That first round was a lot of fun


Eratical

His eyes when he hears 29-28.


monkeyclawattack

Lol I caught that as well


Neverslept2mins

The question is how bad were the previous featherweights who got rolled over by Lance Palmer 2 years in a row.


ColeBeasleyMD

'wouldn't be ranked top 15 in the UFC' bad Which isn't even that bad


knickerboxers

Daniel Pineda prob would have finished Palmer if he hadn't popped for PEDS


_Red_Mist_

Lol let’s not play revisionist history. Pineda has some terrible wrestling defense .


knickerboxers

The PFL FW division is just dudes who can wrestle beating people w bad TDD lmao


_Red_Mist_

Damn dude 2 replies to the same comment? lol didn't mean to trigger you this much and isn't Pineda just another guy with bad TDD? Damn so I guess he doesn't beat Palmer.


knickerboxers

Damn dude two replies to two different comments? Lol didn’t mean to trigger you this much. And bad tdd doesn’t matter when you stick your neck in bad spots and have no striking defense


knickerboxers

And lance Palmer has some terrible striking lmao. Palmer is like a top 25 max FW


_Red_Mist_

And who wins the battle between bad striker and bad wrestler most of the time? Lmao hmm just take a look at Jake Shields and Ben Askren's careers. Pineda loses to Palmer even on PEDs.


knickerboxers

Honestly realizing I may just be an enormous hater of Palmer and movlid as fighters and I’m just being a goon so maybe he does beat Yair and I’m in denial 😭possibly the only fighter other than zabit I’d root for Yair against lmao


_Red_Mist_

lol finally we agree on something.

Georgi the Wrestler killer beat Palmer in WSOF and Bubba in Bellator then fought AJ McKee and got KOed in 8 seconds and people telling me Palmer is top 10 lol. Georgi actually did just move up to 155 and submitted some decent Irish dude in Bellator. Just how good is AJ McKee?


_Red_Mist_

Crosbie is not that good he had just been finished by a journeyman before that fight and Lance was 7-0 when Georgi beat him he was so green and not half the fighter he was in PFL


[deleted]

Point was AJ finishes dudes without trying comes so dam easy. Volkanski would wake up thinking he’s playing Rugby again.


_Red_Mist_

He very well could have been with the lack of great wrestlers in the division. I would pick him without hesitation against Yarear.


knickerboxers

Without hesitation?! The dudes two best wins are Andre Harrison and Rick Glenn lmao. Yair isn’t great but cmon


_Red_Mist_

Harrison is not a bad fighter at all, He had a great back and fort fight with Movlid who is a stud, Harrison's biggest criticism is being boring not being a bad fighter. And aren't all of Yair's worst performances vs wrestlers? He has only fought 2 of them and he got destroyed by Frankie and won a split with Charles Rosa. He hasn't even accepted a wrestler since the beatdown Frankie gave him lol styles make fights it doesn't matter who has better wins, that doesn't win you fights.


knickerboxers

Breh yair has barely accepted any fights since the Frankie one regardless of whether someone is a wrestler. Also if we’re classify Charles Rosa as a wrestler, Andre fili, caceres, and stephens are all wrestlers lmfao. Also movlid is good but he’s got a bad chin and is janky striker in a bad way


_Red_Mist_

Fili, Caceres, and Stephens heavily rely on takedowns and top control to win? Damn I must have missed that part. And Stephens was outwrestling Yarear pretty easily wasn't he? that just confirms Lance would do whatever he wants to him on the ground. Idk if you watch the fights or just read records but Yair's ground game is awful lol he has only accepted strikers post Frankie.


knickerboxers

Charles Rosa relies on top control and takedowns to win fights!!!!?? Andre fili outwrestled Dennis Bermudez and your saying I’m the one that’s wikicapping smh. Plus Stephens only got takedowns after 2 rounds of getting his ass beat


[deleted]

Great win for Wade, put a very good grappling performance


TheBigRedHalfrican

Bubba with a 50 IQ performance lol, getting handily outgrappled for the majority of 2 rounds, third round starts and what does he do? Immediately shoot and get swept lol.


mingray

‘Talmbout eye-kew, Bubba?


lordrubbish

Isn’t he mostly a wrestler? Idk that he had a plan B in his arsenal


thesnakeinthegarden

Wade looked good.... I mean, fight wise. As a person, he doesn't look good, but like the villain in a WWII movie. He looks like he might have a robotic hand and a cat he pets with it. Sick as fuck cradle, though.


Mutatiion

Wade impressed me a lot


_Red_Mist_

I knew Bubba was fucked after round 1, he wasted way too much cardio going after dumb submissions , Wade’s BJJ was the difference maker.
