MLW’s FIGHTLAND’24 is set to deliver a seismic showdown on September 14 at Center Stage as Donovan Dijak, managed by huckster Saint Laurent, makes his highly anticipated MLW debut against the formidable Timothy Thatcher.

After hijacking MLW’s Summer of the Beasts last week in New York City, Donovan Dijak has arrived with one mission: to disrupt and drip in gold. Under the guidance of the conniving Saint Laurent, Dijak has found an advisor who matches his ruthless mindset and thirst for chaos.

Billed as “The Disruptor,” Dijak’s MLW debut is already sending shockwaves through the league. At 6'7" and possessing the versatility of a hybrid hitman, Dijak combines sky combat, powerhouse wrestling, and technical grappling into a single, intimidating package. With an ever-growing ratio count that leaves opponents in his wake, Dijak is here to conquer, and it's Dijak or die time when the colossus steps into the ring…. but in his debut he’s fighting a wrestling wizard in the form of Timothy Thatcher.

Standing in Dijak’s path to supremacy is none other than Timothy Thatcher, one of the most decorated and crafty grapplers in the game today. A master of catch wrestling, Thatcher’s approach is surgical—hook, shoot, and dismantle his opponents systematically. Known for his genius grappling, Thatcher’s ability to adapt in the ring makes him a dangerous adversary for any opponent, including a super heavyweight like Dijak. Can Thatcher’s technical mastery and wrestling IQ shut down Dijak’s path to domination, or will the crafty grappler become just another victim in the Disruptor’s rise?

With Dijak’s explosive athleticism and towering frame, he’s a new breed of fighter, moving with the agility of a middleweight while packing the punch of an NFL lineman. Meanwhile, Thatcher’s cerebral approach and world-class grappling skills make this matchup one of the most anticipated contests at FIGHTLAND. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the question remains: has Saint Laurent bitten off more than even he can chew by accepting this bout?
