With seven victories in his career and only one loss, Rafael "Feijão" Cavalcante will finally have the chance to dispute the first belt of his career. After three quick knockout victories at EliteXC, the Brazilian was close to a title fight in the organization, which shut down before the conquest. However, Feijão’s waiting will end on June 6^th, almost a year after his last fight. Against Renato “Babalu” Sobral, experienced opponent who has 31 fights more than the Minotauro Team fighter, Feijão is excited.

 

"My goal has always been this, fight for a belt independent of the event I’m in. I’m training hard, I was already training hard and let’s go, I will be prepared for this fight", says Feijão, who trains with Anderson Silva, the Nogueira brothers and others great athletes. "I’m very well trained and at this time off I wasn’t without fight. When I went to the United States to fight for EliteXC’s title, and unfortunately it didn’t happen, we hired a sparring and I did five rounds against him, so that I wouldn’t be without fight rhythm", says.
