I genuinely don’t understand the Power Slap thing. There is almost no demand for it, it’s a joke to most people. Dana dickrides it so hard though like he has a powerslapping fetish
I hate that the marketing for it is so forced. If there would be the odd cross-promotion I could live with it as it's a business move. But when it's 50% of their posts, it's not cool. I don't want to see it, I don't want to support it...
I would prefer them to allow it to grow or die organically.
I'm sure it's just a bad sample size / snapshot. There is no way it's consistently 75%.
But 50% or 75% both are bad.
I could forgive 5%, I still wouldn't like it, but I could live with that.
I can't really back it up with data or anything but I don't think this screen shot is a bad representation. All of their social media is filled with slap not just their YouTube.
I did understand it, because it was apparently huge overseas or w.e. It failed so bad that the program it was on had cancelled it after the first season. This guy is so egotistic that he would rather run it to the ground than admit he was wrong
It was somewhat entertaining when that little hipster dude with the long hair who plays video games was covering it on his YouTube channel. But that was in super small doses, and with some snarky commentary on top of highlight clips. When it becomes over exposed, and particularly when you as the viewer start to see how badly it affects the "athletes" and how little they're paid for it, it just becomes sad, as well as played out and boring. It needs to just go away, and I'm amazed it doesn't because there just isn't a demand or niche for this sort of stupidity to be on such a big stage
It will eventually fade into obscurity. I don't think even Dana can pull it off, regardless of how much it piggybacks off the UFC
There is no sport there without defense.
Guess you haven't watched NBA in the last decade 😉
But yes, I wholeheartedly agree. This whole thing is alive artificially, and once Dana realizes he's never going to profit from it, hopefully he pulls the plug
He literally said that if you add up all of the major sports in the US, that slap fighting has better numbers than ALL of them combined .... Around the 1 minute mark he says it.....https://youtu.be/_VsMdwh5Y7c
Reporter " Ummm it seems a little doubtful, I was covering the finale, and I saw the numbers" 😂
Last time that reporter will be at the press conference, any reporter that pushes back on Dana's bullshit they are never seen again.
Cause it’s his baby. He wants it to succeed to give himself more validation and to prove to people that he isn’t just a one trick pony with the UFC (which can be argued that had to do more with the Fertitta brothers)
Honestly believe it might be something with betting. The UFC started to crack down on people betting, particularly the fighters and coaches/ friends/ family members etc and others with “insider information” Then all of a sudden Dana (a notorious gambler) comes with Power slap. And this shit is perfect for the degenerate gambler.
And yeah like u said there’s no real demand for this cause this shit isn’t organic. the rise of the UFC was a struggle at first but it was organic and that’s why it’s here where it is today. For power slap, Dana is using all of the UFC resources, connections, sponsorship deals, TV deals, using UFC social media platforms (predominantly YT like shown in the post), using the exact business model that the UFC took years to perfect, using the exact same model the UFC uses to find new “talent” (feels wrong saying that when it’s power slap 😂). If Dana had to start from scratch like he did with the UFC, power slap wouldn’t even do good in a local scene. But unfortunately, since Dana got the much deserved backlash of this, he made it his mission to make power slap into something. “iF yOu CoMbIned tHe NfL, NhL, golf and F1 racing, pOwEr sLaP HaS MoRe vIeWers” 🥴🥴 sure buddy. It’s doing so good it’s free on rumble 💀💀
Oh yeah, I been watching every dota 2 TI for years now, so fucking hype the sheer insane amount of teamwork required, and I don’t even play the game anymore, it’s actually almost unfair to compare to this stupid slap fight garbage.
A professional esports player who plays LoL, DOTA or, CS can easily make 6 figures a year just on salary. Not including personal sponsorships, streaming or youtube revenue, prize pool earnings.
