“Ain’t No Value in This”: Fans Left Stunned as Mike Tyson Promotes Dana White’s Power Slap League

The UFC recently launched the first season of the Power Slap event named Power Slap: Road to the Title. Licensed and sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Power Slap looks forward to showcasing “power, technique, and resolve”. According to Dana White, the best aspect of the show is to permit a contestant to openly and violently slap another he/she disliked personally.

In addition, as the contestant ‘The King of Kings’ Ryan Phillips expressed in episode 1, the show arrived with a package modeled on “testosterone” and “mayhem”. With all that said, ever since its launch, a significant amount of fans have doubted whether or not this contest should enjoy the status of a sport. Recently, the former two-time Heavyweight champion of the world, Mike Tyson praised and promoted Power Slap: Road to the Title. 

Fans struggle to digest as Mike Tyson praises the UFC-organized Power Slap event

Taking to Instagram, in front of 20.3 million of his followers, Mike Tyson, who recently praised Jon Jones, congratulated the president of UFC Dana White on an incredible Power Slap event. Following Tyson’s reaction, several fans have questioned whether he actually enjoyed the sport or promoted it for financial gain. While Mike Tyson praised the Power Slap event, a number of fans were left surprised.

Taking to Instagram, Tyson first said, “Congrats @DanaWhite on an incredible @powerslap event last night”. To which, Dana White replied and reaffirmed by saying, “Thank you Mike 🙏🏻 it was an incredible night!!” However, mannykhoshbin is finding it difficult to call it a sport. “😂 Please don’t call this a sport. We are going backwards,” they said.

Meanwhile, ruffdraft, taking a good look at the clip said, “Wow— he did a good job trying to fight through it—head was spinning and he tried to play it smooth”. However, lio_journey, said, “I’m surprised you support this kind of “sport”.

On the other hand, justcomeroundaye added, “This is the kind of game you play in high school when you’re drinking. If this is the new thing then jumping of roofs into pools should be sport and would be more entertaining.”
