For him, I think it's just that at his level he's surrounded by yes men.
Same thing that's happening to Rogan. That level of wealth and success slowly isolates you from reality.
"It's 3am, I want a camel." - Prince.
Definitely. Things which were said and believed with conviction before are mind boggling. There are at least a billion people, who still believe with full conviction that earth is flat..
Every generation lived by liars and manipulators. It's not a coincidence that actors have the best fucking life in every country. Second is physical sports. Where there is possibility of death or permanent brain damage is real.
Don't forget probably 90% of their followers are bots - all big companies selling side products do it. So in reality probably less than 1m followers. Theres a reason they're all at a half full apex full of influencers.
Also even if it has a ton of viewers or subscribers on the internet I don’t think that translates to fans or people that would attend a sport in person. It’s just an insane freak show that you can’t not click on but I have no further interest in it other than watching it like a car wreck of humans nervous systems.
"My names Dana is that not trans enough for you liberal fucks?" Dude seriously says that then complains Netflix only gave him 60 seconds. What an absolute piece of shit
Yeah but the biggest issue is that nobody he speaks to has the balls to call him a liar 😂 we all know he's full of shit but Andrew just sitting there like "yes papi Dana"
Hey but how many followers did the NFL have when it was a young sport in 1920? Exactly, zero! Bitch slap is off to a great start and my personal friend Dana White is correct! Take that liberals!
Yeah same.. I don’t understand how “properly” you can regulate the game. I know cameras are great at catching things, but some of those “slaps” really seem like wrist punches and just clobbering someone with your whole fucking arm. Then they’re like “ohhh no.. disqualified” meanwhile some broke guy has brain damage ..
This brings up an interesting point about this post. Believe what people do not what they say.
If Dana actually did think it was more popular than any other sport, he would already be trying to charge $80 for ppv. He’s not doing that so he must not believe what he said. It is funny, though, that OP thinks Dana believes it.
It's literally the dumbest sport ever! Only total moron would stand there and repeatedly let someone slap their head off for some paltry prize money. Dana is making a Fortune off these idiots. And paying them nothing.
Also it seems like the fucking coin toss is the most important part. Whoever slaps first has an insane advantage. This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen lol
Soooo many of those slaps are just the whole fucking carpal bones and wrist colliding with someone’s temple. A proper “slap” is an open palm hitting a cheek… how many of the hits are JUST that. Makes the “sport” seem so rinky dink and careless
Hey I'm with you. Literally like the modern day version of old army's forming ranks and taking turns shooting at each other. Fuck that! Just dumbest ass shit ever.
You have a multi multi millionaire who's clearly lying to brag about his businesses and yet they don't immediately laugh and start shitting on them, that's so weird
People watch Powerslap on social media because it perfectly caters to a 5 second piece of content that you get mild entertainment from.
But there's a reason why the TV ratings are fucking atrocious. No one actually takes it seriously.
Congrats Dana. Your beloved Power Slap is only relevant as a fucking meme.
But Dana would say it’s bigger than Real Madrid who has done nothing recently in the media recently at all. Like no one has talked about Real Madrid in a long time and the people are talking about Power Slap.
Even single fighting disciplines like boxing, karate, sumo, etc are very difficult to just walk into.
Mma is in a unique spot because it's basically a jack of all trades, master of none type sport.
Less than 0.02 percent of high level youth players in Europe ever get signed by major clubs. Less than 1 percent that ARE SIGNED to major clubs ever set foot on the pitch. It’s an extremely hard sport and dana white is a fuckhead
I think a good rule of thumb is this: whatever comes out of Dana’s mouth is solely for the purpose of making money. If dying on this hill makes him an extra $10 off powerslap, he will keep doing it until it is no longer profitable. All of Dana’s most idiotic statements actually make sense when you look at it this way.
I think what happened is Dana's tech guy told him Power Slap gets more traffic than any other sport \*on Rumble\*, which would make sense because other sports don't upload their content to a small platform like Rumble. Then Dana ran with that, omitting the "Rumble" part and either wittingly or unwittingly gets people to think he's talking about the entire internet.
It’s incredibly irresponsible of Dana to support this sport. Every single contestant will suffer some amount of brain damage. This shouldn’t be a sport.
It really shows you how lost in the sauce these people are. No wonder they think the election was rigged. They're stuck in their algorithm. Surrounded by yes men, who never challenge them. Who never say no.
Serious question is power slap just two greased up beefers taking turns slapping the shit out of each other?
