Look: PPV Debut for Power Slap League With a Gigantic HW Clash Set for March 11

Dana White’s Power Slap League has garnered lots of criticism since the moment the UFC president made the official announcement of the show. Many spoke out against the severity of the competition, claiming that the contestants were not even given the chance to defend themselves when they were attacked. Numerous MMA athletes and followers of combat sports have spoken out about the reality show. 

However, White once more displayed his power. He was unconcerned by all the critiques from the start. The biggest example that shows the strong will of White is his next bold move. The UFC president is all set to take ‘Power Slap: Road to the Title’ to its first-ever pay-per-view.

Dana White taking Power Slap to the next level

As per the report from Justin Barasso of Sports Illustrated, the Power Slap League will have its PPV on March 11. The league will have a live broadcast from UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. On March 11, the audience will witness four championship fights in four different weight classes. Combat sports fans will get to see the first-ever power slap PPV winners in the heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, and welterweight divisions.

However, the competitors at light heavyweight, middleweight, and welterweight have not decided yet. As per the source, it will be announced in the upcoming episodes of the show. However, to glue the audience to the show, the two greatest slap fighters will face each other in the main event.

The major battle will be between Darius ‘The Destroyer’ Mata-Varona and ‘Wolverine’ Ron Bata. They both agreed to face each other as well. Both of the main event fighters are power slap coaches and are all set to match up against each other in the heavyweight division.

Save the date

The show airs on TBS every Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. (EST). The fact that the show airs after AEW Dynamite is one of its biggest perks. Without a doubt, AEW significantly boosts the power-slap league. Nevertheless, episode after episode, the show’s audience grows. With only 2,95,000 viewers, the show’s premiere was a complete failure. By the second week, there had been a dramatic increase in viewers. Nevertheless, how the public will react to the Power Slap League PPV is still uncertain.

With UFC Fight Night taking place the same day at 6 p.m., there is no doubt that it will be a thrilling day for fans everywhere. The main event will feature a bantamweight bout between Russian fighter Petr Yan and Georgian fighter Merab Dvalishvili. The audience must wait to learn who will win the day’s championships overall.
