Introduction of Power Slap and Paige VanZant
UFC President Dana White has confirmed that Paige VanZant, former UFC fighter and current OnlyFans star, will be joining his new venture, Power Slap. This controversial organization involves competitors taking turns to slap each other as hard as possible without defending themselves.
Power Slap’s Popularity and Criticism
Despite receiving heavy criticism due to its nature, Power Slap has garnered significant attention and engagement on social media. White asserts that the organization is outperforming other major sports leagues in terms of online views, including the NFL and NBA. The addition of VanZant, known for her popularity and large following, is expected to boost these numbers further.