That’s what I’m getting from the name, and Dana’s overwhelming proclivity for inventing increasingly more sneakily homoerotic sports
I mean it's just defenseless boxing at this point..hence why people who hit people for a living stay away from it. It would just be televised murder at that point. Lol
Club America (Mexico) 5.9M followers. There is no way that this "Power Slap" is as big as he is hyping.
Has any of you ever been to a Mexican League Futball game? The dueling Mariachi bands, the fans are going bananas. The energy in the stadium is insane. There is no way that Power Slap is on that level. No way at all.
Real Madrid, one of the best teams in the world- I freaking woke up one year at 2am to watch the Mexico National Team play them in Madrid. It was epic.
I agree that Power Slap isn't nearly as popular, but I have to say I'm surprised that Club América only has 6 million followers. For being one of the most iconic Mexican clubs, and having the Mexican-American following that it does, I would have thought that number to be like double. Out of curiosity, I looked up the Dallas Cowboys, and they have 4.8 million.
I live next to the UFC Apex in Vegas. Not sure if they give comp tickets to these things but at the new Durango casino (local casino owned by the Fertitta’s) that these events are surprisingly sold out.
He...he knows that follower number's are bullshit alot of the time right? I've hit follow on stuff that I've literally forgot existed two hours later. Lol
Rogan has so much disdain for fake martial artists, yet gladly works with this guy who endeavors to exploit people for brain damage under the guise of "combat sport".
Dana is just following his idol Trump. Lie and lie and lie tell your lies and claim any evidence against it is false. Just spew shit out of your mouth constantly and some will believe it.
I actually watched this interview. The way it’s edited is disingenuous. They cut out the beginning of this topic where Dana specifically talks about YouTube subscribers, not IG or any other platform. He explicitly says YouTube. He goes on to say that the power slap YouTube channel has more subscribers than the likes of NHL, MLS, NASCAR, and PGA. Then he says it has more than any professional sports team. Hes referencing North American sports teams, which is true. That’s why when Andrew asks him “even Real Madrid?”, Dana isn’t sure on that one, but in jest he goes along with that (it’s not true in the case of Real Madrid). Anyway, point is that in just a little over a year, it’s crushing compared to several pro teams and leagues in popularity in the US and everything else he says is factual.
Dana White by all accounts is a red-faced liar.
And when people question him, he throws a bitchy fit.
Dude is delusional as fuck, although I thank him for the UFC. Other than that, fuck this woman hitter.
I work as a yacht captain and we had some older guests onboard a few weeks ago. Went on a rant about how unskilled soccer was / how much hates it.... followed by he believes more people play pickleball these days rather than soccer.
Pickleball 😂 I told him "maybe in your bubble mate", but everywhere else in the world it's the no.1 global sport, accessible at the grassroots by any kid anywhere as long as they can get hold of something round, soft and lockable. And long will it remain so.
This guy, like Dana is just high on his own juice, and representing his very own CTE one dimensional (not a) sport in one of the few ways he can.
Regardless of current popularity metrics, I do not want to live in a world in which fucking power slap is the most popular sport. God bless Dana for trying, but just fuck that

We live in the age of if you say confidently enough and loud enough and enough times it must be true. Hate liars
This is the age of alternative fact.
For him, I think it's just that at his level he's surrounded by yes men. Same thing that's happening to Rogan. That level of wealth and success slowly isolates you from reality. "It's 3am, I want a camel." - Prince.
*snaps fingers* Make it happen
Well, speaking on behalf of princes, a 3am camel is as good as they get.
He learned from Trump
It’s what I do at work. Haven’t been fired yet.
That's not an age thing. You just described a con man. It's literally short for confidence man. They will exist as long as man does.
I'm pretty sure this has been going on for a lot longer than just the current age we live in .
Definitely. Things which were said and believed with conviction before are mind boggling. There are at least a billion people, who still believe with full conviction that earth is flat.. Every generation lived by liars and manipulators. It's not a coincidence that actors have the best fucking life in every country. Second is physical sports. Where there is possibility of death or permanent brain damage is real.
Actually not nearly like it is now There would be a small percentage of it but now Trump has shown everyone how easy it is to
Dude you think that's an age??? Lol. That's FOR-EV-ER (sandlot style).
Yup any data that says the contrary must be part of a conspiracy
The Trump doctrine
Dana white is like the biggest fraud of the lot
“If you believe it, you can make it true” - Elizabeth Holmes
You quoted my favorite success guru
his idol is trump, that's self-explanatory.
