One of the biggest surprises to come out of Bellator 139 on June 26 was Hisaki Kato’s second-round knockout of Joe Schilling.
Kato, who had never fought outside the Heat promotion prior to his Bellator debut, not only knocked out the favored Schilling, but did so in spectacular fashion via a Superman punch.
“I had a big knockout, but it was more than I was expecting,” Kato told MMAWeekly.com. “I was looking for a KO, but not like that, so I’m really happy.”
The punch was something Kato had anticipated he could land if he set up his opponent properly.
