UFC President Dana White likes to see people have a go at each other, be it inside a ring or at a table. Power Slap is an American slap-fighting promotion established by White that gives a platform to slap fighters from all across the globe to partake in the competitions. It is a sport that has found the limelight only recently and Dana White, being an astute businessman and combat sports enthusiast, made a promotion out of it.

In a recent video uploaded by the official Instagram page of Power Slap, UFC HoFer and former champion, Forrest Griffin is seen moderating and overseeing a Power Slap event. When one of the fighters gets knocked out at the competition, Griffin’s reaction warranted hilarious comments and reactions from fans across the internet.

When a fighter or an athlete gets knocked out, it may seem funny to the entire world but never to the one being decked. UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin found himself in a bit of a predicament as he struggled to keep himself from breaking into a fit of laughter as a fighter was slapped unconscious.

The fans, while empathetic, made sure they saw the humor in the video as they rolled in with their comments. One commented, “Stopped way too early he was shooting in for a takedown,” while another commented, “These matches are almost always One slap and Done whoever gets first snap has advantage.“
