Despite the severe backlash on Power Slap League, Dana White remains undeterred in his efforts to market it to the core. Since its announcement, his slap fight league has been on the bad side of fans. However, regardless of this deterrence, White recently announced the second installment of Power Slap, along with some exciting news for the fans.

Although many may be under the impression that this venture by White may not be a big success, the 53-year-old made a bold claim on the league’s success during the post-fight press conference of UFC 288.

Talking about the slap league’s success, White stated, “It’s unbelievable. Not only is it unbelievable money-wise, it’s been unbelievable as far as social media goes.” He then went on to make an even more substantial claim to back up his previous statement, saying, “We’re number one in all of sports. And when I say all of sports- if you take the NBA, the NHL, the NFL, F-1, WWE, and who am I forgetting- and add them all together, their numbers don’t compare to Slap.”

Now, with the next season of Power Slap incoming, the UFC frontman has some exciting giveaways and rewards for the fans.

Dana White took to his Instagram to announce the second season of Power Slap, scheduled to air on Rumble starting May 24. During the announcement, he shared the exciting news with his followers that they could win a VIP trip to UFC 289 in Canada, where they could enjoy the event in his personal seats.

But that was not all; he further revealed a surprise for the fans that they could win an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas. The winners would get to gamble with the UFC boss himself, streamer Adin Ross, and NFL player Taylor Lewan, along with a luxurious stay at the Red Rock.

However, there were still some remarks that Dana White might have overlooked. But in this case, the supporters were rather sarcastic than hostile:

  • “Oh sh*t it’s POWERSLAP the sport that does more than NBA, NFL, MLB and every other f**king sport COMBINED. YEAH👏👏👏”