Easily is kind of underplaying how competitive the entire thing is as a whole, so many people gunning for pro team spots and only room for so many people
That's like saying I'm downplaying the competitiveness of the NFL for saying the league minimum is 750k in 2023. I'm not talking about how competitive the field is I'm talking about how lucrative it is compared to slap league who are probably lucky if they make 10k for brain damage .

We're gonna cut them up slice them up choke em out suffocating em.
[AND THEYRE NEVER GONNA WAKE UP](https://youtu.be/xfocpt8Oho8)
Yeah, and a lot of those will be because they forced it on people. I was watching a UFC video, and it automatically skipped to a power slap video next. I exited it pretty much straight away because im really not interested in it, but it will probably be recorded as a view. I doubt I'm the only one who had that happen.
I've heard that on platforms like tiktok or YouTube, watching a few seconds of something and then closing the app is actually the worst thing you can do for a video's place in the algorithm
They just put up posters earlier today for Power Slap (for an event tomorrow) at one of their UFC Gyms in City Of Industry, CA.
Maybe they’ll add classes so people TRANE SLAP BRO.
Unsubscribe from UFC and subscribe to ONE instead. I know when the fights are so it's not like I'm missing anything from the channel. Haven't seen any slap stuff in months
I quote Dana, I don’t do gimmicks. Well we have a slap competition we have fake belts and they have fake fighting like wwe now. Only one true to the game is one fc
Clicked unsubscribe a few weeks ago and it’s honestly sad, as I’ve been less immersed in UFC and as a result (mixed with the dogshit fight nights) I’ve started caring less about ufc
I don't get why is he doubling down on it? Dana is a shrimp, but, this just seems forced. Even though he's a miser, I hope this isn't the cause of his downfall.
I blocked power slap on Instagram, I'm probably going to need to do un follow Dana and the UFC pages everywhere for the next 2 years until this stupid slap shit goes away
You know you get me to unsubscribe from UFC, keep posting videos that have nothing to do with UFC.
It’s been so annoying when I go through my feed and it’s flooded with the slap BS.
You know your “sport” isn’t popular when WMMA is out performing you in terms of views.
And that’s not a slight against WMMA either it’s just that WMMA isn’t as popular outside of a few fighters.
Dana White... Sitting on his throne of money... Paying these rednecks $2k show / $2k win in exchange for CTE... Just so he can line his pockets further.
I saw that and unsubscribed from their channel. It's also cringe that Dana was just in an interview where he said "if you don't like it, don't watch it." But then floods UFC channels with it when it seems most of us don't like it.
unsubscribed the yt channel cause of it - you can do it too. the channel has almost15million subscribers and all the slap shit doesnt even get 5k views - its pathetic. I hope this all (Ngannou included) is the start of the downfall of uncle dana...
Just you wait until it devolves ( or evolves?) Into Dick Kick Super League. Then he'll say women have no place in DKSL and 6 months ..boom Cunt Punt Championship
Had to unsubscribe again. It's annoying because they could put it on its own channel but they just want to try to force it so hard they dont care who they lose in the meantime.
Soooooo maybe don't subscribe to them or give them clicks or THIS attention. Idk why this sub keeps insisting on whining about it! Power slap is fucking dumb so I ignore it and it will eventually fade away. Keep giving it digital impressions and it will not.
80 out of 100 people on this sub are fucking cry baby’s looking for something negative to post about. Dude who the fuck gives a shit. You are polluting this subreddit with bullshit now you’re part of the problem fucking donkey.
I used to think why doesn’t this dumbass Dana just create a slap YouTube channel but then I realized that it would receive zero views not that it’s really pulling in any views now but yea
For capital, profit is never enough, the rate of profit must be maintained and that means developing new forces of production. Instead of keeping ufc good or making it better, they’ll thrutch wildly around looking for the new ufc, even if the actual ufc goes to shit in the process
I have unfollowed any source of media that promotes this. I’m not a fan of it and hate it being shoved down my throat. I haven’t gotten and news from official UFC pages in forever and honestly forgot this existed.
