For PFL champ Lance Palmer, a second $1 million payday could soon be on the way

Lance Palmer had a New Year’s Eve celebration to remember last year — and he hopes history repeats itself by the end of 2019.

The four-time NCAA All-American won a life-changing $1,000,000 purse on the final day of 2018 after emerging victorious in the inaugural PFL featherweight season. Palmer ran the table to do so, racking up a 5-0 record over a six-month span. In the process, he made history by becoming the first-ever three-time WSOF/PFL champion. The entire experience was a blur for Palmer, whose defense of his throne kicks off Thursday at PFL Uniondale with the start of season two’s featherweight bracket.
