A wronged UFC boss? Slapped is said to be a target of criticism only because of him

Dana White decided to make slapping popular and, above all, professional. So he founded the Power Slap League. However, he faces huge criticism and society is definitely not united in its opinion of this “sport”. On the contrary. And it’s all because of the UFC boss.

The UFC boss has faced criticism in recent months for several reasons. More and more often the conditions of the fighters in the UFC are being addressed, then there was the scandal when Dana White slapped his wife, and then the slapping league under the brand Power Slap started.

It was in the slapping that White found great favour. He wants to make the sport as professional, popular and visible as possible. He’s trying to provide the best possible medical care for the tournament participants.

But slapping itself has many critics. Doctors don’t like it, experts don’t like it and a large number of star fighters don’t like it either. Even those in the UFC. For example, Oktagon promoter Ondrej Novotny is very critical.

White, however, is now behaving in an extremely relational manner and cannot accept that his project might not be a significant success. And since he is often mentioned in the media, he assumes that the criticism towards the faction is due to his person.

It’s worth noting, for example, that Islam Makhachev, the UFC champion, has criticized White for being more dedicated to promoting the faction than just promoting the UFC. After all, the star MMA organization also promotes Power Slap on its social media.

White subsequently took a rather harsh swipe at Makhachev. And his toxicity continues. “Everything negative that is said about the slap is an attack on me. It is me who is being attacked. Not the slapped one,” BJPenn.com quotes him as saying.

“I noticed the slap in 2017, it was hugely followed but nowhere was it written how horrible it was. It’sonly happening now and it’s only now that it’s seen as a tragedy that should be stopped,” White added.
