#1. Main event: Branden Bordeaux exacts revenge against Isaih Quinones

The headlining match saw Isaih 'The Puerto Rican Pretty Boy' Quinones start the fight. His first slap initially appeared to be rather unimpactful. Nevertheless, it turned out that it inflicted considerable damage to Bordeaux's nose.

The Power Slap 12 commentary team, including UFC Hall of Famer and former UFC middleweight champion Michael 'The Count' Bisping, speculated about whether his nose had been broken. Bordeaux dealt with some bleeding from his nose, and he was attended to by medical professionals, including the cutman.

Thankfully, the fight wasn't stopped, and he got his turn to land a slap against his longtime rival. Bordeaux's first slap turned out to be the last of the fight, as he landed a thunderous strike that knocked Quinones down. Quinones attempted to get up, but he seemed to be stunned, and the referee chose to wave the fight off.

Just like that, Branden 'The Butcher' Bordeaux avenged his December 2024 defeat and was crowned the new Power Slap middleweight champion, courtesy of a first-round TKO victory at Power Slap 12.

#2. Robert Trujillo displays iron chin against Dakota McGregor

The Power Slap 12 co-headlining match saw Robert 'The Real Deal' Trujillo take on Dakota 'The Maritime Menace' McGregor for the inaugural Power Slap lightweight championship. McGregor won the coin toss and opted to strike first. In round one, his slap didn't seem to have much of an effect on Trujillo. Also, the latter's slap didn't appear to have much of an effect on McGregor in that round.

Round two was a different story, however, as Trujillo almost secured a spectacular stoppage with a well-placed and powerful slap. The second round began with McGregor going first and landing a huge slap on his foe that didn't faze the iron-chinned Trujillo at all. On the contrary, Trujillo responded with a thunderous slap that knocked McGregor down.

McGregor made it back to his feet before the referee could count him out, but that was a close call nonetheless. The momentum of the fight looked as though it had massively shifted in Trujillo's favor, not only because of the knockdown that he scored but also due to his apparent resilience against McGregor's slaps.

Round three saw Trujillo easily absorb another shot from McGregor and return the favor with a powerful slap that appeared to wobble McGregor. Round four was more of the same, with Trujillo seemingly getting the better of McGregor. Similarly, in round five, Trujillo seemed to absorb his opponent's slap well, and he then landed a solid strike against McGregor.

Ultimately, the judges scored the fight for Trujillo, handing him a unanimous decision win and crowning him as the inaugural Power Slap lightweight champion.
