The Preliminary fights take place before the main ESPN Card and can be streamed via <strong>ESPN+ starting at 5.30 pm ET (2.30 pm PT)<\/strong>.<br \/>\nHere\u2019s what we took away from the first Lightweight matches of the 2021 season:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;IE_para_light_p&#8221;]<strong>Arm Strikes Landed Can Make or Break Your Victory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This season\u2019s lightweight Main Card <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflmma.com\/event\/2021-pfl-1\">opener<\/a> between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflmma.com\/fighter\/anthony-pettis\">Anthony Pettis<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflmma.com\/fighter\/clay-collard\">Clay Collard<\/a> showed Collard at his finest. Landing 113 out of 160 attempted strikes (as opposed to a 51\/75 ratio for Pettis), Collard decimated Pettis in number of strikes, even though Pettis bested him on fastest strike speed (21.2 mph vs Collards 20.8 mph). Neither was knocked out or submitted, but Collard emerged as the clear winner by decision, receiving 3 points.<br \/>\nIn the second Main Card fight of the night, upsetting the 2019 Lightweight Champion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflmma.com\/fighter\/natan-schulte\">Natan Schulte<\/a> was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflmma.com\/fighter\/marcin-held\">Marcin Held<\/a> of Belarus, who won in a Round 3 decision. Held received 3 points for his win, and bested in arm strikes landed (103 vs. Schulte\u2019s 68) as well as top strike speed (a whopping 24.3 mph to Schulte\u2019s 16.9 mph).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matches seem to be decided with decisions instead of TKOs or submissions.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Main Card fights from Round 1 of Lightweights were won by decision, signalling a distinct difference from Round 1 of the 2019 season, in which Natan Schulte won in a first round submission. Overall, fights are lasting longer and opponents, it seems, are evenly matched.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Winner of the First Lightweight Match in 2019 Won the Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflmma.com\/event\/2019-pfl-2\">2019 Lightweight Season opener<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflmma.com\/fighter\/natan-schulte\">Natan Schulte<\/a> emerged victorious over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflmma.com\/fighter\/bao-yincang\">Bao Yincang<\/a>, going on to win the Lightweight Championship.
