Obviously Palmer is a different fighter now but I have to say,that ******** decision to Jared Downing still bothers me,in over 20 years of watching mma that was one of the worst decisions I have ever seen.With that said,i'm sure lance would smoke him now but either way,he lost that fight.Hoping The Party wins this one.

Why is Palmer fighting from distance?  Shouldn't he be looking for a more close up fight?

Almeida is a beast. That TDD was unreal. No back against the fence, just defending these TD's right in the middle.

Palmer needs to do more with his takedowns.

Talk about being exposed. Palmer looks like a puffier, slower and less technical Chad Mendes in there.

the judges will probably give R4 to Palmer, but he did nothing with that takedown.
