The California-based Palace Fighting Championship is live tonight at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, Calif., and four championship belts are on the line. MMAjunkie.com has live results from the event below.

"PFC8" features lightweight, middleweight, featherweight and interim bantamweight title fights, including a main event of lightweight champion and UFC veteran Diego Saraiva (11-6-1) vs. Brian Cobb (11-4).

Saraiva, who also recently won the American Fight League's lightweight title, will go for his third straight victory since a 0-3 skid in the UFC. He meets Cobb, a Gladiator Challenge and EliteXC vet who's riding a five-fight win streak.

In other action, WEC veteran and PFC middleweight champ Kenny Ento (9-3) meets undefeated Nate Loughran (7-0), who's earned stoppages in all seven of his career victories, including six in the first round.

PFC featherweight title-holder Art Arciniega (6-1) will go for his fifth straight win when he takes on challenger Jorge Evangelista (6-2-1).

Additionally, former PFC title-holder Shawn Klarcyk (7-2) and Jason Georgianna (7-2) will meet for the PFC interim bantamweight belt. Current title-holder Rolando Velasco (5-0), who defeated Klarcyk for his belt in January, was forced to pull out of the event with an injury. He was slated to meet Klarcyk in a rematch.
