The American slap-fighting promotion has been reaching new levels of success. It was started and owned by the UFC CEO, Dana White. Now that UFC has been gaining more ground in terms of popularity, more and more people are getting drawn to Power Slap. White seems to be thrilled with the level of success that his new venture has been reaching.

However, it seems there is some discrepancy there – between the fans and the UFC CEO. The Power Slap video game has been released for iOS and Android and users have been taking a lot of liking towards it. Now that UFC 5 is going to be released soon, fans are hyped. In the middle of all this, Dana White has made a really tall claim about exactly how much the fans like the Power Slap video game and it seems the internet didn’t hold back in calling him out and trolling him.

Ever since Power Slap made its way onto the scene, there has been a lot of controversy and eyebrow-raising details surrounding it. Fans have been criticizing it harshly but Dana White seems to take no notice of that. He has, frequently, laughed off these criticisms. The NAC has also tried to regulate Power Slap and the chairman, who gave the ‘go’ for Power Slap, has said that he now feels that he has made a ‘mistake’. In fact, Brendan Schaub, an ex-UFC fighter, also feels that White should not be a part of Power Slap.

It is still unclear how people are receiving Power Slap and now that the video game is available for the fans to enjoy, there is a way to support claims with proper statistical data. In a recent press conference, Dana White said that the Power Slap video game is receiving overwhelming love and levels of success. And this video has been going viral since.

Fans criticize Dana White for misrepresenting the success of Power Slap – Is it true or not?

Dana White’s Power Slap is yet another controversial venture that the UFC CEO spearheads. He recently claimed that the Power Slap video game was downloaded 350 million times in all. That is a staggering number which is extremely impressive for a venture that is still pretty new. However, no matter what the UFC CEO says, it seems the fans are not ready to take his word for it.

Fans called his claims to be false. “The way his voice cracked in the middle of saying that bs. Lol“, said one fan as another said, “Just checked and its around 1 million downloads, which is surprising honestly. You literally can only win by watching ads to slap someone more. Thats it.“.

Another fan joined in saying, “It’s either Dana is fed the wrong information or his source is he made it the f**k up“, while another added saying, “He don’t even believe that bullsh*t“.

Others also seemed to be on the same page as comments like, “Damn , i wish there was at least one media guy who calls out Dana whenever he throws such bullsh*t. Nobody questions Dana…“,

You have to BUY it!? Dana couldn’t pay me to play that trash.“, and “I thought he was talking about UFC 5, even then 350m downloads is stupid,” rolled in.

This is called “puffing” in the marketing world. Making your product seem greater than it is to the potential consumers“, one fan pointed out.
