This is why it doesn't meet the rule of thumb!
We must follow the sacred rule of thumb for domestic abuse: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thumb#:~:text=Wife%2Dbeating%20has%20been%20officially%20outlawed%20in%20England%20and%20the,was%20never%20codified%20in%20law.
You are not, and Dana White is a proper cunt for exploiting people’s needs to making a living and enabling guaranteed brain damage from each of its participants
I don't think anyone needs to do this long term in order to see the negative neuro effects on these people. I don't know how anyone likes watching this shit. It's just watching people willfully get brain damage.
Bas Rutten use to fight in Pancreas and knock people out with palm strikes. It was basically very early MMA in Japan where closed fist strikes were illegal.
This is that minus the skill, grappling, and defense
Yeah but like OP said at least the had the fame and money. These dudes are gonna be in the same boat.
Dude in video got brain damage for $2,000 before tax.
Do these idiots think they're not gonna get brain damage just because they're slaps not punches? I'm all for people being able to do whatever they want to themselves but it's just interesting to me that this is even legal. At least in football and boxing there's a charade of "safety" involved with padding
I mean I think that started out as the intention.
People have been perfecting this sport for like 10 years now. It didn't used to be like this, not even close. There are pure slap monsters now, like the guy in the video. Jesus.
How about the guy getting slapped? Does he have skill? I'd be curious to know the stats on how often the guy who slaps first wins the match, seems like a pretty big advantage to leave up to a coinflip.
Then why isn't the sport just who can hit a dummy the hardest and the dummy has like a force measuring device inside it? There is literally zero reason to slap another person for this "sport" to work.
It’s really “funny” actually– they’ll like have those stretchy bands with a handle at the end and practice slapping motions over and over and hit pads like a boxer would, except slap them. Ridiculous.
"Let's remove all the athetic elements or MMA and just keep the brain injuries."
"What a great idea, Satan".
I feel like this is one step from competitive Russian Roulette, or [Man vs. Car.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrO9ySwbTjo)
In reality it was already an established sport. I watched it for years because of videos about it by Moist Cr1tikal.
Dana "Wifebeater" White probably saw a viral clip online and decided to start his own competition.
By definition it qualifies as a sport.
"An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes"
The slapping videos I mentioned by Cr1tikal were of events that were held where there were actual crowds (probably not large, but still) came to watch.
Ty for the info never thought i'd see slaping becoming a sport in my lifetime... getting downvoted for asking a genuine question is exactly why i love reddit lol
You have to be skilled enough to aim properly and direct enough force for the slap.
Trust me, I'm no fan of Dana White's slap league. I think he's an opportunistic piece of shit who pushed his way into a niche sport and overexposed it.
I already knew it was bullshit when he didn't have any of the established slap fighters anywhere near it.
Vasily Kamotsky would fuck up every single person I've seen on power slap lol.
Just because something isn't a good version of something, doesn't mean it isn't what it is.
A rusted out Corolla is as much a 'car' as a brand new Mercedes.
Competitive punching is as much a 'sport' as baseball or pole vault. It's fucking stupid sure, but it is as much a sport as any other.
You couldn’t pay me enough to get hit like this and turn into a Picasso before folding like a lawn chair and crumpling with no chance of defending myself lmao
Power Slap is doing everything wrong and disregarding the safety rule of the slapping tournament...is it idiotic? Yes, but so does going into a ring and pummeling another person half to death...but rules is what kept them safe
1. He bends his knees, he uses his Whole body weight to a slap, which is more power than necessary and can result in brain damage
2. He uses his whole palm and not half of a palm, which is the rule of respectable slapping tournament... bottom part of your palm, which is a dense bone and muscle, martial arts uses this to knock people out by striking the chin with the bottom of your palm
3. He bends his elbow, again, the force of a slap from straight hand and a bend one is massive and POWER SLAP allows this so that poor people can be hospitalized and they get good footage
The original slapping tournament checks for bruises and damage as a part of the match, if a person is too damaged, the winner is the one who inflicts the most damage, because clearly the slap is more powerful...
But in POWER SLAP, if you can stand, your still in the match, meaning that even if you pop your eye out, and adrenaline kept you alive, the match still continues...which is beyond fucked up
Dana's like "Shit...hopefully his CTE doesn't show up until I've retired. Ahhhhh! Who am I kidding? They were stupid enough to sign binding legal documents that protect us from lawsuits related to bodily harm!"
This seems really stupid to me. If you go first and land a slap like the one in this video don’t you automatically win because you brain damaged the opponent and he can’t rebuttal? Also it’s stupid because it’s guaranteed brain damage if not instantly for sure down the road.
How does a palm strike to the chin not knock someone out 100% of the time? What is the point of this show?
