A light heavyweight bout between former Strikeforce champion, Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante and promotional newcomer and Olympian, Yoel Romero has been revealed for the September 10th Strikeforce show. Sources close to the situation revealed the news to MMAJunkie.com, adding verbal agreements are in place.
Cavalcante will be looking to rebound from a TKO defeat to Dan Henderson last time out, a fight that saw his reign as champion come to an end. Prior to that he’d stopped Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal inside the distance.
Romero heads to the California based promotion with a perfect 4-0 record, all of which came via TKO. Romero won a silver medal in wrestling at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as we get it.
