After confirming exclusively to TATAME.com that he’ll do his next fight in EliteXC for the light-heavyweight title, Rafael “Feijão” Cavalcante said that his trainings now are focused in one opponent. “It looks like I’m going to face Cyrille Diabate, who fought with Shogun (Rua) in Pride. I think will be him, 90% chances”, said the athlete, that will face at November 8th card. With three fast knockouts on the event, Cavalcante keeps training with Anderson Silva to win the belt.

“We’re training very hard, Anderson trains at (October) 25th and I’ll fight at (November) 5th, so we’re training together. I saw all of his fights here with Anderson and he’s from Muay Thai, good standing up and has a reasonable ground game, and I’ll beat this guy standing up, we’re training for that”, guarantees Rafael, training with the UFC middleweight dominance champion.

"I'm getting beat a lot, but I can handle it. I’m training with Daniel Wiorin standing up, and Boxing with Maldonado, and after that it’s hard to lose for anyone, I ca handle any fighter”, jokes Cavalcante, eyeing his first title in career after 10 fights. “Win this belt is like a dream coming true, everything I always wanted. I train hard and no nothing wrong to avoid any surprises. It’ll be the first of many other belts”.
