Tachi Palace Fights III Results
Sunday, February 07, 2010
Article By Matt Clarmont
Tachi Palace Fights and Gladiator Challenge Owner/Promoter Tedd Williams once again teamed up to put on an exciting show. Together, they proved why their partnership is producing some of the exciting events in MMA.
A bout between Cole Escovedo (15-4) and Jeff Bedard (14-3) served as the headlining contest and the TPF bantamweight belt was on the line. Escovedo endured Bedard''s aggression after being taken down and with the poise of a veteran, locked in a triangle midway into the first round to win the crown.
Millennia MMA''s Manny Tapia (10-4) may have ran into the wrong prospect in Michael MacDonald (9-1). After a disappointing run in WEC, Tapia lost his fourth fight in a row to the Palace mainstay after he was saved by the referee near the end of the first round.
Tapia was in trouble early and often and his improved ground defense was clear, though he seemed to have forgotten to work on his standup while he shored up that weakness. MacDonald brutalized him on the feet, rocking him repeatedly before a body blow doubled Tapia over and more strikes followed until the referee stepped in.
