Dana White’s ‘Power Slap League’ Promo Leaves Fans Wanting UFC 300

10 months ago By Jhon Woug

With the latest move by Dana White, it is once again the MMA community that has buzzed up as the UFC mastermind leaves fans on a cliffhanger for the April 13 event at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. Although it was promised that the lineup of the fight card would be announced in time for what will arguably become a historic, epic milestone—marking the UFC 300th event—punters are left on edge with no answers.

As the talk of UFC 300 reached its climax, it seemed that White’s efforts to promote Power Slap, his new fighting league, were snatching all attention. Though it gained a lot of popularity after being put on air in January 2023, Power Slap did not manage to match the heightened enthusiasm that UFC fans displayed waiting for news as history was written.

White was attacked by his hardcore fans on social media. He received a huge deluge of messages, prompting him to make his long-awaited statement amidst all this. The MMA community can actually be seen demanding to present the UFC 300 main event and offering information about its current status as well. Nevertheless, despite all the noise from enthusiasts, White refused to provide any details about this issue, creating guesses among faithful followers about UFC 300 matchups.

Power Slap, despite being supported by many loyalists, has faced much resistance. This type of combat has been marred by challenges pertaining to safety and payment models for the league since its establishment. Some of the start-ups, for instance, a lineup of former UFC fighters and medical professionals, have raised alarm about recurrent full blows to the head that participants’ sustained while being prohibited from self-defence measures accumulating in debate on competition fairness rules.

Dana White is a name associated with excitement, fights, and fiascos. As CEO of the UFC, he has always wanted to push combat sports beyond barriers by coming up with something unusual on the promotion side that is captivating global fans. But his latest move has left fans ecstatic and disappointed at the prospect of what might follow.

The announcement of headlining fighters for this monumental event was highly anticipated by fans. Despite White’s past promise to reveal it soon, no information has been received so far. Instead, all focus is on his new project, Power Slap League.

Power Slap is White’s foray into the realm of slap-fighting; this contested and divided combat sport got started in January 2023. The game plan is straightforward but savage: two contestants, in turn, tap their faces with strong slaps aimed at rendering the opponent unconscious. However, the league has been widely criticized due to its sensationalism and online frenzy from within the MMA field as well.

In terms of physical aspects associated with this, unlike traditional sports like boxing or MMA, where individuals are usually able to evade the impacts of their opponent’s attack without any form of protection in place, This transition in the medical sphere and among journalists from combat athletics is unsettling since it has dire repercussions on the athletes’ future wellness.

In addition, Power Slap has been condemned for the remuneration systems because some athletes assert that their involvement does not compensate them adequately. In conflict with this viewpoint, some have argued that athletes are fraudulent individuals, thus deepening the debate on the issue of their morals.

Owing to its popularity, Power Slap has millions of fans and is earning billions in revenues. As such, the controversy over White did not matter since he will stay loyal even when a war decimates every element that could make him concerned about power slapping himself into bankruptcy filings before sunset. His actions are clear as crystal rain down on micro-advances, both with regard to moving audiences.

In fact, in a recent episode of the podcast interview, he proudly declared that his league has a better social media profile than the NFL, NBA, MLB, and WWE Alliance put together. He also dared to forecast the Power Slap’s worth, estimating a shocking $450 million earned in just nine months since its start.

Considering the state of hype surrounding Power Slap, fans are growing increasingly impatient as they wait for news about UFC 300. Expectations mount on the number of speculations on proposed matchups and name bouts growing daily.

Even though one can only make guesses and specifications, day by day they become wider and new ones appear; White never reveals anything, and even more fans wonder if an announcement comes at all.

The issues will continue to get worse. However, the promotional campaign of Dana White’s Power Slap League has managed to attract some fans, but their mere flashiness makes them want a greater level of explanation. As fans of MMA wait for new information regarding the main card at UFC 300, there is no doubt that anticipation will reign until White delivers on his promise.
