THACKERVILLE, OK (November 19, 2015) – Bellator middleweight Hisaki Kato’s (5-1) story related to the tragic events in Paris has been highly publicized this week, and now he looks to provide an impressive performance for his Parisian friends back home in the main event of “Bellator 146” against Melvin Manhoef (29-12-1, 2 NC). In his explosive Bellator MMA debut against world-class striker Joe Schilling, Kato scored a superman punch KO that is an early favorite for KO of the Year.
