RESULTS - Palace Fighting Championship 7

The Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino played host to Thursday's Palace Fighting Championships 7. However, the event didn't go off quite as PFC President Christian Printup had planned.

"The Ultimate Fighter" (TUF) contestant, Richie Hightower failed to show up for the weigh-ins after calling in sick at the last minute. Leaving Printup scrambling to find a last minute replacement for Hightower's opponent, Bryan Travers. The bout originally scheduled between Hightower and Travers was for the 170-pound PFC World Welterweight Title.

Stepping up to take the last minute fight against Travers was Joel Crawford, who has failed to win in his 4-fight MMA career. While Travers was still able to fight on the PFC 7 card, his opportunity at title contention on this night went out the door. But as it's said, "the show must go on."

In the new PFC 7 Main Event, Light Heavyweight Champion Jeremy Freitag stepped in to defend his 205-pound title against Brazillian-born Jorge Oliveira. Oliveira rocked Freitag early in the first stanza, but Freitag was able to recover by clinching up with Oliveira. Throughout the fight Oliveria looked on the verge of stopping Freitag but was unable to close the show. Instead, leaving it in the judges hands and winning by unanimous decision, becoming the proud new owner of the PFC World Light Heavyweight Belt.

In other action, Glover Teixeria stopped the always-tough Buckley Acosta just one minute into their fight. Teixeira, rumored to be on his way to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), overwhelmed Acosta and finished him by way of a TKO from strikes.
