Dana White continues to oversell the success of Power Slap and just went on record saying the promotion will be bigger than Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in just a few years.
While fight fans expect White to be overzealous about Power Slap and try his best to create buzz around the slap-fight promotion, the UFC CEO had made some wild claims over the years. Whether he’s listing off head-scratching metrics that make zero sense or comparing the organization to the success of UFC, White seems to know no bounds when it comes to promoting his new league.
On Friday, Power Slap 8 went down in Las Vegas and featured the official debut of former UFC contender Paige VanZant. This was a big deal for Power Slap as the promotion continues to try to attract more well-known fighters to compete. VanZant was the first of presumably many that will try their hand at Power Slap. “12 Gauge” ended up putting on a show in a lopsided decision win (highlights HERE).
After the action concluded, White spoke with media members during Power Slap 8’s post-fight press conference (shown above). We’re guessing the event was a successful one because White was more than willing to go on record and state that Power Slap will be bigger than UFC in just a few years.

“I said this will be the biggest sport in the world. This will be bigger than the UFC.
“This will be bigger than the UFC. Now you can remember I said that. I’ll see you in a few years and we’ll talk again.”

Dana thinks because a few 10 second social media clips got millions of views it’s gonna be the biggest sport of all time. Delusional.

I can’t stand Dana anymore.
He completely jumped the shark years ago.
I’m sure the TKO board loves him saying shit like this.

They finally acquired Dumpling!
Yeah, he doesn’t seem to recognize there are different kinds of attention. Positive/negative. Casual/devoted.
A car crash video can get 10 million views. But no one wants car crashes to happen, nor do people want to pay money to see them.

Cmon. He’s a promoter. He’s going to…….promote. Expected behavior
I think there’s a line of diminishing returns with hyperbolic promoting and he crossed that ages ago.
People want to be sold stuff but they don’t want to be treated like complete morons.

I can see the future now, Dana with a walker, using a hearing aid, at the slapper house, telling the slappers, "this is not just about making money and banging broads, at the end of the day, the question is do you want to be a fucking slapper?

I don’t even see what Dana gets out of this. It’s like he somehow got bored of MMA fights so he decided to go hang out with social media influencers half his age and put on CTE fights with all the people who are either too old or too fat to make it into the UFC.

Rich people love to pump their ego’s by making more $. He saw this online called Lorenzo to partner up and here we are. He wants to be the smartest man in the room seeing what no one else but him saw. That’s the gist of it.

Dana hasn’t reached that line yet. He’s been promoting with the same hyperbolic style since the beginning of his time at the UFC and has gotten HUGE results. Exponentially, wild beyond belief results.

Sociopath Dana would make car crashing a sport if thought it could make him money.
