"Power Slap" - Brutal Extreme Fighting at Fountainbleau, LV Under Attack from Doctors
.
a dangerous kind of extreme fighting - Power Slap - has become popular in Las Vegas
competitors smack each other in the face until one is knocked out
"competitors are not allowed to defend themselves which means they can be struck on the head multiple times in the same place in one fight"
the sport is under attack from Doctors at the Brain Injury Association of America - see link
I'm on the side of the Doctors - this is just too, too much - how far will people stray into extremely dangerous territory for the sake of cheap entertainment_____?
to me it's really kinna sad that sports promoters, fans, and participants could sink to this low of a level
and that those responsible for deciding and regulating what is and is not legal in sports would be so lax as to allow this

Paige Van Zant did finally win a 'fight', which is further proof of just how dumb this is.
Its hard to believe that anyone could think this is a real sport. The idea of making it a sport is just a facade and excuse to watch two people seriously injure and humiliate each other.
I don't think that the UFC and MMA fanbase has responded well to it at all. They hold about 5 events per year in venues that hold a couple of hundred fans. Also alot of their social media following on IG, Twitter and YouTube is likely bots and fake accounts.
The thing I am suprised about is the sponsorship deals that PowerSlap is getting. I don't know all the sponsors, but it seems like that is how Dana's Slap league is generating revenue. I'm suprised that any real company with a reputation would attach themselves to something so stupid. I think they are fooled into believing Slap has future growth and success, because it is being pushed by Dana who was able to grow the UFC so much.
