UFC president Dana White is attempting to build a new sport.
Introducing slap-fighting into the mainstream through Power Slap is White’s objective. On the surface, that seems unrealistic. But White has made a career out of accomplishing the impossible.
Hours before the Power Slap 2 event, White spoke with Sports Illustrated and offered a glimpse into how and why he promotes fights. He also shared his excitement for all things Power Slap, touched on the most pressing UFC issues surrounding Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, and detailed the departure of Francis Ngannou.
