Slap fight has existed for a while, and it was even a part of the Arnold Classic last year. However, White’s Power Slap promotion represents the first serious effort to introduce the sport to the US—the chapter began a few weeks after White’s “embarrassing” striking incident in January.
Whether people will enjoy the seasons to come for the fight remains to be seen.
Comsa Sorin advanced to the final round of the Romanian Championship. He ultimately won the title and a large sum of money. However, the price he had to pay seemed excessive.
Comsa’s face was distended from repeated blows to the face. Both Comsa and his opponent were covered in blood after the battle. As a result of being shared on Twitter, the video’s popularity has increased.
People on social media could not comprehend how this contest was lawful. Most individuals viewed it as a hazardous “sport.” Many individuals viewed this as “crazy” because, in any combat sport, you should be able to defend yourself.
One guy wrote, “I don’t know what you see, but it looks good and like a lot of fun to me. All of those movements.”
A former UFC champion, McGregor, tweeted, “Absolutely stunning technique, congratulations to the new heavyweight champion.”
Sorin’s Safety Concerns Sparked A Talk
In slap combat, the only way to inflict damage is to slam your palm into your opponent’s head. Since there is no way to prevent this from happening, almost everyone will almost undoubtedly release tau into their brains. Tau is the protein responsible for Alzheimer’s.
Due to the renewed interest in the controversial sport, other organizations are discovering that their online videos are being viewed.
The viral video depicts slap fighter Sorin Comsa with blood and chalk on the left side of his face. His cheek is distended, his left mandible is hanging, and his face does not resemble its usual appearance.
Comsa won the match and received €5,000 ($5,400) despite appearing vulnerable following the open-handed attack.
In addition to many other things, all combat games harm our mental health. Any impact on the head could cause permanent harm. People frequently use the term concussion to characterize the symptoms resulting from a blow to the head, but this is inaccurate. Frequently, these symptoms include loss of consciousness, light sensitivity, and sickness.
Concussion symptoms cause chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition in which a protein called tau nibbles away at vital sections of the brain. When tau enters the brain, it can cause significant psychological changes, a loss of cognitive awareness, depression, and an increased risk of suicidal ideation.
Therefore, whether a fighter shakes off a powerful jab or is knocked out by a head kick, the psychological risks are high.
Power Slap by Dana White premiered, and the prerecorded reality program, whose purpose was to increase viewer interest in the fight, was a success.
In Season 2, it is rumored that those who perform well in Power Slap will compete for a Slap title at a conventional school of combat sports. The events are anticipated in Las Vegas at the UFC’s Apex TV studio before a live audience.
