The UFC boss, Dana White’s new venture, the ‘Power Slap League’ failed to garner the expected response from the audiences in its first season. Despite accepting a lot of other combat sports wholeheartedly, a major section of combat sports fans went vocal against White’s $100M venture. Some fans objected to the brutality of this sport, while others criticized it for the notoriously low athlete payments compared to the high physical risk they took. It has been two and a half months since the final of the PSL. But as it seems, a large section of combat sports fans still hold their distaste for it.

A recent post on Twitter showcased the pre and post-slap fight condition of a PSL athlete. It may be agreed that the post-fight condition of the athlete was really disturbing. This post garnered numerous reactions from twitteratis. Also, a number of them took to the comments section and expressed their opinions.

Not a single comment on the post was in favor of Dana White’s PSL

The post was made from the Twitter handle of the noted MMA coverage house, ‘Bloody Elbow’. The disliking that a chunk of combat sports fans had for the PSL was quite apparent from the comments section of the post.

‘Bloody Elbow’ captioned their post, “Dana White’s Powerslap before and after damage”. But it might shock a lot of fans that there wasn’t even a single positive comment about the snaps or Dana White’s $100M venture.
