Hisaki Kato will meet Melvin Manhoef in the middleweight main event of Bellator 146 on Nov. 20 at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla., the promotion announced Tuesday.
In his Bellator debut, Kato (5-1) finished Schilling, one of the best American kickboxers, via vicious second-round knockout with a Superman punch at Bellator 139 in June. The Japanese fighter was coming off a loss heading into that fight. Kato, 32, has experience in judo and karate and spends time training in France.
Manhoef (29-12-1, 2 NC) has been known as one of the most entertaining fighters in MMA for sometime.
