► Add to the Discussion Discussion Topic: Lance Palmer joins Faber's camp and MMA INC Brad Proudfoot added to this discussion on July 13, 2010 Congrats to Lance on joining on of the premier fight camps for the lower weights. I'm interested to see what weight he decides to compete at. http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=12050&zoneid=13        Discussion Topic: Lance Palmer joins Faber's camp and MMA INC Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on July 16, 2010 I'm excited to see Lance in MMA. He's very powerful and very tough. I can see him becoming a dominant choke-out artist. Only question will be his ability as a striker.        Discussion Topic: Lance Palmer joins Faber's camp and MMA INC Gary Sommers added to this discussion on July 16, 2010 Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: "I'm excited to see Lance in MMA.

Hank, another queston will be his ability to take strikes.        Discussion Topic: Lance Palmer joins Faber's camp and MMA INC Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on July 16, 2010 Agreed... But if you watch Ben Askren--who arguably has the same issue--he just wrestles so well during his matches that he's constantly on the ground where his advantage is unsurpassed. I think Palmer has similar possibilities. He'll need to figure out how to quickly get his opponents down in order to take advantage of ground game dominance. I also think he's so powerful that his ability to quickly submit an opponent is significant. Obviously, he can choke. But other submissions as well. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I think Lance can be very tough in MMA as long as he remains at a lower weight class. If he goes up too high, he'll run the risk of getting his lights punched out.        Discussion Topic: Lance Palmer joins Faber's camp and MMA INC Ben Golden added to this discussion on July 17, 2010 Lance isn't a guy I think will have trouble taking punches, but I guess it's one of those things you never know until you see them. I've always thought he was just very tough based on his grinding wrestling style and the fact that he never really missed any time to injury in his college career. Even so, you never know until you see him.        Discussion Topic: Lance Palmer joins Faber's camp and MMA INC Gary Sommers added to this discussion on July 18, 2010 Quote from Ben Golden's post: "Lance isn't a guy I think will have trouble taking punches, but I guess it's one of those things you never know until you see them.

"grinding wrestling" is VERY different than taking a straight right to the mouth.        Discussion Topic: Lance Palmer joins Faber's camp and MMA INC Ben Roerig added to this discussion on July 19, 2010 Although it still gives no hint as to whether or not he can take a punch, I read somewhere (sorry, can't find a link) that Palmer has dabbled in boxing a bit, indicating to me that he he is at least comfortable with the idea of getting punched in the face and has some experience in that realm. Kind of interesting that he will be training at the same camp as Chad Mendes, NCAA Runner-up to OSU's J. Jaggers.        ► Add to the Discussion
