December 21, 2023 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The league creation of Power Slap, where people willingly slap one another in hopes of not being concussed so they can do the same, became a reality in 2023. Zuffa’s cache with networks gave it the ability to put this debacle on the air with the hopes (no one admits out loud) that it would […]
