@@nobodysfavourite6953 dude had his berserker skill on. You seriously got to watch the epic battle of titans this match was
😂😂 I watched the entire video. He won after being slapped at least 30 times. He fought more than once that night. According to the comments, the guy is extremely humble, and he comes from a small village in Romania. It turns out everyone depends on him.
He desperately needs to find a Power Up
😂
This "sport" is a great example of what a terrible idea looks like
don't call it a sport
Literally why men die from stupid/dumb shit
@@momomono795 he didn’t
@@momomono795 he clearly put it in quotations lol, meaning he doesn't think it's a sport but that's what other people call it
Very entertaining tho one of the most legendary slap match ever surely would go down in in slap history
It’s not really slapping either. It’s an open palm haymaker right to the face. Thrown by big men with full rotation and speed. And you’re not allowed *per the rules* to defend yourself by blocking, dodging, deflecting etc. This isn’t going to end well. It literally is the dumbest thing I have seen in sports ever.
Yes. Literally no different than hooks or any difference between their forces is minute enough to be negligible. The audacity to call these slaps and undermining the intelligence of the viewers of mma/ufc
Yup exactly. From what I've read, a trained fighter throwing an open palm strike can hit with around 80% of the force of a punch. So they're taking massive hits to the head with zero protection, just a terrible idea.
Even in the ridiculous video where Dana White is explaining the rules, he says how "you can't lead with the palm of your hand" and then the only 2 examples shown are literally slaps where they're leading with the palm of their hand.
As per the "Entertainment industry" it doesn't matter if the it may harm the players as long as it "Entertains" people and it generates tons of money 💰
Yeah this is dumb 😆
“Life is hard, it’s harder when you’re stupid.” John Wayne.
My grandma references and laughs at that quote all the time😅🤜🤛
john wayne the cowboy ? The Cowboy actor?
😂😂😂 classic
Combat sports: "Protect yourself at all times or we will literally stop the contest and declare you the loser." Slap and forth: "Stay still and let this other person wind up to hit you as hard as they can" Same Athletic Commissions allowing both of these, I can't help but wonder what steps were taken behind the scenes to get the ACs to contradict themselves on athlete safety to this degree. I hope there are investigations.
What steps are taken? It's called Dana White bribing the commissions like he always does. That's the quiet part out loud for you.
Wow, that hit hard
@@thatguyfromak5190 dumb take. You’re assuming
How about just going to "slap hammering" where you plough your defenseless opponent in the head with a sledge hammer? Or maybe just a modified Russian Roulette with all six chambers loaded but with a load just enough to cause permanent brain damage instead of killing you?
@@labcabinsandiego7839 then what else the reason that not dumb to you besides that?

I've always thought the slap fighting is a little silly. At least in boxing/MMA you have the opportunity to protect yourself.
Just makes no sense how this can be a sport. Its beyond stupid.
that pretty much what this dude pointed out and they wanna make this sport Legit😶🌫
martial arts is a beautiful thing. Idk wtf this shit is 😂
@@guitarcovers5437 honestly i was up for it till this dude pointed out how stupid it was that they were pretty much taking unprotected shots to the face lol
@@snakekingblues3017 Well exactly. Imagine in the UFC before Francis left if he was allowed to throw his hardest 1 punch at someone leaving their face and head completely still and unprotected. At least in Boxing/MMA the fighters get a chance to protect themselves and are wearing gloves that distribute the damage rather than just getting smashed repeatedly in the same spots undefended with a bare hand lol
Anybody that has talked back to their mom can relate to this guy.

