Last week, many Americans were introduced to slap fighting and 'Power Slap' the new combat sports outfit backed by the UFC and its lighting-rod president, Dana White. Several sports-medicine experts have since criticized the TBS program. "It is a recipe for brain injury and a recipe for disaster," neuroscientist Chris Nowinski, co-founder and CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, tells TIME.

Most MMA fans agree with this 100% and aren't fans of Power Slap.
I have at least 4 confirmed concussions and one TBI from a motorcycle accident. I cringe everytime I see this shows highlights. I live with constant headaches, fatigue, depression, mood swings ect ect. People don’t understand usually until they are in the same boat.
Hi. May Allah bless you and give you good health. Can you please explain about your TBI recovery process? I have someone had accident and TBI surgery. Can you tell me how fast and well have you recovered? Like your voice? Your walking? You talking? How long it takes to be back normal? Thanks
This is another clear example of human behavior at its lowest level 😔
Someone finally stating the obvious.. at least to those that don’t have brain injuries
This activity is appalling, and should not be continued.
Nah its fine
Voluntarily taking an undefended hit to the head repeatedly…who knew it could be dangerous wtf
I think those who sign up for this, have already lost their sensible brain cells.
Like in the ancient Roman Gladiatorial games ?
Well said 😂
@@funfact8660 Back in those days the gladiators usually didn't have much of a choice, they participated in gladiatorial battles as an alternative to execution, some gladiators even won their freedom after winning a handful of fights. These guys are willfully signing up to receive brain damage, for only a few thousand dollars.
Tbf ive checked out most the people on the show and most are under 500 former MMA fighters, yet again Dana taking advantage of desperate fighters
@@funfact8660 Those who did Gladiatoral games didn't have a choice. Majority of them were slaves.
Please stop this Power Slap . This is no longer a sport. It’s too dangerous.
I’m waiting for power head butting!
I'm waiting for the Running Man TV show
I'm waiting for the return of ancient Roman Gladiatorial combat
Trump 2024, God Willing!
I found the idiots!
@@snyder_fine_art You may want to find the Lord
We are getting closer to Idiocracy
And Dana just slapped his wife 🤦🏻♂️
He put his whole wrist power into it almost as strong as punch, idiotic sport.
I think this might actually be worse than punches from fighting. Boxers can't put 100% in to the shots, hitting a moving target is hard enough but also they'd be spent half way through the first round. Power slap is just one, full power, fully telegraphed hit to the side of the head with no pads on hands. A big slap is a similar action to a kick, it has a lot of power, it's just not used in fighting because it's so easy to defend you'll probably never manage to land one.
I hope this clip goes viral and Dana sees it.
He knows this stuff.
Dana doesn't care.
Dana sees $$$
Becoming more and more like Stephen King's " The Running Man " everyday 🚛🇺🇲
Isn't that the truth, I'd prefer to see ancient Roman Gladiatorial games instead, especially the fighting of wild beasts
Not even close to Running Man. 🤫🤫
@@snyder_fine_art More like Soylent Green perhaps mixed with Rollerball ?
Dana white should be ashamed of himself
Hope this gets more views
Uh ooohhhh, here we go!🙆🏾♂️
Running Man
B*thslap
Sad. Sad. Sad
Running Man
Who ever decided on that background music made this unwatchable, like cmon
Power Slap strikes are a lot harder than punches. It's always a rotation motion, and a slap carries more energy than a punch. It's not that it won't cause a cut, or visible damage, but the energy transfer is much harder and thus brain damage. If these "fighters" are able to remember their names in 20 years, I will be happy for them.
Great
Bring back ancient Roman Gladiatorial games ☑️
👍
To those talking about cobsenting adults blah blah blah: should someone be able to consent to being hunted for sport by people in tanks? How about torture for life? Should we tolerate organizations that sanction this? A large portion of these people who participate for an extended period of time will suffer terrible pain, memory loss, depression, moodswings, and eventually lose all function. It's not an exaggeration to call this torture. By then its too late to change your mind. These people need to be protected from being exploited.
Tyler Durden, sad....
It would be their personal responsibility sadly. They chose to participate. No one forced them to do so. But then I hope they know the risk
Mark my words, these guys are gonna be filing lawsuits and making dramatic sad stories in a few years talking about how powerslap ruined their life. Poor saps don't understand they were warned many times and that there's nothing they can do now, they chose to participate and now have to pay the price.
Wow I didn't think that slapping a person really hard could be dangerous.
Yeah generally anything hitting you in the head at 60mph is bad 😂
This isn't civilised. How you don't about this
Get rid of the background music, please
Men and women were already doing this. It’s just sanctioned now with rules.

I mean as long as it's two consenting adults participating and they are well aware of the risks and consequences...then that's on them...
No. It shouldn’t be.
Running Man TV show
You're saying that because you would rahther eat popcorn and see people slapped than worry about the same influencing others to do that to each other who who will likely not be consenting.
