UFC President Dana White is putting his money and the resources of one of the world’s foremost mixed martial arts organizations into making the Power Slap League a success
to cut down on blows to the head by changing rules regarding tackling and other hits. CTE can only be detected during an autopsy.
White said he realized there could be a market for the sport in the U.S. when he clocked the millions of YouTube views of slap fighting videos from eastern Europe in 2017 and 2018. The videos were often poorly produced, the slap matches unregulated. White became convinced that fights with written rules and shot with professional video equipment could convert many internet viewers into dedicated, paying fans.
Power Slap fights are typically three to five rounds. The fighters take turns hitting each other in the face with an open hand, and those on the receiving end stand with their hands behind their backs. A fighter has up to 60 seconds to recover and respond after receiving a blow. Fighters can earn up to 10 points based on the effectiveness of the slap and the defender’s reaction.
"You can slip punches,” Nowinski said. But in slap fighting “you’re taking out everything that’s interesting to watch and everything sporting and just doing the brain damage part.”
