COLUMBUS, Ohio – This is the Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson live blog for Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante vs. Dan Henderson, the light heavyweight championship main event at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
Feijao (10-2, 3-1 Strikeforce), defends his 205-pound title for the first time since upsetting Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal at Strikeforce: Houston last August with a third-round TKO, handing Lawal his first career loss. Feijao owns all 10 of his wins by stoppage – nine knockouts, one submission – and has never gone to a decision.
Henderson (26-8, 1-1 Strikeforce), a two-time Olympian and former two-division Pride champion, is coming off a knockout of Renato “Babalu” Sobral in December. Prior to that, he lost his Strikeforce debut to Jake Shields, challenging for his middleweight title and losing by decision after a dominant first round. Henderson left the UFC for Strikeforce, after three straight wins, when his contract expired.

They are two of the greatest fighters of all time, and they fight under the same promotional banner, yet we rarely hear the names of Dan Henderson and Fedor Emelianenko paired together for a potential superfight. Well, I’m here to start the push. Henderson vs. Emelianenko is a fight Strikeforce should seriously consider as the next one for the legends of the sport.
On Saturday night, Henderson won yet another piece of hardware to add to an already impressive collection. After knocking out Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante, the 40-year-old now boasts the promotion’s light-heavyweight championship. Aside from that, he’s held PRIDE 183- and 205-pound titles, the PRIDE 2005 welterweight Grand Prix crown, the RINGS King of Kings tournament championship back in 1999, the UFC middleweight tournament championship in 1998, and of course, he was a two-time U.S. wrestling Olympian.
He’s won both tournament and championship titles in three different decades, a testament to the longevity of one of the most decorated American fighters of all time, who has amazingly been considered among the pound-for-pound best in the sport for over a decade, ever since beating heavyweights Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Renato Sobral in one night to capture the RINGS tourney.

At the age of 40, Dan Henderson is a champion again.
Henderson, the former Pride champion of two different weight classes, has won the Strikeforce light heavyweight title, defeating Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio with a third-round technical knockout.
Henderson got off to a slow start but put on a tremendous finish, drilling Feijao with a hard right hand to knock him down, then finishing him with about half a dozen more punches on the ground before referee Dan Miragliotta stopped the fight, awarding Henderson the TKO win.

Dan Henderson beat Rafael Feijao Cavalcante with one of his trademark hard right hands, followed by several more punches on the ground, to earn the Strikeforce light heavyweight title on Saturday night. The video is above.
Cavalcante had won the first round of the bout while Henderson had won the second, but in the third it was short and quick: Henderson landed that punch and knocked Feijao down, and Feijao appeared to hurt his head landing on the canvas and was quickly finished.
Henderson, the former Pride champion in two weight classes, is now the Strikeforce champ as well.

At the age of 40, Dan Henderson hopes to be the oldest man ever to capture a Strikeforce championship in his second shot at gold. Last April, Henderson lost a unanimous decision to Jake Shields in a middleweight title fight. After a move up to light-heavyweight and a December knockout, Henderson has the opportunity to face reigning champion Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante for his belt.
If Henderson loses, it will be four straight defeats in title matches, as he also lost in attempts at winning the UFC’s 185-pound and 205-pound belts before parting ways with the promotion.
In Cavalcante, he faces a powerful striker who also happens to be a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. Cavalcante won the belt last August, defeating Muhammad Lawal via third-round TKO.
