I agree, & the fact that they are selling it as a combat sport. PLEASE, lol, give me a break, this aint no combat sport. where is the defense at if its a combat sport.
One of the worst parts about Slapfighting is that many people who aren’t enveloped in the MMA space think that all fight fans are into it. I’d say the majority of them aren’t, probably because people who watch MMA know how stupid and illogical it is to have a sport where you are REQUIRED to get hit with your chin up and hands down. It gives them the impression that fight fans are just brainless violence fanatics. I don’t see how a commission could ever allow it.
The f'd part is, they ain't even really slapping each other. They're basically using palm strikes. And getting clubbed by the lower half of someone's hand isn't much better than taking a punch.
Honestly the power slap endorsement is wild to me. If they want to expand they should’ve done like ONE championship and ingrained kickboxing like Glory into UFC Events. Then you can have superfights. Like the UFC kickboxing champ vs MMA champ
UFC is a western venture capitalist company, really all they do is try to jump on ANYTHING that will result in them making tonnes of money quickly. Crypto, NFT, fad "sports" like this. As long as it's quick and easy. Making a full kickboxing league is too hard and ultimately won't net as much as monopolising a trend until it dies.
I'm going to say no. And the "can't come back from hitting women" tag goes to Dana, not Ariel. You should watch the show, the fact you go to comments first is very telling. 😆
He’s had Greg hardy on his show and wants Jon Jones on as well while saying Dana should be cancelled. he just has a agenda against the ufc and Dana he’s still bitter from getting banned from the ufc but in reality without Dana and ufc would Ariel still have a job ? Literally the most attention grabbing stuff he can report on is Dana and ufc Ariel knows that and can’t stand it so he finds anyway to discredit Dana and ufc . Any fighter that’s has any little negative to say about ufc he will bring them on his show to try to milk the most Drama out of it, I don’t get how any one is even a fan of Ariel one of the most biased instigator reporter there is with a agenda
Commission: we don't allow 12-6 elbows because we saw a guy in karate break a brick that way. Also commission: we're totally cool with letting one person karate chop another person's face who can't defend themselves or move at all, in the exact same way a karate expert breaks bricks and boards.
@@jakerichmond9624 they break bricks and boards from all ranges of motion dummy, because the target isn't moving and they can more easily generate all their power to a point, like bruce lee's one finger punch. And they usually use the brunt of their palm. You can say that's illegal in slaptard league, and that they only use open palms, but there's a reason people get knocked out so easily doing that. Your just too stupid and too selfish to admit reality, cause you're attention span is so limited that you actually enjoy watching something so shallow and pointlessly destructive. In reality, if you need to protect yourself or your loved ones, you use mma or a weapon or both. You don't challenge them to a slapping contest like robin hood men it tights...slaptards are a reflection of how sick and dumb humanity can be.
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 just checked the ownership group, Endeavor is part of it according to BR. Hunter Campbell too so man, everyone signed off on this. What a shitshow.
Unpopular opinion - grown folks can do what they want to do.. if these guys are mentally competent, and are aware of the risk.. you , me , Ariel , or anybody else really has no business telling them what they can and can't do . You ain't gotta like it, you ain't gotta agree. You ain't gotta watch.. but what you gotta do, is respect the freedom of other people . Society has gotten way too comfortable bossing others around based of their individual feelings .
Just saw one episode and what really stands out is that in the UFC when someone gets KOed they dont show them laying there. Power slap shows you like 6 closeups of them just laying there dead for every KO.
@Chris Dern Well said Chris Dern Observing DC, even when he was a fighter, he has always been a easy one to point out. When noticing how willing he seems to be to go along with the program when it comes to selling out. He is just simply willing to go along with popular main$tream opinion, regardless of what the people think.
I just don’t understand why they didn’t mention khabib as leaving on top, they just said “I’m sure there is others” like what…. Tell me how leaving undefeated is not leaving on top
I would say khabib had a lot of good years left in him, so for that reason I believe it doesn't rank as the best timing. Usman should really think hard about retiring because his knees are gone and he can barely walk, if he wins the belt back go out on top before the body completely gives up on him
Totally agree. It has nothing for actual MMA fans. It’s dumb spectacle. I can only imagine they imagine it will bring in a new dumb audience who then also decide to check out some UFC fights. I will never watch even a second of that slap nonsense.
Need Ariel too cover the current ticket situation for ufc London official early access tickets being sold for over 200 dollars at the cheapest total shame
Ariel, as uncomfortable as the Strickland interviews can be you have to either let these fighters be completely themselves or don't have them on. You gotta keep that standard of having an open, un-biased platform for fighters to speak on.
