Power Slap Finale Card: Results, Winners, and Video Highlights 

The finale of season one of Dana White's Power Slap championship took place last night at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event saw four new champions crowned and was headlined by a heavyweight championship bout between Ron 'Wolverine' Bata and Darius 'The Destroyer' Mata-Varona. That said, let's take a look at the results.

The main card kicked off with a welterweight title bout between Chris Thomas and Jesus Gaspar Diaz. As expected going into the bout, Diaz ended the fight with the very first slap of the first round to be crowned the Power Slap welterweight champion.

In the second fight on the main card, the middleweight title was on the line between John Davis and Azael Rodriguez. Davis knocked out Rodriguez with the opening slap in the very first round of the bout.

The light-heavyweight championship bout turned out to be one to remember as Vernon Cathey went up against Ayjay Hintz. After being knocked down himself, Hintz came back and knocked out 'The Mechanic' with a vicious slap to become the new light-heavyweight champion of Power Slap.

Darius 'The Destroyer' went up against Ron Bata in the main event of the night. Going into the bout, 'The Destroyer' was undefeated in his slap-fighting career with three victories over his opponent Bata. However, things turned out to be different in their fourth meeting as 'Wolverine' stopped his opponent in the first round to become the heavyweight champion.

Why was Power Slap Finale not on PPV?

The Power Slap season one finale was initially rumored to be on pay-per-view. However, it was announced by UFC president Dana White that the event will be free to watch on the online video platform, Rumble.

While there were many theories speculating why, Dana White himself spoke about the real reason behind the Power Slap finale not being on pay-per-view. During a pre-match press conference, the UFC president spoke about why the promoters decided against putting it on pay-per-view.

While suggesting that his unfortunate 'slapgate' with his wife, Anne, during New Year's Eve was one of the reasons, Dana White stated:

"We were going through the business plan for this thing, and how we were going to do this and that and everything else. We said maybe we put it on TV and we build this whole social and digital plan around it and then it's a pay-per-view at the end... and let's be honest, I didn't do myself any favors on New Year's Eve."
