Tom Lawlor seeking permanent position in ROH

[Stopspot]

UFC fighter Tom Lawlor is about to make pro wrestling a lot more filthy ... 'cause a popular federation is close to inking a permanent deal with the MMA bad ass.

Lawlor ... or as UFC fans know him, "Filthy" ... made a special appearance at an ROH Wrestling event last month managing a tag team, and we're told he's been negotiating a permanent deal ever since.

Our sources say Lawlor got UFC's blessing to work with ROH during his downtime ... and he's excited to continue working with the reDRagon duo. For now he'll only be managing, but could still see some ring action from time to time.

We're told the deal is close to being finalized ... and Filthy is expected to appear at ROH's PPV "Best in the World" later this month.

Lawlor was fun at War of the worlds and the dude loves wrestling. I'm all for it. Bring in Barnett as well as he's also shown interest.

Nah. He's an active UFC fighter. Describes himself as "UFC enhancement talent". Known for hijinks and wrestling inspired entrances (he went a match dressed as Dan Severn if I remember correctly.)

Meh. I really don't care about MMA guys, but if this brings some attention to ROH it's a good move.

Can't be worst than TNA's MMA time.
