Dana White, the president of the UFC, recently made a controversial claim that his slap-fighting league, Power Slap, has more followers than any professional sports team. White reiterated this statement in multiple interviews, including on Andrew Schulz's Flagrant podcast. He specifically mentioned that Power Slap has more followers than prominent teams like Real Madrid. However, this claim was met with skepticism, as data shows that Power Slap has 4 million followers on Instagram, while Real Madrid has 162 million followers, Manchester United has 64 million, and the Lakers have 24 million. White later clarified that he meant to say Power Slap has more views than these teams, not followers.
