Dan Henderson dethroned Rafael Feijo Cavalcante

Dan Henderson was crowned as the new Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion after defeating the younger Rafael "Feijo" Cavalcante via KO at the main event of Strikeforce: Feijo vs Henderson held in Columbus, Ohio last March 5.

Henderson was able to land a solid right hook that whacked Feijo off his feet and on to the canvas at the 0:50 mark in the 3rd round following 6 more jolt punches to make referee Dan Miragliotta stopped the fight.

Both fighters were at even during the 1st and the 2nd round with the judges score cards tied at 19-19 until that wicked infamous " H-bomb" right hand came in the 3rd. 

The young Rafael Cavalcante lost the belt from his first title defense after winning it last August 2010 against Muhammed Lawal via TKO at Strikeforce: Houston held in Texas.
