Ariel is spot on with this. I am not a Dana White hater, i respect alot of what he has done, but Dana has been #HeelDana since New Years Eve & his Power Slap league is a step backwards/kinda pathetic.

The man may have various thoughts, but following the UFC 288 post-fight news conference, Dana declared that the new league was a huge success. Dana drew some significant comparisons to back up the assertion, which led to him receiving harsh criticism from UFC fans.
The 53-year-old MMA guru not only asserted that Power Slap generates more revenue than the NFL and NBA put together, but he also claimed about PSL having sizable social media following. However, statisticians didn’t just sit there and accept what White stated; instead, they investigated deeper and found evidence that Dana was simply making up facts.
