Jones on White's slap league: 'It's a wild sport'

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 28, 2024, 3:05 a.m.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has spoken out about Dana White's Power Slap league.

"Honestly, I support everything Dane White does. Power Slap is different, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. It gives some tough guys a chance at fame, what they do with their fame is up to them. It entertains people, it gives people shelter. But, yeah, I do think it's very dangerous.

You get slapped around, which is something I don't really support. It's a wild sport. But I respect you guys, I really do, because you have to have the courage to stand there and get slapped in front of the whole world," Jones said in an interview with Nina Drama.
