“Stupidest shit I’ve ever seen” Ex-UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub scoffs at Dana White’s power slap league

Following his successful tenure as president of MMA’s biggest promotion, the UFC, Dana White launched his new venture, the Power Slap League, but the Nevada State Athletic Commission will be closely monitoring the show.

The show was scheduled to premiere on January 11, but due to Dana White’s controversy surrounding women beating, the league was postponed a week, and after the premiere, it drew harsh criticism from some martial arts admirers.

Former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub called the show the dumbest shit ever, and even he claimed it wasn’t entertaining at all.

“Look at the Slap Fight League. This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. The fact that it’s associated with the UFC throws the sport back 10 years. All in all it’s entertaining. Anyone wanna bet it won’t be there in a year?”

A Harvard Ph.D. Neuroscientist and former wrestler Chris Nowinski even condemned the UFC president and told him to be ashamed of this inhumane show.

“This is so sad. Note the fencing stance at the first brain injury. He may never be the same. @danawhite & @TBSNetwork should be ashamed. Pure exploitation. What’s next, ‘Who can survive a stabbing?’

Ben Fowlkes said there should be no PPV for the Power Slap League and the person who will pay for the PPV is a psychopath.

“Anyone who would pay real money to watch a slap fight PPV is not making money or happiness.”

However, the UFC President has an explanation for these comments. The American millionaire clarified that there will always be an appropriate medical facility, which he believes people are unaware of, and will enlighten fans.

“We are spending the money to ensure we have two healthy people there and receive proper medical care during and after the fight. These are all things that we need to educate people about, just like we need to educate people about mixed martial arts.”
