Dana White has been criticized for the launch of the Power Slap League following a video showing him slapping his wife multiple times. The league's airing on TBS on January 18 has further fueled the controversy, as many are criticizing the lack of safety measures for participants and the potential for head trauma. In addition to the ongoing dispute over the fighter's pay, White's latest venture has put him in hot water yet again.

MMA surgeon claims Dana White's Slap fighting can cause CTE brain condition

Popular MMA surgeon Dr. David Abbasi recently reacted to a slap competition from a Romanian slap-fight contest showing abnormal swelling on an athlete's face following a contest. This occurred primarily due to the fact that athletes have no scope to defend themselves against direct strikes to the head.

Reacting to the video, the surgeon said:

"I'm all for competition. I really am. I just find it hard to believe, especially with places like Nevada, that they are regulating sanctioned brain trauma. That's what it is. There's no defense of any type... How do you talk about this?... There really is no rules to it. What are these guys getting paid? They ain't getting paid sh*t."
