Dana White’s Power Slap has secured a television deal to begin in 2023.
At a press conference at Radio City Music Hall in New York, White announced that the league has secured a television deal with TBS for an eight-episode series to begin airing in January.
The episodes will be one hour in length with casting already begun. It comes weeks after the events were sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
The series will focus on various personalities and establish world rankings at its conclusion.
White said he began to gain interest in online slap videos in 2017 and reached out to Lorenzo & Frank Fertitta, as well as Craig Piligian, who was part of the launch of Ultimate Fighter.
White said there will be weight classes and rules, and hopes other states will follow Nevada.
