TACHI PALACE FIGHTS 13 RESULTS: Joe Soto Chokes Out Chad George, Ian Loveland Wins 135-Pound Title

Tachi Palace Fights 13: Unfinished Business was held Thursday, May 10, 2012, at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, California.

In the bantamweight main event, former Bellator featherweight champion Joe Soto scored an impressive second-round submission victory over former WEC fighter Chad "The Savage" George. After establishing control with a couple of takedowns in the first round, Soto imposed his will on Chad George in the second stanza until he was able to choke The Savage unconscious. Joe Soto remains signed with Bellator and will likely compete in their next 135-pound tournament.

In the co-main event, UFC castaway Ian "The Barn Owl" Loveland beat up and eventually knocked out Brazilian bantamweight Alexander Crispim to capture the vacant TPF 135-pound title.
