Lance Palmer has continued to compete for the PFL this year, but that doesn’t mean their past turmoil is behind them.
Last July, Palmer told MMA Fighting that he had requested his release from the league due to the cancellation of the 2020 PFL season in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. Despite the league providing a monthly stipend for its fighters, Palmer was interested in booking at least one fight in 2020.
The two parties appeared to be at a standstill, and when the 2021 season was announced, Palmer remained on the roster.
