Two new bouts round out Bellator 162 main card

The main card for Bellator 162 is now set with the addition of two fights.

Announced on Tuesday for the Oct. 21 card in Memphis was a middleweight matchup between Hisaki Kato and A.J. Matthews, as well as a lightweight matchup between Goiti Yamauchi and Ryan Couture.

The 34-year-old Kato (6-2) has made his name in Bellator with a pair of knockouts of Joe Schilling: First in a Bellator MMA fight, then in a rematch held under kickboxing rules. His most recent MMA fight was a first-round TKO of Yuta Watanabe on the April 17 RIZIN card. Matthews (8-5), of San Diego, is looking to shake a two-fight losing streak, most recently a decision loss to Ben Reiter at Bellator 156.

Yamauchi (19-3), a native of Japan who is now based in Curitiba, Brazil, is 5-2 in Bellator and has 15 career submission wins. He's looking to shake off a decision loss to Bubba Jenkins at Bellator 151. Also looking to get back into the win column is Couture (10-4), the son of MMA legend Randy Couture. Ryan Couture was knocked out by Patricky Freire at Bellator 156, which snapped a four-fight win streak.

Also announced for the card was a welterweight preliminary bout between Ricky Rainey (11-4) and Gilbert Smith (12-5).