Thank you, Brian. You truly are an inspiration. We love you
Great video as always Dr. Sutterer! While your information and insight about the facial nerve is absolutely correct, I don't think this is the case here. There is always a possibility of facial nerve trauma caused from hits to the face like this, but after watching the video it's unlikely that this is the reason why his face is droopy. In the post fight interview, the fighter appears to be still blinking on his left side (something he would not be able to do with facial nerve damage). It's also hard to tell if the left side lip muscles are actually working or if it's just his right side mouth pulling them up when he talks so damage to the buccal or mandibular division of the facial nerve is a possibility, but in my professional opinion (dentist here), I believe it's just a MASSIVE hematoma.
if you look at him now, he is swelling a lot less, but still droopy. I guess he did get some nerve damage: kzhead.info/sun/o8aFksWNamRrhps/bejne.html
I was wondering the same. If he just had a giant hematoma that was weighing down his face
I have facial nerve damage and can blink and fully close my eye
"Yeah I stand there and let a guy clobber me in the face with a huge haymaker slap, I'm an athlete. It's a sport."
This isn't a sport. This is a competition. It is a stupidity competition and maybe even a toughness competition, but it isn't a sport. No ability needed just some ridiculous tolerance.
@@semi6544 he's joking, I think
@@danieleromonsele -- I was up too late when I wrote this originally. I can see it was a joke now.
@@semi6544 It is functionally a sport. It's an organised athletic activity between two people with standardised rules - it's a stupid activity but like.... those things aren't mutually exclusive.
@@blue-pi2kt -- I think you misunderstand where I'm coming from with my statement. I am fundamentally challenging the athletic requirement to call it a sport. Is bowling a sport or is it a competition? Is chess a sport or a competition? Is NASCAR a sport or a competition? Is Golf a sport or a competition? I believe NASCAR and Golf are sports. I believe chess and bowling are competitions. I believe slapping is a competition. The only requirement is to have hands that can move horizontally through the air which is a lower requirement than what bowling takes. Yes, there is a greater requirement to win, but the requirement to participate is very minimal. Toughness and willingness are a greater requirement than any athletic ability.
thank you for raising awareness about this .
This is the definition of “the juice is not worth the squeeze”.
He also refused to go to the hospital after the whole event. He just thinks hes fine...and the prize was just 5000euros. I mean come on
Didn’t have enough money to get medical help….. that’s why he probably declined heavily
If it's anything to do with dc that competitor probably owes him
If you've stopped anyone considering entering this spectacle, Dr. Brian, then we'll done, sir! Love your videos! What's next, the eye poke league?!

@@SoulDelSol LMFAO
Great and informative video as always. Thank you Doc! You’re the real mvp!
Last time my face was swollen like that it was due to a cavity in my tooth that got infected and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. I couldn’t chew food, drink, or even speak without pain.
I had my 4 wisdom teeth surgically removed my jaw was more swollen and both cheeks but not my temples!! Ouch!
I was super curious about this. Thanks 😀

They’re trying to slap the stupid right out of each other. I can’t believe how different he looked before the “fight”.
Instead, they're doing the exact opposite, slapping more stupid into each other.