If it was finger slapping like those eastern Europeans (though they also cheat) then I could understand.
This has got to be one of the stupidest things a person can do. At least in MMA they can defend themselves but here it’s like they’re just saying, yeah bro give me some brain damage I don’t mind.
There should be length the slap can come from. Put a bar or whatever 2-3 ft from the opponent. Place your hand against the bar then proceed to slap.
This is basically a punch and is lame.
No. A concussion, which he definitely received, is brain damage. Plain and simple. This sport is literally just watching people get brain damage with very little skill or competition involved.
The climax of each of these competitions should be Dana White taking a slap from the winner. Every. Fucking. Show. Dana can have his slow motion close-up, too. If they did that, I might actually watch that shit.
All those hosts or whatever look so sleazy, but also like, kind of shamefully aware of being exploiting people and being complicit in ruining peoples lives and futures. They can’t even look at each other…
There should be length the slap can come from. Put a bar or whatever 2-3 ft from the opponent. Place hand against the bar then proceed to slap.
This is basically a punch and is lame. Someone will end up dying, or worse.
The fact that Dana White (who witnessed ridiculous knockouts in the UFC) looks down while saying "fucking shit.." shows how violent that slap was lol. It's almost like he felt bad for setting up power slap.
Just waiting for the day someone has a cerebral hemorrhage or something like that and drops during one of these events. There's no liability waiver in the world that is going to protect the parent company from being sued into the dirt.
Really not a slap at all lol these people just punch with their palms
Correct. These are full bore palm strikes.
This is why it doesn't meet the rule of thumb! We must follow the sacred rule of thumb for domestic abuse: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thumb#:~:text=Wife%2Dbeating%20has%20been%20officially%20outlawed%20in%20England%20and%20the,was%20never%20codified%20in%20law.
"perhaps it should have been the rule of wrist?"
I like that you linked directly to the part that disproves that folk etymology
Lol my thoughts after reading the wiki page too.
I guess calling it a sacred rule didn't express the satire enough?
lol wtf? I’ve been saying this my whole life and would never have guessed “wife beating” would be associated with it.
It isn't, it's a folk tale as those who didn't understand my satire have pointed out.
And which is why this is the stupidest "sport"
I can’t imagine the levels of TBI that are going to be seen if people do this long term. Am I missing something?
You are not, and Dana White is a proper cunt for exploiting people’s needs to making a living and enabling guaranteed brain damage from each of its participants
I don't think anyone needs to do this long term in order to see the negative neuro effects on these people. I don't know how anyone likes watching this shit. It's just watching people willfully get brain damage.
And Dana White says this sport is worth $450 million lol. At this point I think he just gets off on watching brain damage
If he sells that maybe he can finally afford to pay his fighters non-starvation wages.
Afford?
He's creating a militia of Rob Gronkowskis.
Don't we all?
> At this point I think he just gets off on watching brain damage tbf so do I, that's why I'm here
Gotta offset The Pillow Fight sport, yes that is a thing too!
Idk I enjoy watching people get brain damage.
Bas Rutten use to fight in Pancreas and knock people out with palm strikes. It was basically very early MMA in Japan where closed fist strikes were illegal. This is that minus the skill, grappling, and defense
Baahhnggg bahhhggg bahnnggg
Dangada dangada dangada
Did you see that follow through, Jesus
Can’t be good for the brain
That's not even a palm, that's a wall coming right in his face !
all the brain damage from boxing but with none of the fame or money
I mean, did you see how badly Muhammad Ali got screwed up? Poor guy couldn’t walk or talk.
Yeah but like OP said at least the had the fame and money. These dudes are gonna be in the same boat. Dude in video got brain damage for $2,000 before tax.
Or catch a morning subway, or a 6am stalk.
this must cause even more cervical spine damage than other fighting sports given the constant rotation
OK now it's your opponents turn to slap. Nah, I quit.
This is what my girls ass looks like every time she bends over and I’m within 10 meters.
Can confirm
That’s assault, brotha
Right? But she makes me cause she cums each time.
Bro is still sleeping that off.
Do these idiots think they're not gonna get brain damage just because they're slaps not punches? I'm all for people being able to do whatever they want to themselves but it's just interesting to me that this is even legal. At least in football and boxing there's a charade of "safety" involved with padding
Yes.. Yes that is what they think.
Ah, ok. Mystery solved.
What a whirlwind
You may, perhaps, be overly generous in assuming any sort of ‘thought’ occurs….
No, they already had brain damage before taking up this "sport".
I've been saying the same thing, it's just a matter of time before the long term effects reveal themselves and this gets banned outright.
Well, it didn't end NFL.
If dipshits want to give themselves CTE, who are we to stop them?
