Dana White Confronted With “F***g Stupid” Reasoning as He Rants on ‘The Voice’ After Losing Fan Support for Power Slap League

As we inch closer than ever to the inaugural edition of Power Slap: Road to the Title, the excitement is building up. While there have been questions about the safety of athletes in the sport, Dana White has reinforced his belief that Power Slap is not a dangerous sport. In a recent talk that was shared on Twitter, Dana White compared Power Slap to boxing. He pulled out the stat that on average, a power slap athlete gets hit only 3-5 times per event, but a boxer may take 300-400 punches in a bout. The UFC president was also very clear in his approach and suggested fans watch the musical reality show ‘The Voice’ if the power slap disgusts them.

White said, “We spend the money and make sure we have two healthy people in there, proper medical attention during and after the fight. These are all things that we need to educate people on. Just like we needed to educate people on Mixed Martial Arts. but in slap, they take three to five slaps per event, but fighters in boxing take 300-400 punches a fight.”

He further added, “Guess what? You know what my answer to that is? If you don’t f**** like it. Don’t watch it. Nobody is asking you to watch this. You are disgusted by it? Watch the voice “

Fans are not totally with Dana White on Power Slap

Fans have not taken to power slaps as Dana White would have expected. Some find the sport too brutal, as the athletes can not defend themselves against slaps, and others don’t see any skill involved in the sport. Fans lit up the Twitter comments section after Dana White‘s video was released. A disappointed-looking fan wrote, “This is so fucking stupid”.

Another fan tweeted, “One small step for man, one giant leap towards Idiocracy” 

The idea of athletes slapping defenseless opponents doesn’t seem to be appealing to many fans. A fan commented, “I’m sorry I just don’t see the skill in this.” 

Another fan seemed unimpressed with Dana White‘s comparison of Power Slap with boxing.

The user commented, “@lthomasnews while boxing leads to terrible damage to one’s brain there is a difference of defending shots vs not defending concusive blows wilingly. Also where did 300-400 shots in boxing even come from???”

A fan who was not happy with Dana White‘s dig at ‘The Voice’ said, “Hey! What’s wrong with The Voice?! Blake Shelton was dope”

Another user’s comment summarized the general feeling of the fans. The comment read, “Slapping a stationary opponent is not a sport, it’s a freak show for dumb dumbs. #Danathewifebeater”

White has been planning to make power slap a mainstream sport for quite some time now. He has now reached very close to seeing his dream take shape. The first episode of the power slap is scheduled to be aired on the 18th of January, 2023. Fans, however, have not been completely convinced by the unconventional sport and its rules. Although, the sports short action-filled format may be highly sellable on social media platforms. If fans accept the sport as Dana White expects or not is yet to be seen.