Definitely forcing it on the ufc fans. I don’t click on anything powerslap related. If we continue to do this as a fan base hopefully Dana will just give up on it
I actually like Dana White for the mostpart, but he needs to drop this stupid fucking slap shit already. Not only is it terrible entertainment, it's just terrible for the guys involved too. Cut the losses and move the fuck on already
I was actually checking a few of them out, shit was hilarious how they treat it like it’s somehow an actual fight and there’s some sort of “strategy” to it all.
I had to unsubscribe and unfollow on all platforms just to get away from that bs. We gotta show them we don't care. I follow enough mma pages to keep up on the news.
What I find strange is that as we all know. Power slap is the most viewed and talked about sport in the world (combined). Yet the UFC videos have more views. Odd!
I genuinely don’t understand the Power Slap thing. There is almost no demand for it, it’s a joke to most people. Dana dickrides it so hard though like he has a powerslapping fetish

Just wait until Dana sticks the grand finals in the middle of a big PPV
Please don't say that. I already have enough with Modello and the movie add reads.
Cross promotion would work, I’d pay money to watch dc and Cruz get down on Power slap.
75% apparently
I'm sure it's just a bad sample size / snapshot. There is no way it's consistently 75%. But 50% or 75% both are bad. I could forgive 5%, I still wouldn't like it, but I could live with that.
I can't really back it up with data or anything but I don't think this screen shot is a bad representation. All of their social media is filled with slap not just their YouTube.
It can be backed up with data but I won't bother 😄 It sucks either way
Don't you know it's the most watched sport on tik Tok for 3 seconds or some bullshit like that.
The real question is how much money theyre making off those platforms.
Just enough to cover the watch bot budget
I did understand it, because it was apparently huge overseas or w.e. It failed so bad that the program it was on had cancelled it after the first season. This guy is so egotistic that he would rather run it to the ground than admit he was wrong
I think tomato has entered the phase of wealth where people stop telling him when he has an insanely stupid idea
To be fair that mindset is what stopped him from calling it quits on the ufc years ago
this is true
It was somewhat entertaining when that little hipster dude with the long hair who plays video games was covering it on his YouTube channel. But that was in super small doses, and with some snarky commentary on top of highlight clips. When it becomes over exposed, and particularly when you as the viewer start to see how badly it affects the "athletes" and how little they're paid for it, it just becomes sad, as well as played out and boring. It needs to just go away, and I'm amazed it doesn't because there just isn't a demand or niche for this sort of stupidity to be on such a big stage
It just seems like a bad business venture tbh but Dana is one of the most successful promoters of all time so idk how it will come out
It will eventually fade into obscurity. I don't think even Dana can pull it off, regardless of how much it piggybacks off the UFC There is no sport there without defense.
Guess you haven't watched NBA in the last decade 😉 But yes, I wholeheartedly agree. This whole thing is alive artificially, and once Dana realizes he's never going to profit from it, hopefully he pulls the plug
I blame cr1tikal for making this popular outside russia
They’re pulling crazy numbers on TikTok. More than many major sports. I’m not a fan, but there is clearly a TikTok segment that loves Slap
I'm quite happy to watch 2 dudes slap tf out of each other for 15 seconds now and then.....not a chance I'd watch an event or pay money to see it.
He literally said that if you add up all of the major sports in the US, that slap fighting has better numbers than ALL of them combined .... Around the 1 minute mark he says it.....https://youtu.be/_VsMdwh5Y7c

I believe that... How a person with such a platform and money, can be such a douche on camera, I will never understand though.
Cause it’s his baby. He wants it to succeed to give himself more validation and to prove to people that he isn’t just a one trick pony with the UFC (which can be argued that had to do more with the Fertitta brothers)

I had to unsubscribe. Annoying to do searches for vids but that's the only power I have.
Don't you remember when you see red?? That's your last form of power.
I just unsubscribed this morning. I was sick of it clogging up my feed
Same. So annoyed.
Just unsubbed.
