Two-time champ Lance Palmer believes relationship with PFL is beyond repair, asks for release

After winning his second straight $1 million prize and inking a new multi-fight contract, Lance Palmer was probably one of the PFL’s biggest fans.

Now seven months later, the two-time featherweight champion is asking for his release from the promotion in a public fight that’s turned personal.

According to the four-time All-American wrestler from Ohio State, his initial issues with PFL started after the promotion announced that the entire 2020 season would be scrapped due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The PFL would then return to action sometime in spring 2021 to stage its third season.
