Dana White, the big kahuna of the UFC, is about to unleash his latest creation upon the world: the Power Slap League. And there’s been no shortage of drama surrounding this new promotion. Critics have been coming out of the woodwork, slamming the league and calling it a variety of unflattering names. But there are still a few brave souls who have stepped up to support White in this bold new venture.

Enter Mark Coleman, a man who needs no introduction to fans of the UFC. He’s a tournament champion and a former heavyweight champ, and now he’s also a Power Slap League advocate. Coleman is the UFC 10, and UFC 11 tournament champion, and the first UFC Heavyweight Champion.

As we’ve previously reported, Dana White’s Slap Fighting League is causing quite a stir in the MMA community.

But, among the naysayers, one voice stands out with a message of hope: Mark Coleman.

The former UFC heavyweight champion and Hall of Famer recently took to social media: “Let’s go, I’m the Catcher. I will be a slapper when prepared. Give me a year to train.”

Forrest Griffin: From Knockout King to Power Slap Catcher in Dana White’s Wild New League!

Forrest Griffin is no stranger to dishing out knockouts in the ring, but his latest gig has him on the receiving end of them. The UFC Hall of Famer and VP of Athlete Development has been named the official “Catcher” for Dana White’s controversial new league, the Power Slap.

He said, “I’m gonna be a head catcher.”

“That double impact, you’ve taken the first trauma and when your head hits the ground, bang bang, both sides of your brain actually bounce against your skull. We want to prevent that and make it just the initial impact and have that be what causes you or not causes you to win or lose the competition”

Griffin is no stranger to the dangers of combat sports and is dedicating his post-fight career to the health, safety, and development of UFC athletes. It’s clear that Griffin is taking his new role as Catcher seriously, and with his experience and dedication, we have no doubt that he’s the right man for the job.