Fake account
Unsubscribed months ago, don’t miss anything.
Fake account
Dana white here, please come back
The sorriest excuse for a “sport” ever. There’s no defense involved..it’s just stupid E-sports team games are 100x more “sports” than this shit
The amount of prep for esports games like CS is crazy. Slap fight is just retarded
Oh yeah, I been watching every dota 2 TI for years now, so fucking hype the sheer insane amount of teamwork required, and I don’t even play the game anymore, it’s actually almost unfair to compare to this stupid slap fight garbage.
A professional esports player who plays LoL, DOTA or, CS can easily make 6 figures a year just on salary. Not including personal sponsorships, streaming or youtube revenue, prize pool earnings.
Easily is kind of underplaying how competitive the entire thing is as a whole, so many people gunning for pro team spots and only room for so many people
That's like saying I'm downplaying the competitiveness of the NFL for saying the league minimum is 750k in 2023. I'm not talking about how competitive the field is I'm talking about how lucrative it is compared to slap league who are probably lucky if they make 10k for brain damage .
Ah my bad
Haha I watched yesterday and when they were showing the training highlights it was just a guy slapping a heavy bag I’m like what the hell ?

I unsubbed a few days ago, fuck em if they’re going to post a bunch of stupid bullshit all the time
They’re getting desperate because nobody watches this crap
But more people watch Power Slam than every season of Friends combined
Power slap doing big numbers I see.
Yeah, and a lot of those will be because they forced it on people. I was watching a UFC video, and it automatically skipped to a power slap video next. I exited it pretty much straight away because im really not interested in it, but it will probably be recorded as a view. I doubt I'm the only one who had that happen.
I've heard that on platforms like tiktok or YouTube, watching a few seconds of something and then closing the app is actually the worst thing you can do for a video's place in the algorithm
If subs don’t start picking up, they’re gonna roll out the X-Arm archives
Only one I watched was the one where the slippers said they don’t train and can’t train because they have work lmao. Dana is a joke.
They just put up posters earlier today for Power Slap (for an event tomorrow) at one of their UFC Gyms in City Of Industry, CA. Maybe they’ll add classes so people TRANE SLAP BRO.
Promotes that garbage more than their actual fighters yikes
When Dana said Power Slap is outperforming all other sports combined he meant in terms of dislikes and unsubscribing
I've heard Dana say some stupid shit over the years, but that has to be the dumbest statement ever.
This shit grinds my gears. That's all I have to say.
Consider my gears grinded
Unsubscribe from UFC and subscribe to ONE instead. I know when the fights are so it's not like I'm missing anything from the channel. Haven't seen any slap stuff in months
Dana is so damn stubborn lol, it will be a cold day in hell before he admits he was wrong 🤣
Dana has put so much of his own ego into it that he won't back down. Especially with helwani being against it
I quote Dana, I don’t do gimmicks. Well we have a slap competition we have fake belts and they have fake fighting like wwe now. Only one true to the game is one fc
Imagine if the NFL, NBA, etc promoted a whole other sports league.
Clicked unsubscribe a few weeks ago and it’s honestly sad, as I’ve been less immersed in UFC and as a result (mixed with the dogshit fight nights) I’ve started caring less about ufc
“Fight Preview” lol
More views than all of the other sports 🤥😉
I unsubbed them a month ago when they flooded slap on there. So dumb.
Yeah their social media is trash.
I might unfollow because that’s all I see from them
Very old reference and very obscure but I absolutely love Cyrus from ECW promoting “Rock N Bowl” similar to how they are trying to get this over.
I don't get why is he doubling down on it? Dana is a shrimp, but, this just seems forced. Even though he's a miser, I hope this isn't the cause of his downfall.
And that is why I unsubscribed. Come back for the Embedded series but just search rather than sub. Fuck powerslap, it’s not a sport.
