The World Series of Fighting featherweight champion outlanded Chris Horodecki standing, took him down twice and finished with a rear-naked choke at 4:28 of the first round in the main event of WSOF 21 on Friday night in Edmonton. It was Palmer's first title defense.
Palmer (10-1) landed good left hands and achieved back mount on Horodecki twice. The first time he cinched in a neck crank, but Horodecki was able to slip out. Horodecki wasn't so lucky the second time around. Palmer flattened him out and locked in the choke. Horodecki had no choice but to tap.
