Rafael 'Feijao' Cavalcante suspended one year for testing positive for banned substance

Rafael Cavalcante defeated Mike Kyle at the Strikeforce: "Barnett vs. Cormier" event just this past May 19, 2012, in San Jose, California. He was impressive in doing so, too, submitting "Mak" just 33 seconds into the very first round.

It turns out, he may have had some chemical assistance.

That's because the Brazilian tested positive for a banned substance following the bout, according to MMAFighting.com, who confirmed the information with California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) Executive Officer George Dodd.

Due to the infraction, "Feijao" has been suspended for one year and fined $2,500.
