Lance Palmer has established himself as the featherweight to beat in Professional Fighters League, that much is clear.
The Team Alpha Male representative is coming off back-to-back championships at 145 pounds in the PFL in 2018 and 2019. After a season off due to COVID-19 concerns, the 33-year-old Ohioan will return to defend his throne beginning on Friday against Bubba Jenkins. Despite that track record, Palmer doesn’t feel any added pressure heading into his third PFL campaign.
“I feel like the target on my back has been there since I was 10 years old in wrestling,” Palmer said during a PFL virtual media day.
