Combat sports have been the mainstay in the entertainment business, such as Boxing, UFC, and WWE. Recently, UFC president Dana White came up with a new sport that will enthrall audiences across the world. The Nevada Athletic Commission licensed the ‘Power Slap League’ to bring the sport of slap-fighting to mainstream audiences.

But, ‘The Daily Show’ host, Trevor Noah, is not a fan of the budding sport. And he took it upon himself to roast the idea. He compared it to mothers slapping their children to discipline them.

It was White’s gut feeling that brought MMA out to the worldwide audience. And it has struck gold. But, can he repeat the success with the bizarre slapping sport? 

Dana White introduced a professional slapping competition

Slap Fighting is a pretty self-explanatory sport. In it, two professional slap-fighters take turns slapping each other faces off with their palm. The winner is determined by who can take more slaps without being knocked out. Also, slap fighters train intensively and practice their technique to deliver mighty slaps.

‘The Daily Show’ host and comedian, Trevor Noah, had his say on the matter. He didn’t hesitate to poke fun at the concept. Noah predicted “Those big dudes might be the champs for now, but it’s only a matter of time before the sport is dominated by immigrant moms…”, ridiculing the sport.

“I am excited to see how the Nevada Athletic Commission plans to regulate the rules of the sport,” on his Daily show adding “Like, are you allowed to flinch? … Can I use my moves from school? Is Will Smith the reigning champ? Is that how it works?” bringing up Will Smith’s infamous slap to Chris Rock.

UFC‘s boss, White, saw the potential in this unpopular sport and decided to bring it to the mainstream.

The Nevada Athletic Commission officially licensed the ‘Power Slap League’ to host events in Las Vegas. Dana White has announced the Power Slap League at the UFC 280 event. The UFC boss posted it on Twitter and said “BOOOOOOOM!!!! @powerslapleague”. 

But Dana White is excited about the future of the sport. It is these weird sporting concepts that usually strike a chord with the audience. Clearly, White sees potential in the sport.