So grounding and pounding someone is better than SLAPPING someone three times? The UFC fighters get hit 100+ times, get their arms and knees broken dislocated, and choked unconscious but slap fighting is barbaric? These people are not like normal people, they love doing it! That’s the first thing you need to understand. Even the NFL and Hockey are much brutal and physical than slap fighting. As always no one forces anyone to watch, there are 1000 other choices for people not interested.
Its really hard for me to marry the words from Dana White of the past, with a man who would create/promote this slap fight thing. Imagine spending DECADES to educate the public and the commisions about the beauty, skill and sport in MMA. Then immediately, and UNDER the UFC brand, create a thing where people have to exclusively hit an unmoving and undefending opponent in the head. It's a giant step backwards in my opinion.
The first NFLgame i ever watched was Bill's Giants Super Bowl, huge Bill's fan from BC Canada, I love that Ariel is swearing and Finally feeding it to Haters !!!
31:49 - Ariel nailed it here. Whether it's a solo press event or even talking with Helen and Schmo, Sean seems uncomfortable answering straight questions. Lots of "umms" and "IDK" over basic stuff like rankings, matchups, or MMA news.
DUDE!!! When I was in high school there were a couple of other kids selling Bawls and I'd buy one almost every day. That's crazy as hell. I thought they were long out of business. I was in high school from 05-09. That just brought back memories, my guy. I know it's dumb, but little memories like that can make even a pessimistic and stoic guy like me smile. 🙂
I’m surprised Ariel subscribes to the whole “if you never went up or down to another weight class you never challenged yourself” bull. What does that even mean? He’s literally a 15x? World champion lol test himself ? Idk imo beating the number 1 contender 10+ times is way more impressive than getting a belt, immediately getting to challenge another champion and then briefly holding both belts. Still impressive don’t get me wrong, but to say some didn’t challenge themselves because they didn’t go up or down is actually ridiculous when talking about people this talented. I mean the only reason GSP came back for the middle weight belt is because there was a beat up one eyes Bisping. Guaranteed if Rob, izzy, or even Alex P were there at the time he would not have come back.
14:33 Same same. With Formula 1for me since 1984 and Counter-Strike e-sports and the WRC since I was 5 when my best friends dad drive an Escort Mark 2 in rally and Martin Schanche 🇳🇴 Rallycross Champ GOAT
Try being a die-hard Browns fan, probably two or three years older than you. We missed our window from '86-'89 because we ran into Elway during those AFC Championships. At least your Bills have made it to the big show. We still have yet to make an appearance.
@@52baldingindianjanitor72 wasn't talking about employee treatment, was just making the comparison between 2 successful businessman deciding current success isn't enough so acting on their stupidest idea because they can afford to....
The ones who lose the most are the competitors - their brains and their own money for recovery. At least we know it will be THE most competitive sport ever - if you participate in that for 2K I would guess you have had your share of slap fighting up to this point.
It’s one thing to say Dana’s involvement is bad based on what happened, it’s another to speak so condescendingly about something people find interesting. While it’s different and not for everyone, there are people who find it interesting. Go to moist critical’s channel he’s been doing it for YEARS from weird ass underground Russian promotions. At first it was a joke but even I someone who has been a hardcore in boxing and mma for decades now found it interesting. There are character to invest in and matchups that are interesting and strategies etc etc again I know it sounds dumb and I can’t believe I’m defending slap fighting haha but I really dislike ppl thumbing their nose at things pretending it’s beneath them. Who are you to say something is worse than something else? It’s about how invested you get. Same thing happened with me and competitive speed running. Never really understood it and thought it was dumb much like your dismissal of slap fighting only to begrudgingly become hooked once I understood it thanks to Jobst. I still go to moist critical to check up on Vasily haha if you google “vasily slap” I bet you my channel something comes up immediately. There’s a reason for that. Charlie has built the lore accidentally and he’s been a major positive influence on what became genuinely a very interesting sport.
Idk why people are freaking out over slap league. This isn’t bum fights, it’s adults that think they can knock someone out and not get knocked out. If my neighbors want to slap the piss out of each other and someone is going to pay them, what’s the problem?
Ariel I love ya man and I know you’re pressed about the bills choking to burrow. But the “Who Dey” chant comes from an old beer vendor that used to sell inside the old stadium. You’re completely wrong dude. Stick to MMA
Why on earth does Ariel keep pushing Smith as the next title challenger at 205? He's somehow above Ankalaev who finished him 6 months ago? Rakic is also mentioned ahead of Jan despite losing to him in his most recent fight?
Slap fighting was better (relatively speaking) as just a group of people having fun, but when you involve "pros", possibly on steroids, it's crossing a line.
