The Brazilian Rafael Feijão, former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, is almost signed to the UFC. Even though he still doesn't have an official agreement with the organization, Feijão is already thinking about names and dates for his debut. In an interview with the portal MMAJunkie, the 32-year-old fighter nailed Ryan bader as his preferred opponent and praised his rival. “I like the way he fights,” he said.
Feijão seemed very confident about the proposed fight and seems to believe that Bader will also do his part to put on a great show. “I think we’re going to have an incredible fight,” he said. Despite recognizing the North American's abilities, Rafael also made a point of highlighting his own form. “I’ll be ready, for sure,” he added.
Feijão is awaiting the end of the suspension he suffered in May 2012 for using anabolic steroids before his fight against Mike Kyle, still for Strikeforce. The Brazilian caught in the anti-doping test for the use of steroid Stanozolol. His release will take place in May, when he hopes to be selected for an Ultimate fight.
