Dana White aims to bring a new combat sport to Nevada soon
The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) has given the green light to Dana White's Power Slap league, paving the way for 'slap fighting' to be regulated under the jurisdiction of the state of Nevada. The NSAC also regulates the UFC.
In an October interview, the UFC president spoke about the new sport, claiming that he plans to move towards the regulation to establish clear-cut rules and make sure that all medical precautions are taken at all times. Defending against criticism of attempting to bring slap fighting into mainstream combat sports, White stated:
"The bottom line is, if you watch a boxing match, guys get hit with three to four hundred punches in a fight. These guys are going to get hit with three slaps. The Athletic Commission did the right thing."
