One of the top knockouts from 2015 came from Hisaki Kato, who flattened Joe Schilling with this extraordinary one-punch KO at Bellator 139 in June. While Kato has had two MMA bouts since that win, Schilling has switched to his more comfortable role as a kickboxer, where his last 3 fights have all come under the GLORY banner.

On Friday night, during the Bellator 155 broadcast, the Kato vs. Schilling rematch was announced for Bellator's Kickboxing 2 on June 24th in St. Louis, Missouri. The event immediately follows Bellator: Dynamite 2, which also airs on Spike TV.

I was wondering what was going on with that Kato guy. dude's a savage. all of his mma fights have ended via (T)KO, win or lose.

Now the pressure is on Schilling, wouldn't look good if he got KO'd in Kickboxing by the same guy who KO'd him in MMA.

Holy shit I never saw that KO. Joes head bounced off the canvas really hard.

it was one of the most shocking moments in the last few years for me.

after further digging into I found out that Kato is a savage and Schilling is bound to get KOed sometimes...but damn at the time that was 100% unexpected.

Ill be the voice of reason here.

Shilling needs to retire asap. His chin is completely shot.

His cardio is looking like crap lately.

When you're touted as a world class kickboxer and a Japanese guy knocks you out, the signs are there that you need to hang em up.

Sako will KO him again guaranteed.

I've only seen two Kato fights. Tell me more about him.


I fully except joe to get his revenge. Not fearing the td will help him a great deal.

I saw him KO Schilling with a superman punch from hell and looked up info about him.

found videos on youtube of his career in a weird japanese kickboxing setup where he was KOing fools left and right in headgear. all of his mma fights have ended in (T)KO win or lose. that's all I know really.