Am I the only one who thinks we need to stop calling someone who hasn’t fought in over 6 years a “current” champion or p4p GOAT? Look, I get Bones Jones has made a HUGE impact with the UFC but people are still talking like he’s been active and that there isn’t a probably of him being smashed. 6 years is a very long time to not fight and I’m not as confident as others when it comes to him walking in and looking like he did more than half a decade ago. Sorry if that triggers the fan boys
How can anyone say that Poirier is next for title when he just had two shots lost both times and has only won one fight since he's last one. Why is it that him Justin and Colby and masvidal all think they can win one fight and they are next it's insane
Ariel’s hate for Dana has made it impossible for Ariel to be unbiased. I understand tho he treated Ariel poorly so like the old saying what gos around comes around. I personally like Ariel and think his mma content better than micheal bisbing and uncle chael. We’ve got some extremely exciting ppvs coming up! Leon vs Kamaru 3, John Jones vs Ghan, Alex vs Israel 4 technically. I’d like to see Alex fight Jamal to become double champ and if that happens Alex vs prohaska will be a interesting!! You never know how the fights will unfold that’s the beauty of the sport and the possibilities are endless!
The legends jon jones fought early one in his career were not in their prime lol stop it ariel check your facts before saying anything. They were all past their prime they were on the dawn slide of their career with many ko loses in their resume and most of them were middleweight whichs 20 pounds smaller than 205. That's why everytime jon jones fought a 205 close to his size he looked terrible or arguably should of lost. Gustafson 1,osp,santos,reyes. Also people like new York ric accusing everyone in ufc that they are on steroid and PEDS injustly and without any prooves just so they can defend your favorite fighter who him self got caught so many many using steroid is so pathetic. It's like accusing everyone that you meet in your day to day life of being criminals just because your best friend got caught by the police doing criminal activity. See how twisted that logic is?
It's such a bad idea. Even a company guy like Anik is talking so negatively about it on his podcast. White may not be as smart as people think. He's the one that came up with the BMF title and was super proud. He is all-in on this slap thing.
If I remember correctly, it was either Nate of Jorge that came up with the idea of a BMF title, not Dana. He just had the belt made and put the fight together.
@@Crijoe no. It was White. He told the story once. In a matchmaking meeting that fight was decided and White proudly says..."Let's make a belt called the BMF!" He told the story with such pride. It was so silly.

Ariel, as uncomfortable as the Strickland interviews can be you have to either let these fighters be completely themselves or don't have them on. You gotta keep that standard of having an open, un-biased platform for fighters to speak on.
30:18 that’s a chat GPT generated question for sure 😂
So grounding and pounding someone is better than SLAPPING someone three times? The UFC fighters get hit 100+ times, get their arms and knees broken dislocated, and choked unconscious but slap fighting is barbaric? These people are not like normal people, they love doing it! That’s the first thing you need to understand. Even the NFL and Hockey are much brutal and physical than slap fighting. As always no one forces anyone to watch, there are 1000 other choices for people not interested.
Slap League is a shocker, it won't see the season out.
It should be illegal. Giving stupid people CTE says something about Dana White
@@timowayne6993 Theyre gonna do it regardless, might as well regulate and sanction it
@@chc2650 Are they though?
Ariel ripping Eli Apple was hilarious 😂
Him not even knowing about him made it better 😂😂
I understand why that wasn't the funnest for ariel to interview sean, but i really thought it was hilarious, i love the character
Its really hard for me to marry the words from Dana White of the past, with a man who would create/promote this slap fight thing. Imagine spending DECADES to educate the public and the commisions about the beauty, skill and sport in MMA. Then immediately, and UNDER the UFC brand, create a thing where people have to exclusively hit an unmoving and undefending opponent in the head. It's a giant step backwards in my opinion.
We love it personally and will watch it as long as it’s on.
MMA guru is the king of you tube
The first NFLgame i ever watched was Bill's Giants Super Bowl, huge Bill's fan from BC Canada, I love that Ariel is swearing and
Finally feeding it to Haters !!!
31:49 - Ariel nailed it here. Whether it's a solo press event or even talking with Helen and Schmo, Sean seems uncomfortable answering straight questions. Lots of "umms" and "IDK" over basic stuff like rankings, matchups, or MMA news.
