Professional kickboxer Joe Schilling is set to make his promotional debut at Bellator 131 on November 15th against Melvin Manhoef and has warned viewers he is ready for war.

The number 1 ranked GLORY middleweight and former tournament champion affirmed his sights on making an impact in his home state of California:

“You might not know it today but you will very soon. I'm one if the best strikers on the planet, and if you want to see people got laid the hell out, just watch me fight"

Schilling will make his first MMA appearance since 2008, and he will be greeted by a very tough Melvin Manhoef who battered Doug Marshall in under two minutes last month.

Bellator President Coker added his thoughts on the matchup: "When you put together guys like Manhoef and Schilling, records sort of go out the window. You know when that cage door shuts, these two guys are going to stand up and engage in what should be an insanely entertaining fight."

In addition to an already stacked card which features: Tito Ortiz, Stephan Bonnar, Michael Chandler and Will Brooks, Bellator 131 is shaping up as one of the company's best ever events.

With the addition, Bellator 131 now features:

Light Heavyweight Feature Fight: Tito Ortiz (17-11) vs. Stephan Bonnar (15-8)
Lightweight Feature Fight: Michael Chandler (12-2) vs. Will Brooks (14-1)
Light Heavyweight Feature Fight: King Mo (13-4) vs. Tom DeBlass (9-2)
Middleweight Feature Fight: Melvin Manhoef (29-11 MMA, 37-12 Kickboxing) vs. Joe Schilling (1-3 MMA, 17-7 Kickboxing)
