Through four events in the Professional Fighters League’s short history, they have proceeded to do a remarkable job at striking the perfect note between up and comers and a slew of UFC veterans who are looking to hit the reset button on their MMA journeys following their release. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet an accomplished submission specialist looking to use his grappling wizardry in an effort to show the world why he is the top dog in PFL‘s featherweight ranks. A professional since May 2011 and representing Xtreme Couture, Lance Palmer owns a 14-3 record in 17 career bouts as a professional comprised of eight submissions and six decisions. Palmer has competed for Professional Fighters League, World Series of Fighting and RFA.
