Moreover, this championship saw athletes who surprised Schwarzenegger as he praised a slap fighter. The former Mr. Olympia made an appearance on Paul’s podcast Impaulsive where Paul revealed a slap fighter with a 16-0 record.
“The One guy’s name is Alice he’s 16-0,” said Paul. Schwarzenegger apparently knew the guy Paul was referring to and had high praise for him. “He’s a monster,” said Schwarzenegger.

Following this, Paul agreed with Schwarzenegger and stated that this guy was supposed to take on another Hawaiian champion of the same caliber. “Monster takes people’s heads off versus a Hawaiian guy named Koa. I think they call him the crazy Hawaiian who is like the American version of the f****g slap champion.” He said.
It looks like the slap fighting championship certainly has some ‘monsters’ and by the hardcore nature of the sport, this comes as no surprise.
