The UFC has always been an organization with some very interesting premises for their competition. Whether it’s the UFC 285 or the celebrated fight nights, the concepts have always appealed to the fans. Furthermore, the brains behind it, Dana White, has always been an enterprising man in terms of the business opportunities that come out of it. However, he might have stretched out a bit too far with the most recent endeavor.

The most recent league that is being promoted by White caught the attention of an NFL free agent. He proceeded to speak about it on Twitter and showcase his support for it. However, his tweet went viral, and he faced some backlash due to his endorsement of the new league.

NFL player endorses a new and controversial sport

NFL free agent Will Compton has showcased his support for a new kind of league that sprung from Dana White’s mind. The ex-Las Vegas Raiders player went on to tweet his support for the Power Slap League. The premise of the league is to showcase one’s strength by slapping your opponent as well as receiving one from them. Compton’s endorsement of the league included a video of two of “fighters” taking part in the competition.

The video went viral immediately after Compton posted it. It showcased two competitors going at it with hard slaps directed at their opponent.
