Strikeforce: King Mo Dethroned By Feijao

The Brazilian fighters in Strikeforce had a good night in the main and co-main events. 


King Mo lost his 205lb title last night to the Brazilian Bomber Rafael Cavalcante via TKO. It was a tough first defense of his title and he was stopped by Feijao. Mo was winning the first two rounds even though the Brazilian was able to avoid the majority of the takedowns due to his superb TD Defense. While having his hands low and goading Rafael into an exchange Mo was caught with a right that led to the barrage on the ground that ended the fight. Feijao is an excellent fighter and I am looking forward to both a remathc with Mo and a fight with Mousasi. the rest of the results are below.
