MLW has confirmed a blockbuster inter-promotional showdown as Satoshi Kojima will defend the MLW World Heavyweight Championship against CMLL legend Ultimo Guerrero at MLW Slaughterhouse on October 4.
The match was set in motion after Guerrero called out Kojima on Sunday night on social media. Guerrero demanded a shot at Kojima’s title, prompting MLW, CMLL, and Cesar Duran to negotiate the highly anticipated championship clash.
Kojima, who is still recovering from a minor injury inflicted by CONTRA’s Mads Krule Krugger at FIGHTLAND, is fueled by pride and honor as he seeks to fight the best from around the world. Despite concerns from league officials about his condition, Kojima pushed for the match, signing a waiver that releases MLW from any liability.
Ultimo Guerrero, a perennial main eventer and one of the most decorated luchadores in CMLL history. Widely regarded as one of the greatest luchadores of all time and a cornerstone of CMLL (Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre). A multi-time CMLL World Heavyweight Champion, Guerrero has captured nearly every major title in the promotion, including the CMLL World Trios Championship, the World Historic Middleweight Championship, and the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. Known for his fierce rivalries with icons like Atlantis and Mistico, Guerrero’s feuds have headlined some of the most memorable events in lucha libre history. His technical skill, charisma, and relentless drive have earned him accolades such as being named Luchador of the Year multiple times and being voted into prestigious halls of fame. A master tactician and revered veteran, Ultimo Guerrero’s enduring legacy continues to this day.
