Although Dana White declared that the Power Slap was successful, many people in the world of mixed martial arts had a different opinion. After the conclusion of season one of the slapping league, it was removed from the TBS. Without a doubt, ‘Power Slap: Road to the Title’ received a boatload of backlash from the public.

Nevertheless, White had a conversation with SBJ (Sports Business Journal) during the events of UFC 286, where he declared that he planned to expand his business and venture into the land of boxing in the next couple of years. He has been eyeing the AT&T Stadium as a probable venue for the return of ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor. However, whether the expansion would be a profitable one for the UFC president is a prediction only time can confirm. Recently, the famed MMA reporters, Aaron Bronsteter and Adam Stern, took to Twitter and relayed the message.
