An LLC managed by UFC president Dana White, UFC COO Lawrence Epstein, “The Ultimate Fighter” producer Craig Piligian and former UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta took one step closer to staging slap fighting events at the UFC Apex in Nevada.
On Tuesday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission, following a presentation from UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell, voted to regulate and oversee the activities of a promotion called “Dana White’s Power Slap League.”
In its simplest terms, slap fighting features two individuals standing across from each other and taking open-handed slaps to the jaw until one of them can’t continue.
