobby Fish add another world title to his collection and bring glory to the Rogue Horsemen? Or will Kojima defy the numbers and retain his gold in the Windy City?
