  • Cavalcante busted for anabolic steroids

    The California State Athletic Commission has revealed that MMA fighter Rafael Cavalcante has tested positive for the use of stanozolol metabolites, a form of anabolic steroid.

    This was after Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante submitted heavy-handed Mike Kyle in just 0:33 seconds last month.

    In 2010, Cavalcante made a name for himself by defeating Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal to capture the Strikeforce light heavyweight title. Cavalcante is a Brazilian mixed martial artist and presently competing in the Light Heavyweight division. Cavalcante, known for his aggressive Muay Thai style and explosive knockout power, trains with Anderson Silva and Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira.


    Feijao seemed to be gaining momentum again, knocking out Yoel Romero Palacio, and submitting the aforementioned Mike Kyle. He was being seriously considered to fight for the vacant Strikeforce light heavyweight title against Gegard Mousasi until the CSAC discovered he was using banned substances.

    Not only is this a blow to Rafael Cavalcante’s career, but to Strikeforce as well. The promotion has already surrendered several of their best fighters and champions to the UFC. Fighters such as, Dan Henderson, Alistair Overeem, and Nick Diaz.

    Cavalcante now faces a one year suspension from mixed martial arts and also a fine of $2,500. Other MMA fighters who were busted for use of prohibited substances include Chris Leben, Alistair Overeem, Thiago Silva, and Cris “Cyborg” Santos.
