Former UFC and Pride heavyweight champion, Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira commented his friend Rafael Feijão’s victory over King Mo Lawal last Saturday, when he got the light heavyweight title of Strikeforce. “Rafael Feijão, a brilliant performance, with spinning elbows and fast knees, bringing another belt to Brazil, beating one of the best American wrestlers on MMA. There’ll be a party in Cuiabá, with firemen cars and everything”, wrote the heavyweight on his Twitter, reminding of the time when he met the new Strikeforce champion. “I went to CUiabá six years ago to pick him up. He worked hard, he truly deserves it”, praises.
