"I want it known that I want Feijao, and if he's a real champion, he'll want to avenge his loss. I believe it makes me the number one contender, and I hope Strikeforce feels the same. I have a lot of fans that have been calling me, telling me, texting me and telling me that the (next title) fight should be mine. It was a good show to watch, an exciting fight. I was a little disappointed that Mo didn't put on a better fight. The inexperience of both fighters showed, and that's where I believe I will beat Feijao, because I have more experience than him. No disrespect to him or his camp, but he has my belt, and I'm better than him in every category and that I can beat him in every category. If you put me in the cage with him again, it's going to be the same fight as last time."
Mike Kyle likes his chances against newly-minted Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Rafael Cavalcante. "MAK" flattened the Brazilian at the June 2009 "Lawler vs. Shields" event and believes history will repeat itself if he's granted a rematch against "Feijao" in the near future. Does Kyle, the winner of four straight, have first dibs on the promotion's 205-pound strap?

How does that make you the number one contender? Its about what you do now that matters not before.
Oh wait this is Strikeforce, Nevermind..
Triangles don't dodge Fedor.
No wait wait wait. Listen Mike first you have to screw the pooch and stop winning.
Lose you next fight and then you will have a title shot,
This is the word according to Coker.
Praise be to Strikeforce.
I've got something to say; it better to burn in hell than to fade away!!!
Jesse's back!
Feijao showed a solid game in the past fight. I expect him to keep the belt for some fights yet.
"No one wants to be defeated" Michael Jackson on MMA fights
''A man is not finished when he's defeated; he's finished when he quits'' Richard M. Nixon on Fedor's loss
Feijao is a different person
than when they fought the first time.
I haven't seen much change from Cavalcante
He was a good striker when Kyle stopped him. I think Kyle will outclass him if they fight again. I think Kyle’s only loss since their last fight was to Werdum at HW. Kyle stays busy and is a tough fight for most anyone.
"That wasn't just winning. I mean, that was just demolishment."
Give him the shot.. Nobody else avail
Babalu is rumored to be fighting hendo. Mo will be out for a while… Who else do they have? I really cant think of anyone else.
Plus kyle did stop feijo, im sure he wants to avenge that loss and make people know it was a fluke.

Mike Kyle is a real great guy in Person by the way
but to the fight… yes Kyle can beat him. Kyle has beaten himself alot in the past because the guy has always been legit. I look forward to this match if it happens
Eh, tough matchup
Feijao is indeed a very different fighter than he was in the past. He really fixed up his game which allowed him to beat King Mo, no easy task. I think Kyle is getting over his head here underestimating him, but I’d watch the fight for sure.