“I think you rank him” 😂 the greatest resume of all time
He got so worried when he had to twist the top off, I'll be honest I had questions too 😂
DUDE!!! When I was in high school there were a couple of other kids selling Bawls and I'd buy one almost every day. That's crazy as hell. I thought they were long out of business. I was in high school from 05-09. That just brought back memories, my guy. I know it's dumb, but little memories like that can make even a pessimistic and stoic guy like me smile. 🙂
I’m surprised Ariel subscribes to the whole “if you never went up or down to another weight class you never challenged yourself” bull. What does that even mean? He’s literally a 15x? World champion lol test himself ? Idk imo beating the number 1 contender 10+ times is way more impressive than getting a belt, immediately getting to challenge another champion and then briefly holding both belts. Still impressive don’t get me wrong, but to say some didn’t challenge themselves because they didn’t go up or down is actually ridiculous when talking about people this talented.
I mean the only reason GSP came back for the middle weight belt is because there was a beat up one eyes Bisping. Guaranteed if Rob, izzy, or even Alex P were there at the time he would not have come back.
Another hard watch! Nice!
Gc repping the holloway hoodie 🙏the best Is blessed indeed
It’s comical not mentioning Khabib when talking about fighters ending their career at the top
Dana white living in this man’s head rent free all day
It’s very entertaining though how hard he tries to make Dana so evil. Definitely embarrassing but none the less entertaining
14:33 Same same. With Formula 1for me since 1984 and Counter-Strike e-sports and the WRC since I was 5 when my best friends dad drive an Escort Mark 2 in rally and Martin Schanche 🇳🇴 Rallycross Champ GOAT
Try being a die-hard Browns fan, probably two or three years older than you. We missed our window from '86-'89 because we ran into Elway during those AFC Championships. At least your Bills have made it to the big show. We still have yet to make an appearance.
I bet you Ariel’s gonna be reporting on slap bet in the next 2 years.
I agree 100% NY rick seems to be the most unbiased
Ariel i just watched slap fights it was actually pretty good!
I'm so happy that you are a Bills fan,, The Jim Kelly days were awesome! 👏🏁🌴🏁
Dana vs Ariel slap fight international fight week😂
Power Slap "won't last?" It won't even get going. It's DOA. It's an absurd idea by a guy who's already run out of absurd ideas.
Power slap should be called the free haymaker league.
Dana White will need to be a contestant in the Power Slap to last
Against Tito, the fight we never got.
Angry Cursing Heel Ariel is the Ariel we all needed since 2012
Kinda like when Vince Mcmahon tried branching out with his XFL......
No. This is worse.
This is completely different, the UFC is seriously below the bar on how they treat their fighters
@@52baldingindianjanitor72 wasn't talking about employee treatment, was just making the comparison between 2 successful businessman deciding current success isn't enough so acting on their stupidest idea because they can afford to....
8:15 is this the MMA Hour or NFL hour?
You guys titled the video after a 5 minute segment.
The ones who lose the most are the competitors - their brains and their own money for recovery. At least we know it will be THE most competitive sport ever - if you participate in that for 2K I would guess you have had your share of slap fighting up to this point.
It’s one thing to say Dana’s involvement is bad based on what happened, it’s another to speak so condescendingly about something people find interesting. While it’s different and not for everyone, there are people who find it interesting. Go to moist critical’s channel he’s been doing it for YEARS from weird ass underground Russian promotions. At first it was a joke but even I someone who has been a hardcore in boxing and mma for decades now found it interesting. There are character to invest in and matchups that are interesting and strategies etc etc again I know it sounds dumb and I can’t believe I’m defending slap fighting haha but I really dislike ppl thumbing their nose at things pretending it’s beneath them. Who are you to say something is worse than something else? It’s about how invested you get. Same thing happened with me and competitive speed running. Never really understood it and thought it was dumb much like your dismissal of slap fighting only to begrudgingly become hooked once I understood it thanks to Jobst. I still go to moist critical to check up on Vasily haha if you google “vasily slap” I bet you my channel something comes up immediately. There’s a reason for that. Charlie has built the lore accidentally and he’s been a major positive influence on what became genuinely a very interesting sport.
Idk I think it can be pretty entertaining at times.
Hahahah Helwani is a super epic name, this reminds of due date that movie when Ethan Chase went for Chase Tremblay.
Question 8 Ariel finally submitted his own question
😂😂😂
Note to the Buffalo fan: Try being a Jags fan 😂. It hurts but I love my team.
You’re that type Ariel… you are.
Dana White lives rent free in Ariel's head
Idk why people are freaking out over slap league. This isn’t bum fights, it’s adults that think they can knock someone out and not get knocked out. If my neighbors want to slap the piss out of each other and someone is going to pay them, what’s the problem?
Whats funny is Power Slap league is more entertaining and relevant than you'll ever be.
