The pair lock horns in a women's bantamweight bout under slap-fighting rules over three rounds. It ranks among the most high-profile contests on the card, almost entirely due to VanZant.

VanZant is a multi-sport, who has competed as a mixed martial artist, bare-knuckle boxer, professional boxer, and even spent some time as a professional wrestler. Now, she is taking a swing at slap-fighting. This card, however, isn't her first stint under the Power Slap banner.

VanZant previously debuted at Power Slap 8, having a successful outing against South Africa's Christine Wolmarans. Now, she faces a newcomer, in both a sporting and promotional sense, as Dodson has never competed in Power Slap or slap-fighting at all.

Due to her recent success at Power Slap 8, VanZant is regarded as a -250 favorite by the oddsmakers at BetUS, while Dodson is a +175 underdog.
