Rafael "Feijao," a devastating striking with a fierce killer instinct, has produced all eight of his wins inside the distance. He trains out of the famed Black House camp with Jacare Souza, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.

Rafael "Feijao" is the current Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion. "Feijao" captured the belt from the then-undefeated "King Mo" Lawal on Aug. 21 at Strikeforce: Houston. After trading punches in the second, Feijao came out swinging in the third. He landed a few strong combinations and caught Mo with a powerful knee. Clearly wounded, Mo tried to take his opponent to the ground to minimize the damage but, while locked up standing, Feijao battered Mo with a series of brutal slashing elbows to Mo’s head, knocking him out at 1:14.
