From Lance Palmer’s perspective, there are a number of ways to look at Monday night’s PFL Finals and his chance at a million bucks. On the one hand, he’s 30 years old and entering his 20th fight as a professional mixed martial artist (having compiled a 16-3 record, and winning multiple titles). At this point, he should be getting a big payday because he’s earned it. On the other hand, he’s been fighting since 2011 and has only begun to make real money in 2018. Though the potential is there, MMA isn’t always a lucrative path.
