[@Pluto-qw4gg]

Fire back all he wants. Power slapping is a joke and it's tanking. Worse than WWE. Dana needs to admit he got it wrong. Getting the UFC right has gone to his head. He was in the right place, right time and happened to be friends with multi millionaires.

[@gsp3428]

You are spot on, he hit the jackpot with the UFC, had the right billionare investors, he has done a brilliant job with promotion, but it boggles my mind how he thinks something so dumb can succeed. Dana doesnt think Soccer is a sport, and here he is promoting power slap stupidity. Because you did well with one, doesnt mean everything you do turns to Gold.

[@SleeplessSpecter]

I think we can all agree that Dana loves slapping!

[@ryanrobinson5580]

Robbie Fox did a great interview.... great questions!!!

[@TheDildaddy]

He typically does pretty solid interviews but I think we dislike him for his Conor fanboy videos in the past.

[@iceKOId]

He literally said everything Dana wanted to hear. He’s a yes man softballer

[@jamesmiller5331]

He says it reminds him of the early days of the uoc but the difference is MMA was worth fighting the good fight for. Power slab is just sanctioned concussions that is funny for like a couple of rounds and then I don't ever need to see it again.

[@johnamazing1746]

White is a master at marketing. Slaps the shit out of his wife and it goes viral right before the slap fight launch. Brilliant.

[@harorider96]

Whether you like it or not power slap is absolutely killing the numbers honestly. Kids are not watching TV. Who cares about 1 million views on TV when he’s getting hundreds of millions/ over a billion on social media. It’s .1-1% of the views

6:55 Dana Bassmaster

[@timurjack8773]

21:46 🤣 The prediction for the fight didn't age well. Tommy fought boxers with no record (except for his last boxing fight before the Jake Paul fight) but he still fought real boxers. Jake fought MMA fighters in boxing, he didn't fight real boxers, MMA and boxing are 2 different sports with 2 different rule sets. Not sure why people thought MMA fighters can box. Just like boxers have no chance vs. an MMA fighter in an MMA fight, its the same thing.

[@daddy431963]

Then why spend the money putting it on TV if it dose work, if no one watches TV anymore?

fucking great interview, watched the Connor one as well (just as good)

[@dougieefresh1829]

I respect Dana and understand it's up to me whether I tune into power slap or not. Although I'd prefer It wasn't promoted on the UFC official accounts. I'm not surprised it gets some views to start but so did 2 girls 1 cup. Not for me fam. Lol! Respecfully!

[@gsp3428]

Of course its all up to us whether we tune in or not, the part which blows my mind is Dana really thinks people will want to actually pay for this someday.

Il watch it but I'm suprised Dana risk his rep to do this. Its the punches you don't see or prepare for that get you as you see with kos and knockouts in UFC that end careers. When you train for one hit and can't flinch people are gona get fucked up. If you get hit full strength and knocked out its gona damage you.
