PFL 1: Victorious Alexandre de Almeida Wants Lance Palmer Trilogy in Tournament Championship

Former World Series of Fighting featherweight champion Alexandre de Almeida made quick work of Lee Coville on Thursday night at PFL 1.

The -1100 favorite scored some hard strikes on the inside. When the fight went to the ground, de Almeida snatched up a quick armbar to force the tap from Coville just 1:22 in.

He improved to 1-0 and earned six points in the PFL featherweight regular season standings; three for the win and three for the first-round submission. That guarantees he’ll be tied for first place at the end of the night.
