UFC Hall of Famer Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone has openly criticized the Power Slap league, a new venture endorsed by UFC CEO Dana White, for its potential to cause CTE, a type of brain damage, stating 'hear CTE brain damage' to highlight the risks. Despite his own history in combat sports, Cerrone has stated that even he would not participate in Power Slap. Meanwhile, Dana White has announced plans to hold a Power Slap event outside the United States to allow competitors from countries like Russia, who are unable to enter the US, to participate. This move comes amid criticisms, including from MSNBC, that Power Slap could serve as a gateway to far-right politics.