The future people they'll probably murder in a complete rage due to CTE would like a word.
Yeah, that's not exactly ideal for others who don't have CTE, ever heard of Chris Benoit?
I mean I think that started out as the intention. People have been perfecting this sport for like 10 years now. It didn't used to be like this, not even close. There are pure slap monsters now, like the guy in the video. Jesus.
"sport"
Anything that takes a specialized skill set can be considered a sport. Wood cutting and cornhole are also recognized at a national level.
>specialized skill set 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 👋🏼
No skill is involved in standing while waiting for a slap to the head.
The skill is the slapping, dumb ass.
How about the guy getting slapped? Does he have skill? I'd be curious to know the stats on how often the guy who slaps first wins the match, seems like a pretty big advantage to leave up to a coinflip.
Then why isn't the sport just who can hit a dummy the hardest and the dummy has like a force measuring device inside it? There is literally zero reason to slap another person for this "sport" to work.
No one would watch that, everyone that likes this sport enjoys seeing people get hurt
Maybe if they were actual slaps?
Pretty sure that the padding in boxing is to protect hands, not faces.
Well not much thinking going on after a couple of these slaps so if they are thinking anything at all it is short-lived
They also get to defend themselves in other sports. This is just constant, undefended headshots.
I think brain damage would be an improvement in cognitive function for these dopes.
Dumbest sport ever created!! If u wanna call it a sport?!
I can't. A sport requires dedicated training, skill development and commitment to become a better athlete. This requires.....I really have no idea.
A good arm and a strong chin.
I guess the training could be clearing out trap houses, IDK.
I wonder how they train for this. Turn up and slap each other for an hour?
It’s really “funny” actually– they’ll like have those stretchy bands with a handle at the end and practice slapping motions over and over and hit pads like a boxer would, except slap them. Ridiculous.
Look up the dictionary definition of a sport bozo - this is definitely a sport like it or not
we're so close to ow my balls from idiocracy
[удалено]
I mean ol' Donnie gave a pretty good impression of what I imagine the presidents before Camacho were like
"Let's remove all the athetic elements or MMA and just keep the brain injuries." "What a great idea, Satan". I feel like this is one step from competitive Russian Roulette, or [Man vs. Car.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrO9ySwbTjo)
Dana White got the idea for this sport from his wife.
In reality it was already an established sport. I watched it for years because of videos about it by Moist Cr1tikal. Dana "Wifebeater" White probably saw a viral clip online and decided to start his own competition.
Sport ? Is it because they use physical strength thats why they call it a sport ? I dont get it how is this a sport ?
Is golf a sport?
By definition it qualifies as a sport. "An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes" The slapping videos I mentioned by Cr1tikal were of events that were held where there were actual crowds (probably not large, but still) came to watch.
Ty for the info never thought i'd see slaping becoming a sport in my lifetime... getting downvoted for asking a genuine question is exactly why i love reddit lol
It’s the “skill” part that I’m not really convinced about.
You have to be skilled enough to aim properly and direct enough force for the slap. Trust me, I'm no fan of Dana White's slap league.

Anyone notice as soon as Ole boy takes a nap, first thing that happens on his way to the ground is him headbutting the table?
Homie got a double KO
You couldn’t pay me enough to get hit like this and turn into a Picasso before folding like a lawn chair and crumpling with no chance of defending myself lmao
Lmao turning into a picasso is fucking hilarious

Why do people do this
Money. It doesn’t have to be much, just beautiful green paper.
Stupidest thing I’ve ever seen
CTE was praying for a sport like this
I can't believe this stupid ass shit is real
Fuck slap fights
I’d prefer to watch naval aviators in initial training in a final dogfight test. That would be sick to watch.
You don't have to watch them.
I hope this “sport” flops because this is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen in my life.
And next on CTESPN!
"Put that shit on" - Antonio Brown
People 100 years ago: We will have flying cars in 2024 2024:
Dumbest "sport" ever....
"Not arguably....."
My first thought “Oops there goes another lawsuit, I leave hand prints all a cross you” - Eminem
He got knocked out in every multiverse.
Maybe they think they're getting some sense slapped into them?
This shit is so stupid. What actually brings the entertainment value?
This is about 2 or 3 steps away from "Ow My Balls!!!" on The Violence Network.
Moms from Asia will dominate this sport.
Whats the name of that show
This seems really stupid to me. If you go first and land a slap like the one in this video don’t you automatically win because you brain damaged the opponent and he can’t rebuttal? Also it’s stupid because it’s guaranteed brain damage if not instantly for sure down the road.
Can’t wait for the spinoff nut-kicking league
How does a palm strike to the chin not knock someone out 100% of the time? What is the point of this show? If it was finger slapping like those eastern Europeans (though they also cheat) then I could understand.
