As we inch closer than ever to the inaugural edition of Power Slap: Road to the Title, the excitement is building up. While there have been questions about the safety of athletes in the sport, Dana White has reinforced his belief that Power Slap is not a dangerous sport. In a recent talk that was shared on Twitter, Dana White compared Power Slap to boxing. He pulled out the stat that on average, a power slap athlete gets hit only 3-5 times per event, but a boxer may take 300-400 punches in a bout. The UFC president was also very clear in his approach and suggested fans watch the musical reality show ‘The Voice’ if the power slap disgusts them.

White said, “We spend the money and make sure we have two healthy people in there, proper medical attention during and after the fight. These are all things that we need to educate people on. Just like we needed to educate people on Mixed Martial Arts. but in slap, they take three to five slaps per event, but fighters in boxing take 300-400 punches a fight.”

He further added, “Guess what? You know what my answer to that is? If you don’t f**** like it. Don’t watch it. Nobody is asking you to watch this. You are disgusted by it? Watch the voice “

Fans are not totally with Dana White on Power Slap

Fans have not taken to power slaps as Dana White would have expected. Some find the sport too brutal, as the athletes can not defend themselves against slaps, and others don’t see any skill involved in the sport. Fans lit up the Twitter comments section after Dana White‘s video was released. A disappointed-looking fan wrote, “This is so fucking stupid”.

Another fan tweeted, “One small step for man, one giant leap towards Idiocracy”
