Bellator headliner Hisaki Kato's sister survived Paris terrorist attacks

Hisaki Kato has the biggest fight of his life Friday night against a longtime MMA standout. He won't be thinking about it much until he steps into the cage.

Last Friday night in Paris, at least 129 people were killed in a coordinated terrorist attack carried out by militants, multiple reports said. Seven different locations were hit. One of those places was a restaurant in Rue de Charonne where Kato's sister, Nathalie, was having dinner.

Nathalie was one of the lucky ones, if you could call it that. She was inside the restaurant when gunmen outside opened fire on the terrace.
