As we know, Power Slap has been a real passion project for UFC president Dana White over the course of the last few years. He has been instrumental in trying to grow the sport, even though it still divides opinion more often than not. With that being said, it does seem like there’s a certain level of intrigue involved in the whole thing.

Power Slap 11 heats up

Between the tough shots and the taunting, these two men really went at it over the course of five rounds. Ultimately, though, on two of the judges’ scorecards, it was Russian Dumpling who overcame Da Crazy Hawaiian by winning four rounds out of the five.

Is this going to be enough to turn around the general public opinion of the sport? Probably not. Still, for those who do enjoy it, this was certainly one to enjoy.