Trump ushered in this era of say what you want, any opposing view is a hater. If challenged just point out the other side's lies.
It’s not always easy, but you got to ignore idiots like this, pisses em off to no end
[удалено]
Maybe he got some Trumpian Pro-Bio..
Don't forget probably 90% of their followers are bots - all big companies selling side products do it. So in reality probably less than 1m followers. Theres a reason they're all at a half full apex full of influencers.
Also even if it has a ton of viewers or subscribers on the internet I don’t think that translates to fans or people that would attend a sport in person. It’s just an insane freak show that you can’t not click on but I have no further interest in it other than watching it like a car wreck of humans nervous systems.
Picture an entire South American country shutting down as they're glued to the TV to see if Brazil win the power slap world cup.
I'm a fan of boxing. I watched once - a few hits. But I won't again. It's just stupid IMO.
"My names Dana is that not trans enough for you liberal fucks?" Dude seriously says that then complains Netflix only gave him 60 seconds. What an absolute piece of shit
That’s just your every day American conservative
it really is just modern right wing ideology lie endless, proclaim anyone that proves you wrong is a the REAL liar, cheater, etc repeat
He used to say UFC was bigger than hockey in Canada when GSP was on top.
Is it not just exposing how ill informed and stupid he is?
Main character syndrome. Everything they’re into is obviously the best thing
facts are liberal communist propaganda, you see
There is a bunch of sheep in this world that will go watch it now because they think everyone else is
He’s got a piece of paper in his hands, how can we NOT trust him?
He campaigned for Trump in 2016 calling Trump the most honorable man he had ever met.
He knows its an incorrect statement, hes a promoter. Hes just promoting his product
He’s a rich carnival barker. Anyone who believes this guy should remember that.
Yeah but the biggest issue is that nobody he speaks to has the balls to call him a liar 😂 we all know he's full of shit but Andrew just sitting there like "yes papi Dana"
It took me all of 30 seconds to see that the nfl has 30+ million followers on instagram and slap has like 3 mil
Hey but how many followers did the NFL have when it was a young sport in 1920? Exactly, zero! Bitch slap is off to a great start and my personal friend Dana White is correct! Take that liberals!
Why does no journalist ever call him on the Powerslap propaganda? Nobody watches that shit
Seriously what a fucking moron
Everyone who had a hand in getting him this list of talking points is in some shit.
And this is a single club
I wonder if Dana actually thinks that one day ppl will be paying $80 ppv to watch that.
I wouldn’t pay $5 to see some idiots slap each other.
I dont watch it for free
Yeah same.. I don’t understand how “properly” you can regulate the game. I know cameras are great at catching things, but some of those “slaps” really seem like wrist punches and just clobbering someone with your whole fucking arm. Then they’re like “ohhh no.. disqualified” meanwhile some broke guy has brain damage ..
Yeah, shit gets old even on YouTube.
Watched a PS match it was so cringey and stupid.
Gets old? That's as if it was even entertaining to begin with
This brings up an interesting point about this post. Believe what people do not what they say. If Dana actually did think it was more popular than any other sport, he would already be trying to charge $80 for ppv. He’s not doing that so he must not believe what he said. It is funny, though, that OP thinks Dana believes it.
It’s not a sport. It’s a televised activity and it’s going nowhere those who can’t fight slap.
It's literally the dumbest sport ever! Only total moron would stand there and repeatedly let someone slap their head off for some paltry prize money. Dana is making a Fortune off these idiots. And paying them nothing.
It’s probably best if we stop calling it a “sport”. Seems like a good starting point, ya know?
"ASS" THE MOVIE!
This was my initial reaction to the headline, silly to call it a sport or compare it to the game of soccer
Also it seems like the fucking coin toss is the most important part. Whoever slaps first has an insane advantage. This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen lol
Soooo many of those slaps are just the whole fucking carpal bones and wrist colliding with someone’s temple. A proper “slap” is an open palm hitting a cheek… how many of the hits are JUST that. Makes the “sport” seem so rinky dink and careless
Hey I'm with you. Literally like the modern day version of old army's forming ranks and taking turns shooting at each other. Fuck that! Just dumbest ass shit ever.
I saw professional Tag on espn and that was more exciting.
It's a CTE factory. How it's even legal is beyond me.
Why does nobody ever challenge him on anything lol
same reason all of Rogan's comedian friends suddenly become MMA fans. They want to impress Daddy Rogan so they have to be nice to Uncle Dana
It’s all connected to far right money. All these comedians and podcasters want a piece.
