UFC CEO Dana White is all-in on his latest combat creation, Power Slap.
White's latest combat vehicle has drawn considerable attention over the past year, both good and bad. From the dangerous and violent nature it can bring, similar to MMA, it also has its believers. This includes ex-UFC fighter Paige VanZant and FOX News commentator Sean Hannity, who asked White about the ceiling and floor of the sport's potential in a conversation posted over the weekend.
White has gone back into the reality TV business as well, launching "Power Slap: Road To The Title," a mirror image spinoff of "The Ultimate Fighter," where contestants live in a house and compete for a contract and participation in future events. White has said previously that he hopes Power Slap can take on a global appeal, citing potential future seasons in Abu Dhabi and other international markets over the next several years.
For now, the sport's home-base remains in Las Vegas, Nev., and the jury is still out on whether the sport can survive in the long-term or not.UFC News: Dana White Non-Committal On Conor McGregor Return - ‘He’ll Let Me Know’Zain Bando is a writer for MMA Knockout, part of the Sports Illustrated/Minute Media umbrella.
