TACHI PALACE FIGHTS 3 RESULTS: Champions Collide on 2/4/10

TACHI PALACE FIGHTS 3: CHAMPIONS COLLIDE was held Thursday February 4, 2010 at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, California. This is the former home of the WEC, before it was purchased by Zuffa.

Two new champions were crowned at TPF 3. Former WEC fighter Cole "Apache Kid" Escovedo won the vacant Bantamweight Championship against another former WEC fighter, Jeff "Little Popeye" Bedard. Rising star Isaac De Jesus captured the vacant Featherweight Championship against former Strikeforce and Sengoku fighter Nam Phan.

In the co-main event, former Strikeforce fighter Anthony "El Toro" Ruiz scored an upset win over former UFC fighter Hector "Sick Dog" Ramirez, winning by split decision. The downward spiral continued for former King of the Cage and WEC fighter Manny "The Mangler" Tapia, who lost his fourth straight fight, this time against Michael McDonald. Tapia had been 10-0 before losing 3 straight in the WEC, and now in his first fight since being cut from the WEC, he has once again failed to pick up a win.

UFC outcast Gabe "Godzilla" Ruediger won his fifth straight fight, tapping out Dominique Robinson, and made a case for his return to a bigger fight stage. Ruediger would make a nice addition to the Strikeforce lightweight division. Top female prospect Zoila "Warrior Princess" Frausto brought her record to a perfect 5-0 with a submission win over former boxer Jessica Rakoczy. Frausto will be competing next on the STRIKEFORCE CHALLENGERS 7 card against another rising star in MMA, Miesha Tate.

Two fights featuring pro wrestling family members saw opposite results. Hulk Hogan's nephew "King" David Bollea took out Tim Denham in less than two minutes with an armbar submission. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's son Colt Toombs made his MMA debut against Art Becerra, but found himself on the losing end of a unanimous decision.

VIDEO: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' Jason David Frank Makes MMA Fight Debut

Jason David Frank made his MMA debut against Jonathan Mack on Saturday January 30, 2010 at LONESTAR BEATDOWN in Houston, Texas. Frank began training in karate at the age of 4, and rose through the ranks to become a sixth-degree black belt in karate. He is the founder of the martial art style Toso Kune Do.

Frank was the longest-running cast member of several incarnations of THE MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS. He appeared in the theatrical movie, as well as the original show and 4 spinoffs. Frank got his big break in the original MMPR series as Tommy Oliver aka The Green Ranger. He later became The White Ranger, and has also been a red and black Ranger in other series -- POWER RANGERS ZEO, POWER RANGERS TURBO, POWER RANGERS WILD FORCE and POWER RANGERS DINOTHUNDER.

This is an amateur-shot video, so it's a bit shaky with commentary from rowdy crowd members. The actual fight starts at around the 2-minute mark.

STRIKEFORCE: MIAMI RESULTS - 1/30/10 Recap and Madman Awards

STRIKEFORCE: MIAMI was held Saturday January 30, 2010 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunshine, Florida. The main card aired live on Showtime. This was the first Strikeforce event of the new decade, and the show closed out the first month of the new year with some spectacular fireworks.

The main event saw Nick "Diablo" Diaz capture the vacant Strikeforce Welterweight Championship with a TKO win over current DREAM Welterweight Champion Marius "The Whitemare" Zaromskis. Diaz used his reach advantage to outstrike Zaromskis, however, not without being put on his own keister first. Zaromskis dropped Diaz with a right hand midway through the first round, but Diaz managed to regain his composure and land a nasty right hook late in the round, from which the Lithuanian was not able to recover.

In the co-main event, Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos retained her Women's Lightweight Championship in a 3-round beatdown of Marloes "Rumina" Coenen. Cyborg used her strength advantage to control the fight, until finally putting away Coenen in the final stanza, after a battered Coenen had pulled guard. This was Cyborg's first title defense, and it appears she'll be fighting Erin Toughill in her second, likely by summertime.