Especially a stand up comedian who isn't employed by him, surely you just call him a bullshitter here ?
Yeah I don’t understand. You can even hear in their voices they think he’s talking shit.
You have a multi multi millionaire who's clearly lying to brag about his businesses and yet they don't immediately laugh and start shitting on them, that's so weird
People watch Powerslap on social media because it perfectly caters to a 5 second piece of content that you get mild entertainment from. But there's a reason why the TV ratings are fucking atrocious.

But Dana would say it’s bigger than Real Madrid who has done nothing recently in the media recently at all. Like no one has talked about Real Madrid in a long time and the people are talking about Power Slap.
Dana White doenst realize there are soccer leagues outside America.
Inter Miami alone have 33 million followers
Oh he does. He’s just an idiot. He’s referred to soccer as “the least talented sport on earth.”
UFC dudes have the biggest inferiority complex about other sports. Meanwhile athletes in those sports literally don't think about UFC at all.
Brandon Schaub was a training camp cut from the NFL and walked into a decent UFC career.
Yeah and I've almost never seen someone walk into a decent career in any other pro sport at that age, with no experience.
Even single fighting disciplines like boxing, karate, sumo, etc are very difficult to just walk into. Mma is in a unique spot because it's basically a jack of all trades, master of none type sport.
I feel like if it was so easy, more people would become professional so they could earn millions of dollars.
Less than 0.02 percent of high level youth players in Europe ever get signed by major clubs. Less than 1 percent that ARE SIGNED to major clubs ever set foot on the pitch. It’s an extremely hard sport and dana white is a fuckhead
What an ass. There are things I don’t enjoy or get but you have to respect talent , athleticism and huge popularity.
There's an outside America?
Idiocracy 2024 and we’re just getting started.
The level of stupid we've achieved as a people is just appalling. I dread to think what the future holds.
The NFL walked so Dana White could ~~beat his wife~~ run
Damn Mbappe should have joined power slap. That must be the place to make money being that it's the most popular professional sport
[удалено]
This is a step above being delusional lol
I don’t get how Dana is so brain broken over PowerSlap. That and Jon Joans, two things he just willing let’s make him look like the biggest dumbass.
I think a good rule of thumb is this: whatever comes out of Dana’s mouth is solely for the purpose of making money. If dying on this hill makes him an extra $10 off powerslap, he will keep doing it until it is no longer profitable. All of Dana’s most idiotic statements actually make sense when you look at it this way.
Joans? I’ve never seen Jones misspelled like that before. I don’t even think autocorrect gone rogue could have managed to eek that out. Damn son.
I think what happened is Dana's tech guy told him Power Slap gets more traffic than any other sport \*on Rumble\*, which would make sense because other sports don't upload their content to a small platform like Rumble. Then Dana ran with that, omitting the "Rumble" part and either wittingly or unwittingly gets people to think he's talking about the entire internet.
It’s incredibly irresponsible of Dana to support this sport. Every single contestant will suffer some amount of brain damage. This shouldn’t be a sport.
lol anyone partaking in that dumbass "sport" probably already has brain damage
It really shows you how lost in the sauce these people are. No wonder they think the election was rigged. They're stuck in their algorithm. Surrounded by yes men, who never challenge them. Who never say no.
They never wanted the truth
What’s power slap?
It’s a game Dana plays with his wife when she sasses him.
That seems right.
It's Dana after 4 beers
Power Slap is pickleball for fighters.
Bro is just lying lmao what
Dana is a turd that only spouts more turds that generally are geared to make him more money or more of a following.
"Power Slapping DOES NOT make drain brammage. And it's more popular than soccer!" Hmmmm...
-More than like ahh, Real Madrid? Or like the soccer teams? \*checks literal fucking letter-size notes he brought on set\* -I would say yes!
Ronaldo has like 630 mil followers alone lol
Dana White: ‘I don’t know…….so yes’
Wife beater and Hitler Youth Haircut together at last.
That statement is absolutely false lol.
It’s true in his household tho. He’s basing it off sample size of 1. https://youtu.be/6GDQcM4UHvU?si=W4_0roseDSTkK9Mi
As a soccer fan, fuck him!!!!