Ariel I love ya man and I know you’re pressed about the bills choking to burrow. But the “Who Dey” chant comes from an old beer vendor that used to sell inside the old stadium. You’re completely wrong dude. Stick to MMA
Why on earth does Ariel keep pushing Smith as the next title challenger at 205? He's somehow above Ankalaev who finished him 6 months ago? Rakic is also mentioned ahead of Jan despite losing to him in his most recent fight?
All the Cheeto pancake talk made me buy Cheetos for the first time in a decade. Not for pancakes, just a snack. 10/10
Bills may do decent but they're not winning the east next year Ariel. I'll bet my life on it
love the channel! salute!
0:03:00 this was the most natural and organic publicity ever
Ari still ducking guru, JJ and DW comparison was a 10-8 but great take on slap fighting. 2 and 2 is mad
I can imagine Dana using a clip of Ariel saying that about slap to brag how it’s still on tv in the near future.
I dont think dana ever says ariels name ever again 😂😂
Wait till kids at school start slapping each other because it takes zero skill.
Slap fighting was better (relatively speaking) as just a group of people having fun, but when you involve "pros", possibly on steroids, it's crossing a line.
1 thing I agree on is the Nevada State Athletic Comission should sanction BKFC. That would be a movement I'd support
This segment is its own podcast LFG
All the gamers from 2005-2011 remember Bawls lol they sold it at fry’s it was delicious
Ariel just said the chiefs haven’t won any big games. Stick to fighting bro, way way way off.
Power slap...hell yeah love it
The MMA media will call for Izzy to get 15 tries against Alex if it takes that many to win, so they can say he’s the GOAT 😂😂😂
Ariel answers your questions. This one from Leira Inawleh: "What are your thoughts on Dana and.....?"
Ariel: take a seat.
Am I the only one who thinks we need to stop calling someone who hasn’t fought in over 6 years a “current” champion or p4p GOAT? Look, I get Bones Jones has made a HUGE impact with the UFC but people are still talking like he’s been active and that there isn’t a probably of him being smashed. 6 years is a very long time to not fight and I’m not as confident as others when it comes to him walking in and looking like he did more than half a decade ago. Sorry if that triggers the fan boys
How can anyone say that Poirier is next for title when he just had two shots lost both times and has only won one fight since he's last one. Why is it that him Justin and Colby and masvidal all think they can win one fight and they are next it's insane
Ariel vs Dana power slap…. End the beef. Let’s get it done
I haven't seen Bawls in years
Ariel leaked Brock Lesnar return at ufc 205 then denied it and constantly attacks Dana white for attention
Dana's NEXT move....Promoting Russian roulette challenges!
Ariel’s hate for Dana has made it impossible for Ariel to be unbiased. I understand tho he treated Ariel poorly so like the old saying what gos around comes around. I personally like Ariel and think his mma content better than micheal bisbing and uncle chael. We’ve got some extremely exciting ppvs coming up! Leon vs Kamaru 3, John Jones vs Ghan, Alex vs Israel 4 technically. I’d like to see Alex fight Jamal to become double champ and if that happens Alex vs prohaska will be a interesting!! You never know how the fights will unfold that’s the beauty of the sport and the possibilities are endless!
In fairness Dana is completely biased when talking about Ariel too.
The legends jon jones fought early one in his career were not in their prime lol stop it ariel check your facts before saying anything.
They were all past their prime they were on the dawn slide of their career with many ko loses in their resume and most of them were middleweight whichs 20 pounds smaller than 205.
That's why everytime jon jones fought a 205 close to his size he looked terrible or arguably should of lost.
Gustafson 1,osp,santos,reyes.
Also people like new York ric accusing everyone in ufc that they are on steroid and PEDS injustly and without any prooves just so they can defend your favorite fighter who him self got caught so many many using steroid is so pathetic.
It's like accusing everyone that you meet in your day to day life of being criminals just because your best friend got caught by the police doing criminal activity.
See how twisted that logic is?
Oh Yes It Will!!!!!!!
A lot of these questions seem like they were written by ariel himself
Dude, I was drinking Bawls when I was 16, I'm 33.
Hello Wani 👋 good video 👍
It's such a bad idea. Even a company guy like Anik is talking so negatively about it on his podcast. White may not be as smart as people think. He's the one that came up with the BMF title and was super proud. He is all-in on this slap thing.
If I remember correctly, it was either Nate of Jorge that came up with the idea of a BMF title, not Dana. He just had the belt made and put the fight together.
@@Crijoe no. It was White. He told the story once. In a matchmaking meeting that fight was decided and White proudly says..."Let's make a belt called the BMF!" He told the story with such pride. It was so silly.
Could you guys stop talking about NFL and NBA in a programme called The MMA hour please?
