Pimental was one of three fighters to claim PFC gold on the evening. Carlo Prater (24-6-1) grabbed the vacant lightweight crown, while Pat Runez (2-0) earned the PFC's vacant flyweight title.

The three title fights were contested on the main card of PFC 13, which took place at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in Lemoore, Calif.

Earlier in the evening, six-and-a-half year veteran Prater put a halt to Dominique Robinson's (4-3) two-fight PFC win streak with a clear-cut unanimous decision win.
