The Nevada Athletic Commission is set to welcome a new combat sport into its jurisdiction with open arms – and open palms.
After a proposal and presentation by UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell during Tuesday’s monthly meeting, the NAC approved slap fighting a sport to be overseen and regulated by the state.
The discussion lasted approximately 13 minutes and began with a pitch by Campbell, who will serve as part of the primary ownership group for Dana White’s Power Slap League, along with UFC president Dana White, Zuffa founders Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, UFC ownership group Endeavor, longtime “The Ultimate Fighter” producer Craig Piligian, and other investors.
