Tachi Palace Fights (TPF) was an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion which hosted events at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in Lemoore, California. Matchmaker for TPF was former fighter Richard Goodman.

Contents

Regarded as a regional promotion, TPF events often included upcoming MMA prospects and veteran fighters who had competed in organizations such as the UFC, WEC, and Strikeforce, as well as other regional MMA promotions. The promotion was discontinued first in December 2012. [1] However, the tribal council reversed their decision in March 2013 and the TPF returned in August of that year. [2] Tachi Palace Fights would cease operations again in late 2018.

History

Tachi Palace Fights began hosting events at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in 2009 after the resort ceased its relationship with Palace Fighting Championship (PFC). Despite the change in promotion, many of the same local California fighters that competed for PFC were on the early TPF cards.

Tachi Palace Fights 1 featured then Bellator featherweight champion Joe Soto, fellow Bellator veteran Ulysses Gomez, and WEC standout Chad Mendes. Also on the card, The Ultimate Fighter 6 alum Jon Koppenhaver lost a split decision to prospect David Mitchell, as well as The Ultimate Fighter 14 veteran Steven Siler.

TPF 2: Brawl in the Hall saw David Mitchell return to defeat King of the Cage and Affliction: Day of Reckoning veteran Bobby Green by submission via toe hold, while UFC veteran Diego Saraiva won against Eddie Yagin via technical knockout. Meanwhile, Anthony Ruiz took a unanimous decision over French UFC veteran Xavier Foupa-Pokam. Cyrille Diabate submitted Rob Smith via rear naked choke in his final fight before beginning his stint with the UFC.

On February 4, 2010, Tachi Palace Fights hosted a thirteen fight event named TPF 3: Champions Collide. WEC and Dream competitor Cole Escovedo won the TPF bantamweight title by defeating Jeff Bedard via triangle choke. TUF 12 alum Nam Phan was knocked out by Isaac DeJesus in a bout for the TPF featherweight title. Bellator female champion Zoila Frausto appeared, submitting boxer Jessica Rakoczy via armbar. Anthony Ruiz scored another impressive victory, defeating UFC veteran Hector Ramirez via split decision. [3]

TPF 4: Cinco de Mayhem occurred on May 5, 2010 and featured a flyweight bout between Ulysses Gomez and Luis Gonzalez. Gomez won the bout via unanimous decision, capturing the promotion's newly introduced flyweight title. In the welterweight class, prospect David Mitchell submitted UFC and WEC veteran Tim McKenzie with a guillotine choke to win the TPF welterweight title.

TPF 5: Stars and Strikes occurred on July 9, 2010, The event was headlined by a 160-pound catchweight fight between WEC veteran Rob McCullough and TPF featherweight champion Isaac DeJesus. McCullough won the bout via technical knockout in the first round. Prospect Michael McDonald knocked out Cole Escovedo to secure the TPF bantamweight title. Veteran fighter John Alessio put War Machine to sleep with a guillotine choke in their welterweight contest, while David Mitchell returned to defeat local journeyman Poppies Martinez with a triangle choke.

TPF 6: High Stakes happened on the night of September 9, 2010. The event featured a middleweight bout between former WEC light heavyweight champion Doug Marshall and TUF 11 alum Kyacey Uscola. Uscola knocked Marshall out with punches during the first round. Also featured was a lightweight bout between Rob McCullough and The Ultimate Fighter 5 alum Corey Hill, which McCullough won via unanimous decision. Leopoldo Serao claimed the TPF middleweight title in a bout against Anthony Ruiz, while veterans Micah Miller and Diego Saraiva squared off in a bout which Miller took by unanimous decision. [4]

TPF 7: Deck the Halls occurred on December 2, 2010.

In the main event, Brazilian journeyman Jorge Oliveira defeated UFC veteran James Irvin via triangle choke in a middleweight contest. Micah Miller submitted TPF featherweight champion Isaac DeJesus via neck crank. DeJesus retained his title, however, as Miller came into the bout two pounds over the featherweight limit. John Alessio defeated Phil Collins to win the TPF welterweight title, vacated by prospect David Mitchell when he was signed by the UFC. Flyweight ace Jussier da Silva defeated Danny Martinez via unanimous decision in his first North American bout. [5]

TPF 8: All or Nothing took place on February 18, 2011.

In the nights main event former UFC middleweight contender David Loiseau won the TPF middleweight title by defeating Leopoldo Serao by TKO (cut) early in the 5th round. Little action took place in the bout before Loiseau landed the fight ending blow. In other action Darrell Montague put on a sensational performance by out pointing Ulysses Gomez and winning the TPF flyweight title by unanimous. Also on the card the world's No. 1 ranked flyweight in the world was not able to back up that claim as he lost a unanimous decision to recently turned flyweight Ian McCall. Also on the card Dominique Robinson battered John Gunderson to a third round tko victory, Edgar Garcia submitted Mike Moreno in the first round, UFC vet Fabricio Camoes defeated another UFC vet Steve lopez by tko in the first round after he landed a head kick.