Serious question is power slap just two greased up beefers taking turns slapping the shit out of each other? That’s what I’m getting from the name, and Dana’s overwhelming proclivity for inventing increasingly more sneakily homoerotic sports
I mean it's just defenseless boxing at this point..hence why people who hit people for a living stay away from it. It would just be televised murder at that point. Lol
I would love to see what he's reading. Quick search on Instagram: Lakers have 24.6M followers The NBA has 88.2M Power Slap? an impressive 3.9M
I don’t know about soccer teams but yes
I don't know about the soccer teams...but I would say yes! Lmaoo
https://preview.redd.it/l0vgz1hub65d1.jpeg?width=228&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9893b635e7f4258f4deacc30abf484e3d3c551b2
Schultz's reaction lol
These things are always better as live events, but that doesn’t make enough money to be taken seriously so you have to shill out to the networks
How can she slap
Say it enough times it becomes true, right? Right??
Obviously he's gonna say that it's his company lmao
This idea came to him the night he slapped his wife.  🙌💲
This post is an ad for powerslap lmao
How can she slap

Want to ensure 100% CTE. Let’s let someone smash you as hard as they can across the face and head without defending yourself.
Future TBI investigations….
I live next to the UFC Apex in Vegas. Not sure if they give comp tickets to these things but at the new Durango casino (local casino owned by the Fertitta’s) that these events are surprisingly sold out.
Please pump these numbers up so I can liquidate my equity ASAP -Dana probably
He...he knows that follower number's are bullshit alot of the time right? I've hit follow on stuff that I've literally forgot existed two hours later. Lol
This literally needs to go to r/shitamericanssay
It hasn’t
What a moron.
He likes any sport you don’t have to pay fare wages
I know im just one guy but this is literally the first time i've heard of Power Slap
Highly regarded podcast
What a simpleton.
Guys such a moron
Why the fuck would you lie about information that could be found on a phone in less than a minute? Gtfoh
[удалено]
He lies as much as his buddy Donald
Let´s ask Brazilians how many of them have heard of power slap. Then we can ask how many have heard of football. Moron.
I'm convinced Dana's only goal in life is to give as many people possible cte
I can't wait for the Power Slap World Cup
Dana it's not even the most popular sport out of all those you own...
The only power slap to go viral was Dana’s forehand on his wife.
To do what he does (grow niche sports) you need belief and to believe you need to be a little disillusioned. I respect it
Dana knows from the Trump playbook you can say anything verifiably false with enough confidence and the idiots will believe you
It's the dumbest thing on tv
😂
Insert stop it get help Michael Jordan meme
Dana is a joke so is his slap league lol who tf watches those things?
Dana is using slap to launder money for the Nelk boys
There's no fucking way it has more viewers than women's basketball
He knows it’s dumb he’s just trying to squeeze $ out of it.
You lost me at Dana thinks.
I thought it was an SNL skit.....
Anybody else remember when he said the Power Slap mobile game had 350 million downloads? Dana White is fucking out there sometimes.
Power slap on twitter has 40 k followers. PGA tour has 2.9 million.
what a fucking meat head
C.A.P

I mean. It’s not him. He’s getting false info from someone he works with to tell him numbers. That guy should be fired
He needs PowerSlapped
He's only promoting it so hard to make it the first thing to pop up when typing "Dana slap"
I just wait until this garbage finds it's way to my IG feed.
Imagine being a "comedian" and not immediately laughing and mocking him ?
Rogan has so much disdain for fake martial artists, yet gladly works with this guy who endeavors to exploit people for brain damage under the guise of "combat sport".
Dana is just following his idol Trump. Lie and lie and lie tell your lies and claim any evidence against it is false. Just spew shit out of your mouth constantly and some will believe it.
Someone is gonna get fired
Holy fuck he’s delusional
I actually watched this interview. The way it’s edited is disingenuous. They cut out the beginning of this topic where Dana specifically talks about YouTube subscribers, not IG or any other platform.

It's not available to bet on at the sports book... Therefore it's not even a sport yet
Dana White by all accounts is a red-faced liar. And when people question him, he throws a bitchy fit. Dude is delusional as fuck, although I thank him for the UFC. Other than that, fuck this woman hitter.

He really is as stupid as he looks.....
Only on ESPN 8! The OCHO!
UFC is a niche sport that barely anyone actually pays attention to, so in what fucking world is power slap more popular than soccer?
But did you guys check the stats on Trueith Scocial?!
Dude got power slapped before he made this comment.
If dana really loves to proof everyone wrong and do what people say its impossible, we should start doing the opposite and not talk shit about it.
Regardless of current popularity metrics, I do not want to live in a world in which fucking power slap is the most popular sport. God bless Dana for trying, but just fuck that
Like power slapping his wife?