Daygo 😎
Dana White: > keeps fighters broke so he can use their economic desperation as leverage > therefore he crushes any fighter unionization attempts > doesn't provide adequate health insurance to the fighters he's exploiting So obviously he'd willingly back a "sport" like slap boxing knowing the consequences. He doesn't see people for anything other than cash cows. There is nothing unique about Dana either. All CEOs do this. Yes, even at YOUR workplace. Unionize, guys :)
Love this channel human body’s are amazing
This is fascinating content. Great video, thank you!
Great vid! Thx
dude had his face tenderized
Unless he were to come out and say "I don't really care about the people competing in Power Slap as much as I care about UFC fighters," which would be a disturbing message of its own...after following through with Power Slap I just don't get how Dana White could ever try to claim that he takes the topic of brain trauma seriously. Clearly he's okay with people taking repeated and defenseless strikes to the head if there's enough money involved.
Don’t he got enough money to do something else
He literally got his mouth slapped to the other side of his face 😂
The minute I seen this I knew you’d drop a video
This made me respect my parents more back in the day
These nerve branches are what got massively inflamed when I had Shingles a few years ago on the left side of my face. Crazy swelling, drooping, ungodly pain. I had lingering pain for months and have scarring from all the blisters. Luckily I didn't lose my hearing or eyesight.
Shingles is the worst pain. Sharp and painful. Pain reliever only lasts for 2 to 3 hours. And yeah, scarring sucks and it will take years to be gone. Good for you the nerves in your eyes didnt got affected.
@@chronicle_4 they had go check them they were worried it might have spread. Luckily they didn't, but it was my entire left side, my ear/canal, up beyond my hairline.
Thanks dr i posted these videos a couple days on fb
today we look back at things we did a hundred years ago that were just so unnecessary and dangerous but a hundred years from now we will probably be looking back at slap fighting in a very similar way
Dude slapped the bell's palsy out of that guy🤣🤣🤣
I miss when slap fighting was a niche thing people who didn't actually train to fight did. Dana White is going to get people crippled or even killed by giving this mainstream press and okays from commissions. People can do whatever they want but this should have never been cleared by actual "experts".
It still is a niche thing. It’s not featured on ESPN or anything lol
I can’t imagine the rage this guy felt, I cry with anger when a foot ball hits me in the face.
Thank you sharing
I'm not just worried about the guy's face, it's the fact that he's definitely gonna get stroke on very high scale of probability. Seeing my late dad gets Hemorrhagic stroke in 2017 brings me back the memories of how he used to be athetic and active before that tragic event. The guy should've just tapped out judging by his reaction to brain concussion
And the worst part is he only won like 5000€ which is like 5500$?
@@shubceee correct, totally useless price
All that damage and potential life threatening injuries for bragging rights and a few bucks that will probably have to be used toward medical bills.
Wow you have accomplished so much !! Your kids must be proud!!! Make sure you enter the left hand slap maches to even out your face !!!
The premise of the sport is: who can receive the most pain without quitting. Very nuanced
No wonder he kept going, his brain's been knocked off its hinges
The stupidity of humanity doesn't cease to amaze me.
A Video abou Russell Gage would be awesome that was scary All the best from Austria big fan
The before and after was funny asf 😂😂
I'm not a doctor, and I would have told people the exact same thing. How anyone could invest, let alone participate in this, is beyond me. Stupidity is truly one of the wonders of this world.
I can't believe Nevada sanctioned Slap fighting but won't sanction Bare Knuckle Boxing. Guess it's not about injury but how much money is behind the promotion
Id really like to see your take on the less aggressive forms of this, dana whites version ignores alot of rules such as stepping and clubbing which are there to avoid some injury
Please cover what Mikey Musumeci did to Bayanduuren Gantumur’s knee in One Championship! He twisted his knee like a pretzel.
Never let someone put a hold on you. Never let someone slap you at full force without any measure of defense. It's a 100% offense sport, which in itself is stupid. Like letting two basketball players cross each other up and seeing which one bows out from embarassment first.
Pansy
Never under any circumstance underestimate the power of stupidity.
"one of the most ridiculous sports I've ever seen." Thank you for that!!
This happened for $5000 Makes my heart break.
Not mine. Nobody forces them to get face , nerve and possibly early onset brain damage for 5k.

Hi I'm at work right now but I was just wondering if you did a video on the Chicago bears player who got folded in half a couple years ago. I will search for it after work but if you haven't done it, that would be interesting
Yes I did
@@BrianSuttererMD I kind of figured that you were going to say that you did that's awesome I'll check that video out after I get out of work
Kinda wished you went a little bit more in-depth about how slapping is, especially in this situation is a lot more damaging than people thin
I think these guys all had some sort of previous brain trauma BEFORE starting this league. But hey, job security!!
This is like a signature injury for SlapFighting. "Slapfighter's Drool" they'll call it.
well, that's not terrifying
Just saw the full fight. Man this guy got some mental fortitude for the lack of fear of death. The thing is this clip is highly edited and when you watch the full fight you may have a different medical analysis
Is the facial nerve also the one affected by Bell's Palsy? Or is that different?
yes
Bro was fighting not just to win, but for his whole village, and to end his family's poverty and sufferings. He knew he had only one option, to win. The other guy got tears in his eyes cuz he knew if he didn't stop, then he would probably damage this guy's brain. And so as a matter of honor, he backed out cuz that person didn't even got half the damage as this man got... Both legends!!!
Truly the end of civilization
@@kenster67100 Over a stupid combat "sport"? Bro, senseless combat/violence for spectacle has been around forever. We have more important things to worry about.

