Dana White has never shown weakness in public. Without a doubt, he doesn’t intend on changing his stance with ‘Power Slap: Road to the Title’, as he announced the premiere of the second episode. The slapping league airs on TBS after being delayed for about a week. Although the UFC president’s new venture has been a risky road with tons of dislike from fans, there were many who actually appreciated the reality show and seemed to be impatient for the next episode. Surprisingly, one of the excited souls was the UFC’s Dan Hooker. As the fighter stumbled upon the Instagram post shared by White, he took to the comments section and showed his support for Power Slap. Furthermore, many of the fans seemingly found inspiration from the ‘Hangman’ and supported the UFC president and the slapping league.
The first episode of the slapping league premiered on 18 January 2023. The trailers worked magic. However, the episode didn’t perform as well as White would have expected. Nonetheless, as the show proceeds, the UFC boss can only hope for people to stick to it and grow to love it.

The previous episode of the slapping league did not do well enough as per the television standards. It found itself in the 45th spot on the charts. Additionally, the episode received a terrible rating of 0.10. To add to the worries, fans have claimed that the league was a dangerous one, where contestants could risk getting CTE.
