Frank Lamicella doubles down in the wake of criticism after last week's debut.
Power Slap made its official debut last week on TBS.
UFC staples Dana White, former CEO Lorenzo Fertitta, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell, and television producer Craig Piligian are attempting to introduce a new sport to the masses in slap fighting. Naturally, there are valid concerns and critiques, particularly surrounding potential long-term health risks for the competitors.
Paving new terrain for the sport is Power Slap president Frank Lamicella. He is overseeing all daily operations—which began with getting the sport regulated—and also includes the growth of the sport and the safety of its fighters.