Anyone else remember when “slap fighting” meant you slapped each other’s hands? Over under or side to side?
Where I’m from, a slap fight was a non-serious fight with no fists or grappling. 5.5 times out of 10 it would eventually elevate into an actual rumble tho…
@@ooinvsaoo same but where I'm from we called it "slap boxing" So yeah a fight but instead of punches people threw slaps

Thanks!
My daughter is deaf and is always being asked about her cochlear implant. She was implanted when she was 3, 15 years ago and is very open to answer any questions. I've always taught her to be a great self advocate, and freely share her experience and never feel shame for others' curiosity, because when they know, they can share the information, too. It would be cool if you did a video on how the actual surgery works, as that's the most popular subject when parents ask me about it. Most folks don't understand how invasive the surgery is, its risks, and how complex the internal equipment actually is. Love your vids!
He's going to come off extremely sarcastic but I'm being 100% serious there are a bunch of doctors on KZhead you should find the one that does surgery videos not the one that does sports videos. They each have their specialties for a reason each degree is different. The doctor helping you overcome a sports injury is not going to be the same doctor doing any sort of surgery on your head
It takes a lot of courage, bravery, and raw skill to be at the breaking edge of an upcoming sport. A lot of people won't understand the complex training and research that goes into becoming a refined slap artist. That is what I refer to these brave legends, they are artists unlike anyone has seen from our time and anyone will see for futures to come. Embrace, sit back, and enjoy the show.
Ye some people don't understand what it means to be a fighter to put one's life on the line for a dream at being the best and fighting the best with skill, perseverance and cunning. Also leaving behind a legacy of all his achievement.
Courage, bravery and .......... stupidity
I can’t really enjoy the show knowing what I know now
@@outdoorscholar6016 What do you know now? did something happen?
It also takes stupidity....I sure these "trailblazers" will be remembered and statue erected in their honor a few years from now. While they are handicapped somewhere and broke
I saw this video and thought about the doctor's opinion and bam the video appeared on my feed.
can't believe dana and the ufc are promoting this bs
but im not surprised
Right tho like this shit not funny nor entertaining. It’s just simply dumb and dangerous asf. He need to stop this shit
I do agree that their are alot of dangers with this slap league but honestly this is the same as when MMA first started out. They said it was nothing but savagery now look at. In my opinion it's probably going to blow up just like MMA and it's not Dana whites fault. The people (us) are the ones that decide if this thrives or not and ,as whole ,we like to see this kind of thing. Boxing, karate,MMA, hell world star street fights we tune in to it all and help it grow. Unfortunately I don't think this will be any different
Yeah, so how would you propose altering the rules to make it safe without making it something completely different than what it currently is? Oh, I know, Dana White's genius brain will figure it out. Uh, no. MMA modifications were basic common sense that maintained the essence of the sport while reducing risks by getting rid of some excesses. How exactly does that work here? This "sport" has as much skill built into it as taking a dump on the toilet. I mean, a literal pissing contest would involve more skill than what is demonstrated in this event.
Bro, it's not the same. Slap fighters can't defend themselves from hits. They just have to say there and take them.
The difference being with this, they are not allowed to protect themselves. In MMA, the fight is called if you cannot defend yourself. This will never be viewed in the same lens as MMA because of this and I'd put money on the commissions changing their minds on this in the next few years.
The requirements for MMA have changed. Padded gloving. I don't follow slap fighting. Is the winner the one who doesn't get knocked out? Or maybe the winner knocks the most people out?
Or it will contribute to the loss of popularity just as stunt brawls, tough man competitions, etc. helped with the downfall of boxing’s popularity after it’s boom in the 80s. Granted part of the problem back then was the Butterbeans and Alaska Tough Guy spectacles got aired instead of good boxing with limited viewing options while there are more viewing outlets today, but overall press coverage and association, even if tangential,, doesn’t help. Similar with the celebrity youtube boxing spectacles - that stuff hasn’t built a lasting fan base in the past while turning potential fans away. We’ll see this time around.
I’ve gotten the piss slapped out of me before and it’s humiliating but this?? this is soul crushing
I agree with you 💯 I am not a doctor but I have seen many times when a slap fighter has gotten hit hard on the carded artery and have been knocked out from it. You would think if this kept happening over a few times it could cause a lot of damage or maybe even a stroke. I just can't understand why people do such stupid things
The other half of his face was like "I'ma head out"
As soon as I saw the man's swollen face I thought it was MMA fight. 😮😮😮
