Rafael Cavalcante defeated Mike Kyle by submission in just 33 seconds Saturday night on the Strikeforce undercard. Cavalcante opened by catching Kyle’s lowered head with a huge knee. Kyle staggered as Cavalcante whiffed on his next few punches, allowing Kyle to work to his feet. But Cavalcante jumped up and locked in a tight guillotine choke on the standing Kyle, who gamely tried to tough it out. He was unable to escape and ended up falling to the ground and tapping out, just half a minute into the opening round.
