Did Power Slap star Mitchell Sipe ever fight in the UFC?

Power Slap League star Mitchell Sipe was recently evicted from the coveted Power Slap house by Dana White after allegedly being involved in an intoxicated melee that put the other participants and production crew at risk. 'No Dice' had recently earned his entry into the house with an impressive first-round KO victory over fellow heavyweight Kody Hrastnik.

Interestingly, the 26-year-old Californian was a former contestant on the UFC's popular reality show, The Ultimate Fighter. Sipe featured in season 30 of the show, which pitted team Amanda Nunes against team Julianna Pena.

'No Dice' was a part of Team Nunes. The heavyweight contender was defeated by former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman's younger brother Mohammed Usman, who also went on to win the finals. Usman beat Sipe and Eduardo Perez before knocking out Zac Pauga to win the TUF 30's heavyweight bracket.

While Mitchell Sipe was unable to earn a UFC contract through the reality television series, he was given the opportunity to be a part of Dana White's Power Slap League, where he scored a spectacular knockout on his debut. He also previously competed in Dana White's Contender Series in 2018, where he lost to Don'Tale Mayes.

World-renowned neuroscientist believes Dana White's Power Slap League could be fatal for its competitors

The Power Slap League is UFC president Dana White's newest sporting venture and involves two participants slapping each other as hard as possible until one gets knocked out or concedes. The highly controversial show has been slammed by many health experts and combat sports enthusiasts for its dangerous ruleset and concerns about fighters' health.

Dr. Bennet Omalu, one of the world's leading experts on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), is the latest health professional to condemn the show. Dr. Omalu was portrayed by Will Smith in the 2015 film 'Concussion', which was based on the doctor's research and findings on CTE in NFL players.

In a recent interview with The Sun, the Nigerian-born American doctor expressed his concerns over the dangers posed by the sport of power slapping and even claimed it could kill competitors:

"It is a very dumb sport, very stupid and unsafe. It is primitive. To me, such a sport is inconsistent with the intelligence of humans. It is possible that a participant could die from this. Somebody could die or suffer catastrophic brain damage and become a vegetable... It is silly, given what we know about concussions and blunt-force trauma to the head... It should not be on TV."
