Israel Adesanya is always ahead of the curve. The former middleweight champion is one of the most active fighters on social media. He recently opened up on how he also felt partially responsible for anime’s resurgence, with his iconic poses during the walkout. Not only that, but he also once took to the internet to give an alternative idea to Hooters while the talks of them rebranding themselves are flying around.

However, this time, the 33-year-old uploaded a b*ttslap contest parodying Dana White’s latest presentation. The video involves a lot of women competing in the hardcore contest.
Israel Adesanya found an alternative for Power Slap League fans
Adesanya shared a unique sort of slap contest involving all female contestants. He wrote the caption “So I heard you like slapfighting…” and posted an extended clip of contestants on b*ttslap fighting on his Instagram story.

The sport’s premise is just as silly as slap fighting but has a unique demographic of fans. However, Adesanya insinuated that whoever is into Dana White‘s Slap fighting, will find this contest, right up their alley.
Nevertheless, Adesanya’s free publicity will surely attract several new eyeballs to the sport of b*ttslap fighting.
The Power Slap league is the bu*t of all jokes these days
It’s not out of the blue to find Adesanya poking fun at the Power Slap League since most UFC fans treat it as a punching bag. Because the show didn’t have great reception from fans, on arrival. Furthermore, the show received massive backlash as some fighters even mentioned permanent brain damage on the show. However, the UFC boss assured fans and participants that they will make the show much safer, going forward. And hopes fans to forgive and continue to support his latest venture.

Until then, Adesanya and fans will continue to ridicule the struggling combat sport.
Do you feel Slapfighting is ridiculous? Or do you think it will slowly win over sports fans and become a success?