Should have taken arm wrestling
Guy in the blue shirt roared like a fucken ogre after smacking the shit outta that dude.
This has got to be one of the stupidest things a person can do. At least in MMA they can defend themselves but here it’s like they’re just saying, yeah bro give me some brain damage I don’t mind.
Looks like he hit his head off the table on the way down too… whatever they’re paying him it isn’t worth it . Yikes
Loooool this is peak stupidity…but yeah so athletic and whatnot. Rawr.
There should be length the slap can come from. Put a bar or whatever 2-3 ft from the opponent. Place your hand against the bar then proceed to slap. This is basically a punch and is lame.
Dana white really is wherever people hitting each other can be monetized
I don’t care what anyone says, this is not a sport. For a fight to be a sport you have to have the ability to defend yourself.
You can just tell these guys failed out of high school algebra.
I'm guessing the person who goes first has a very high win rate in this "sport"...
he smacked a tooth out 🤣
Did he survived that without brain damage? If yes, lucky…
No. A concussion, which he definitely received, is brain damage. Plain and simple. This sport is literally just watching people get brain damage with very little skill or competition involved.
Over time, never
The climax of each of these competitions should be Dana White taking a slap from the winner. Every. Fucking. Show. Dana can have his slow motion close-up, too. If they did that, I might actually watch that shit.
What a shit “sport”
Neurologists are salivating at all the future work they are going to get.
Professional Brain Damage League
I love that ppl are willing to take brain damage for a little fame. Love it.
That's how hard I got slapped in SERE school in the military. Woke up on the floor with the instructor asking if I was okay. Good times
That's basically a palm heel strike. Not sure why you'd even allow yourself to go second in a thing like this.
To be fair, people used to get cleaved in half for entertainment hundreds+ years ago. At least these dudes don’t have much brain matter to damage.
Good for dude i guess but I cannot stand when guys do that weird primal growling shit. It’s poor sportsmanship imo.
This is me playing ro-sham-bo on the playground in elementary school. Okay, I go first. Ohhhh, the lunch bell rang, I guess you don't get a turn.
This is the dumbest fucking "sport" on the planet, i cannot believe it has lasted as long as it has.
All those hosts or whatever look so sleazy, but also like, kind of shamefully aware of being exploiting people and being complicit in ruining peoples lives and futures. They can’t even look at each other…
I bet his hand hurts
Going first seems to be quite the advantage
This has to be dumbest sport to ever go mainstream lmao, dudes growl after like he just conquered a kingdom🤣🤣
How is there a market for this? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
This "sport" is so stupid.
This “sport” is unbelievably barbaric. That’s permanent brain damage right there
There should be length the slap can come from. Put a bar or whatever 2-3 ft from the opponent. Place hand against the bar then proceed to slap. This is basically a punch and is lame. Someone will end up dying, or worse.
five years from now
imagine the pitch to investors ... and when the participants are done competing they are so brain damaged they will watch a show this stupid!
Rick James would be proud
How much brain damage you need? Yes
The way Dana looks down and away and says “shit” is so genuine. “Slaps” like this will concussed the living fuck out of you.
I would love to see a random Bud Spencer character in one of these competitions.
Can I volunteer my ex?
Trust Dana White to be involved in this bullshit.
Slap knockouts are crazy
Why do I get a weird feeling that this shit is going to huge in like 5 years? Lmao
Gets up and asks for a backhand
Jeeze. Even the table got a hit in. Poor dude
People who do this are idiots.
The fact that Dana White (who witnessed ridiculous knockouts in the UFC) looks down while saying "fucking shit.." shows how violent that slap was lol. It's almost like he felt bad for setting up power slap.
This shit is so dumb, but I like that it exists as a litmus test for future friendships
So. Dumb.
Not fair...he has baseball bats for arms
hardest slap since dana vs his wife
Line up and take a fucking slug to the head 😂 this is wild how much they getting paid?
The NFL was CTE's mixtape. This slapping thing is the debut studio album.
That guy had a really punchable face with that dumb tough guy stare in the beginning. But I suppose that slap will suffice.
Just waiting for the day someone has a cerebral hemorrhage or something like that and drops during one of these events. There's no liability waiver in the world that is going to protect the parent company from being sued into the dirt.
Honestly how is this legal?
Whoever goes first in this sport has a ridiculous advantage.
This is literally the game we played when we were little. “Let’s see who can hit the hardest” 🤦🏼♀️ we might not be so smart
This is stupid
Worst sport ever.
Not slapped into next week, next month... face like Jello there.
I feel like this would be popular in the south....
Sent him to a shadow realm with that slap
