After a bad debut at Strikeforce, being knocked out by Mike Kyle, Rafael “Feijão” Cavalcante keep the head up and train hard to step up again in the octagon. Expected to fight for the title in the first moment, the Brazilian will have to work hard to earn the chance one more time. “I had problems to make weight for this fight, but that’s not an excuse, I faced a very tough opponent”, says Feijão. “But this loss only makes me stronger, now I have to work more on my mistakes and get back to the tops”.

About the return, the light heavyweight fighter reveals that he might get back in there in October. “I’ll fight in October, I’m just waiting for the confirmation of when and against who”, said, remembering that the opponent changing in the first fight were also a problem. “I had my opponent changed four times before the fight and I couldn’t do my preparation right… I saw many mistakes in that fight, but I decided to do it so I was my mistake”, finished the fighter.
