Power Slap

  One of the most ridiculous and yet very entertaining fighting competition I have ever seen came out recently in a league called Power Slap. Yes! This is a real thing.

What surprised me about this was the fact that UFC President Dana White founded this league back in 2022. 

It had aired a show on TBS in early 2023, but the show didn't last long and was canceled. But Power Slap still has competitions going on and still provide content for a channel called Rumble.

The rules of Power Slap are simple, a coin toss is used to determine which of the two combatants will go first. The slap fighter has 60 seconds to slap his or her opponent while the one getting slapped, will have 60 seconds to recover.

This league even has different weight classes just like the UFC itself. There are also three to five rounds per bout and it is always one on one.

There are fouls in Power Slap. For one you can not club someone, no stepping, no illegal windup and you can not flinch.

I should also mention that these competitors are called strikers and not fighters. 

The website showcases all of the different strikers and there is even betting for these events. 

Now for the record, I do not think I would be participating in such event. But at the same time, I give these guys and gals a lot of credit for having the courage to do something like this and be willing to stand in there and take the shots that they take.

Say what you want about Power Slap or just slap fighting in general, but it seems to be a growing event. I wonder if they are going to try and make a video game out of this?
