‘Power Slap Will Be Bigger Than UFC’

Dana White continues to oversell the success of Power Slap and just went on record saying the promotion will be bigger than Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in just a few years.

While fight fans expect White to be overzealous about Power Slap and try his best to create buzz around the slap-fight promotion, the UFC CEO had made some wild claims over the years. Whether he’s listing off head-scratching metrics that make zero sense or comparing the organization to the success of UFC, White seems to know no bounds when it comes to promoting his new league.

On Friday, Power Slap 8 went down in Las Vegas and featured the official debut of former UFC contender Paige VanZant. This was a big deal for Power Slap as the promotion continues to try to attract more well-known fighters to compete. VanZant was the first of presumably many that will try their hand at Power Slap. “12 Gauge” ended up putting on a show in a lopsided decision win (highlights HERE).

After the action concluded, White spoke with media members during Power Slap 8’s post-fight press conference (shown above). We’re guessing the event was a successful one because White was more than willing to go on record and state that Power Slap will be bigger than UFC in just a few years.

Check it out below and let us know if White’s statement holds any truth!

“I said this will be the biggest sport in the world. This will be bigger than the UFC.

“This will be bigger than the UFC. Now you can remember I said that. I’ll see you in a few years and we’ll talk again.”
