According to TMZ Sports the UFC has given "Filthy" Tom Lawlor permission to negotiate a permanent contract to work with ROH in his MMA downtime. Lawlor has recently become the de facto third member of reDRagon, the current ROH World Tag Team Champions. Lawlor managed the team of O'Reilly and Fish at War of the Worlds, helping them regain their titles against the Young Bucks. The deal would allow him to continue to work as a manager for the team and possibly wrestle in some capacity, as Lawlor has been training in pro wrestling for years, has worked indy matches in the past for small companies, and has discussed forming a tag team with fellow UFC star and parttime pro wrestler Josh Barnett.
For those unfamiliar with Lawlor, he is one of MMA's most over-the-top entertaining personalities, is an avid pro wrestling enthusiast, and fits perfectly with reDRagon. Here are a few video examples...

Lawlor doing a Hogan entrance before a UFC bout against Aaron Simpson in 2010:
As you can probably gather this move should be all kinds of win. And as far as MMA/ROH crossovers go, it sure beats the hell out of featuring Dan Severn as a focal point to create heat for a world title feud in 2011.
