A fan brought Will Smith into the conversation, following his infamous Oscar slap incident:

“Just give it to Will Smith”

Additionally, there was a group of fans who weren’t too fond of the belt:

“This is the dumbest thing in a long time and I’ll be watching every time”

“That sh*t is ugly”

“More than anything this looked like a toy”

Wherein some fans found the belt pretty good:

“Now that’s a bada*s design belt ever!”

“Oi nah that kinda fire tho”

Fans certainly got as creative as they could when reacting to this belt. Power Slap, on the other hand, had a more difficult time getting approved because of its unconventional nature, which raised some serious questions, giving White a difficult time altogether.

Dana White questioned over Power Slap’s safety

The slap-driven league has generated a lot of discussions ever since it was announced because of the unconventional nature of the competition and the worries about the safety of the participants. The Nevada Athletic Commission raised a rather serious question for Dana White to answer, “You will make sure no one dies?” 

To which, the UFC’s Chief Business Officer, Hunter Campbell, reassured the commission by stating that they have regarded the participants’ safety as their topmost priority. Campbell stated, “We have a high level of comfort following that, working extensively with the commission, to make sure that we believe that safely.” 

The Power Slap is set to make its premiere in early 2023. It will be an eight-episode series that will air on TBS.
