Power Slap 6 took place at the Durango Casino and Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada on Feb. 9, 2024. The fight between Bathory and Cataline was the co-main event. In her last bout, Bathory fought Christine Wolmarans and secured an impressive victory.
There was a lot of intrigue surrounding her performance on Feb. 9. Although the victory did not come in the manner she would have wanted, Bathory walked away with another 'W' to her record.
Power Slap is Endeavor’s foray into slap fighting. It was launched in 2022 by UFC CEO Dana White’s initiative. Power Slap 6 was the first event that took place outside the UFC Apex Facility. The next event, Power Slap 7: Wolverine vs. Turpin 2, is scheduled to take place on April 12.
