Dana White’s Power Slap 6 event took place in Las Vegas on Friday night, and it was a star-studded affair. While the Super Bowl may have been the talk of the town, the Power Slap event had some of the biggest names in the world in attendance, including Tom Brady and Travis Scott.
The event, held at the Durango Resort, marked a significant milestone for the young organization as it was the first event held outside of the UFC’s own Apex center. With stars like Charles Barkley, Pat McAfee, Johnny Manziel, Taylor Lewan, Bert Kreischer, IShowSpeed, and billionaire Michael Rubin also in attendance, it was clear that the event was a hit.
Dana White, the man behind the event, expressed his excitement about the night. “This is the first time ever selling tickets. We sold VIP packages. It was a good night,” White said with a smile on his face.
The main event of the evening was a highly anticipated matchup between Manny Muniz and Christopher Thomas. White revealed that he was particularly looking forward to this fight, as Muniz had never been knocked out, while Thomas had a reputation for knocking out his opponents. In the end, Manny emerged victorious with a knockout in the fifth round.
UFC legend Chuck Liddell was also present at the event, but he made it clear that he was there as a spectator and not planning a comeback. Another notable attendee was Jax Taylor, former star of “Vanderpump Rules,” who revealed how he became a fan of slap-fighting.
Taylor explained that he first saw highlights of the sport on Instagram and reached out to Power Slap. This led to an invitation from Dana White himself, and Taylor couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the sport. “It’s one thing to sit and watch it. I can’t stop watching. It’s the most barbaric, awesome thing I have ever seen in my life,” he said. “It’s amazing. I’m obsessed with it!”
Overall, Dana White’s Power Slap 6 event was a huge success, attracting some of the biggest stars in the world and showcasing thrilling slap-fighting action. As the event continues to gain popularity, it’s clear that it has found a passionate following among both celebrities and fans alike.
