Defiant Dana White Confronts Dissenting Fans After Signing Disfigured Slap Fighter, Causes Uproar in Combat World

Dana White is as unapologetic as one could get. But is it always a quality to be praised? Recently, White’s professional ethics came under fire after a questionable decision with his other venture, Power Slap. Everyone knows about White’s passion for battle sports. But did it go overboard this time?

The famous tournament that often takes place in Las Vegas is all about the hardest hitters. Here, the only defense is trying to tank the shots as best as you can. And sometimes, the damage is just a bit too much. Here’s how Sorin Comsa’s victory put Dana White under fire.

Dana White shuns fans over resurfaced video

A video from the RXF Slap Fighting Championship went viral after the 18th of January. The video had a clear view of how Sorin Comsa took so many blows, that it left his face disfigured. After going multiple rounds with his opponent, Comsa’s face was visibly disfigured and disproportionately swollen.

Now, the video has come up again. In the video, White can be seen explaining “In early 2023, Sorin Comsa fought in and won a slap-fighting championship back in his home country of Romania. What got even more attention than his win was the footage of how bad his face had swelled up during the fight . . . this guy, we believe has the toughness and the heart that we want in powerslap.”

Yes, Comsa won and perhaps it made the UFC Boss want even more marketing for the sport. But it didn’t quite land on his feet. Soon, fans and enthusiasts were up in arms against White. The video is brutal and shows how no defensive moves can hurt the body limitlessly. However, Dana White had an answer ready as usual.

“Oh calm down you little P*SSIES” he wrote in the comment section addressing his fans. Clearly, not something everyone might be pleased with. Either way, as usual, it looks like White is as firm in his stance as an old tree. Fans didn’t enjoy it but one Irishman certainly did.

Conor McGregor’s thoughts on the brutal video

Soon after the video went viral, opinions started pouring in. While athletes and fans had different reactions, the power slap enthusiast in McGregor expressed himself fully. One of White’s favorite fighters and perhaps the biggest contemporary fighter in the UFC right now, Conor McGregor understands the business and appreciates it.

“Absolutely gorgeous technique, congrats to the new heavyweight champion.” He wrote on his socials congratulating a hurt and disfigured Comsa who had the championship belt on his shoulder. Was the price he paid too big for the damage he took? Some might say yes and others, no. For Dana White, it’s entertainment at its best for a fighter who can take it to the victory laps.
