The Ultimate Fighting Championship has garnered the love and affection of the public in ways that no other promotion in the world of mixed martial arts could. However, ‘Power Slap: Road To The Title’ undeniably failed to stand up to the expectations. Without a doubt, the UFC president, Dana White, had really high hopes for the slapping league. But the league was removed from TBS right after the first season.
Recently, at a press conference, a reporter asked White about women competing for the title in Power Slap. Surprisingly, the UFC president revealed that the team was looking for female contenders in Abu Dhabi. Nevertheless, the fans undoubtedly believe that the sport is on the verge of failure after its TBS removal.

During the press conference at the stage of White’s slapping league, a reporter asked the UFC boss when the world could see women competing for the title. She asked, “I want to know when you’re going to have a women’s title match?”
Although the slapping league failed to attract the attention of the public through television, the 53-year-old declared that he was indeed working on recruiting female participants in the slapping league. White said that it would be interesting to see when the team would begin casting for Abu Dhabi. He said, “Yeah, yeah. We’re working on that. It’ll be interesting to see when we cast for Abu Dhabi. How that plays out. I’m sure we’ll find some women over there.”
Moreover, White has been planning to for a new roster with an investment of $25 million. In a conversation with Grant Cardone, he previously declared that although the team invested $10 million dollars, he had to close the deal with $15 million more. The UFC boss claimed that the financial success of the slapping league was indeed phenomenal. However, only time has the power to show how successful the upcoming seasons would be.
