LEMOORE, Calif. — Tachi Palace Fights promoter Jeremy Luchau may have aged a few years in the past couple months as fights that were booked for their Dec. 2 card continued to fall through. Read his blog “The Project Files” for all the details.

But now with the card less than three weeks away it looks as though things are pretty much finalized. Three title bouts will headline “Tachi Palace Fights 11: Redemption” on Friday, Dec. 2, at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, Calif.

In the main event, world no. 1-ranked flyweight and Tachi 125-pound champ Ian McCall will defend his title against Omaha, Nebraska’s Josh Rave. In the co-main event, Isaac DeJesus and Georgi Karakhanyan will battle it out for the featherweight title, and ProMMAnow.com resident blogger Ulysses Gomez will take on Cody Gibson for Tachi’s bantamweight title.

And fortunately for MMA fans around the world, Tachi Palace Fights 11 will stream LIVE and FREE on www.sherdog.com at 8:30 p.m. ET (5:30 p.m. PT).
