Tachi Palace Fights (TPF) is an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion which hosts events at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in Lemoore, California. Matchmaker for TPF is former fighter Richard Goodman.
Regarded as a regional promotion, TPF events often include upcoming MMA prospects and veteran fighters who have competed in organizations such as the UFC, WEC, and Strikeforce, as well as other regional MMA promotions. The promotion was discontinued in December 2012. However, the tribal council reversed their decision in March 2013 and the TPF returned in August of that year.
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.