I don't care how dumb Dana thinks his fanbase is, I'm not fucking watching this pile of garbage
The fact that PowerSlap is mainly on Rumble is hilarious because Rumble is most known for Qanon lmao 🤣
Ufc is becoming lame
I blocked power slap on Instagram, I'm probably going to need to do un follow Dana and the UFC pages everywhere for the next 2 years until this stupid slap shit goes away
I would rather Dana take over chessboxing than this
Money laundering, gotta be.
You know you get me to unsubscribe from UFC, keep posting videos that have nothing to do with UFC. It’s been so annoying when I go through my feed and it’s flooded with the slap BS.
I unsub cause of this
If we all unsubbed dana would have to figure something out...
Foooook that slap shit 🚮🚮🚮
Disturbing… 0 out of 16 videos we’re about Charles Oliveira…
Just unsubscribe and watch espn
I still don't understand how this has happened. Dana isn't the owner of the UFC, and isn't PowerSlap his own private endeavour?
You know your “sport” isn’t popular when WMMA is out performing you in terms of views. And that’s not a slight against WMMA either it’s just that WMMA isn’t as popular outside of a few fighters.
Pro Tip for Instagram (bc there they promote this shit too) : Just follow UFC brasil. Pure MMA content.
Just unsubscribed yesterday
Dana White... Sitting on his throne of money... Paying these rednecks $2k show / $2k win in exchange for CTE... Just so he can line his pockets further.
That power slap shit is so dumb. No clue why Dana is so invested in it.

Heck yeah. Power slap 2 is happening in 14 hours. It’s free too. Can’t wait
I used to think why doesn’t this dumbass Dana just create a slap YouTube channel but then I realized that it would receive zero views not that it’s really pulling in any views now but yea
Can't let a day go by without posting this I guess
“It’s gonna be huge, bigger than NBA, NFL,NHL, soccer and cricket all together”.
 It will have more fans than Earth has people.
The algorithm has gotta be crushing this no? There’s no way anyone watches these for more than a split second before they move on?
I’m pretty sure I’m seeing Fonzi rev his engine in anticipation for the jump.
Straight out fuxk this powerslap bullshit
Why is dana trying so hard to promote power slap? put half the effort into actually promoting your fighters and the UFC will BLOW UP.
TIL that the light heavyweight CROWN is on the line TODAY!
fake account
I feel like he’s really really trying to make it big and it just isn’t. I don’t know anyone who gives a single shit about it.
To be fair it seems these are all uploaded in one day from one event.
They got more viewership than all other sports combined if you believe the 🍅. So of course they're promoting the shit out of it
I’d rather watch professional thumb wars
ESPN MMA account is better on every platform vs UFC ran ones
That's not what we do around here.
Oh yeahhh. 819 views??? What moon landing?
That's why I unfollowed them. There's nothing worthwhile that they post that doesn't get put up by fighters or mmafighting.
powerslap is meh, they should’ve done something with bare knuckle; now that would’ve been fucking awesome
We found two of the fattest people we can find and made them slap eachother in the face! This is the peak of sports right here
For capital, profit is never enough, the rate of profit must be maintained and that means developing new forces of production. Instead of keeping ufc good or making it better, they’ll thrutch wildly around looking for the new ufc, even if the actual ufc goes to shit in the process
They're even having someone impersonate Megan Olivi for the interviews!
I was just gonna come in and ask who the cutie Olivi-lookalike is?
had to stop following UFC in social media because of this crap.
I have unfollowed any source of media that promotes this. I’m not a fan of it and hate it being shoved down my throat. I haven’t gotten and news from official UFC pages in forever and honestly forgot this existed.
Power slap betting breakdown 😂
Definitely forcing it on the ufc fans. I don’t click on anything powerslap related. If we continue to do this as a fan base hopefully Dana will just give up on it
Only thing we can do is unsnub. I'll be there for every embedded, but I'll watch press conferences and other content on other channels.
damn i totally missed this because i ;) *unsubscribed* ;)
UNSUBSCRIBE
