in this sport.
Welcome inside the world -famous Chelsea Theater at the Cosmopolitan in Las
Vegas alongside former UFC welterweight Alan Joban.
I'm Dan Helley, and not only do we have a championship on the line, we have a
slew of number one contenders and name brands waiting to make the walk. Very
much so. You know, it is EDC weekend here in Vegas, so you know it's a wild
but anytime power's left in town, you know we're going to bring the
You spoke about the main card in this one. Just on the main card alone, two
former The title competitors trying to get back into the title reign right here
with the win tonight. You look at the co -main event, Dorian Perez versus Nate
Bernard. A title fight eliminator in the heavyweight division. It's all capped
off with a title fight in the lightweight division.
Yeah, one of the best lightweights to ever do it. Robert Trujillo has
owned this division. He's taken on Hayden Johnson, a guy who is impressed
much that he's fighting for a title in just his second match. But he has an
absolute dog to deal with.
Trujillo. Oh man, you talk about one of the best that we have ever seen in this
sport. We're talking about Robert Trujillo. The offense, he's got the
this division. On defense, he's a guy that stands tall, doesn't get rocked
often. A guy also that has been flawless in terms of never committed a foul in
all of his fights here at Powerslide. He's looking for his seventh win in a
and going for his second title defense.
And there has to be something special about this kid you call the concrete
cowboy to get this shot so early in his career.
Hayden Johnson is the guy that has huge belief in himself. He told his father,
one day I'm going to be competing in power slap. He did that. He went to the
combine. He got an opportunity in his first ever outing. He got the first
knockout. He knew he'd be fighting for a title one day, Dan, just not this soon.
He is very, very confident going into just his second career power clap match.
Let's take a look at the power clap main card brought to you by Monster Energy,
the official energy drink of power clap.

for the under 4 .5 knockouts on our card here tonight. For more on our massive
heavyweight matchup for the co -main event, let's bring in the third member
our broadcast crew, that, of course, the one and only Charlie Arnold.
Nate Bernard and Dorian Perez, they both called this matchup inevitable.
They said they have a lot of respect for each other. They've been friends for a
long time, echoing the sentiment after weigh -ins yesterday, but said once they
get on top of this power slap stage, it is all business.
Both of them are expecting an all -out war. Now, Dorian Perez, he's the number
one ranked heavyweight, looking for another shot at gold. He really took up
intensity of his workouts and credited that to his younger brother, 14 -year
-old Isaiah, who he calls an absolute beast for pushing him to his limits.
a heavy emphasis on his lower body strength so he could match Bernard's
saying he was repping out 700, 800 pounds on the bell squat.
He believes this match is going to go the distance, which will give him ample
opportunity to showcase his entire skill set.
Then there's Nate Bernard, number two ranked heavyweight, who is equally as
motivated by a potential title shot. The former college football player says
he's used to staying in shape year -round, but really has been leaning into
golf game, calling it excellent rotational practice for power slap.
He had a sudden death victory. last fall since then, maintaining his post as
security guard for the Buffalo Bills. And as far as Perez, he says, that man
yet to be sat down. I hope to be the one to crack the code. Dan, back to you.
All right, Charlie, thank you very much. A look at our prelims. Middleweight's
Emmanuel Muniz.
Set to go at it with Ryan Wallace. Luke Simons looking for the fifth win of his
career against Jiden. Not Schultz. Bryce Jones takes on fellow heavyweight
Brandon Wilson. And it's Baby Yoda against Glenn Hammerhand's Hunter in our
featured prelim. Let's take a look at the rules of Power Slap brought to you
Gorilla Elixir, the official alternative beverage of Power Slap. For the
striker. They must use a flat, open hand to the cheek or a clubbing foul will be
assessed. Feet must be grounded, no pivoting or stepping. A minor heel lift
allowed. You must declare a hand and a number prior to the strike. For the
defender, no chin tucking or flinching. Flinching is absolutely massive.
It's a potential point deduction, and the striker goes again. The defender
receive 60 seconds to recover after each strike.
Two fouls gets you DQ'd in a three -round match. It's three -round.
Fouls in a five -round match, and you're out. The defender does get two minutes
to recover after they've been fouled. Powerslap is using his replay, and if
there isn't a finish, we go to the judges' scorecards. Now, if a match ends
draw, there will be one more match. The match will be scored solely on the
additional sudden victory round. The winner of the extra round is the winner
the match. If that round ends in a tie, then the match goes in the books.

Our first match of the night is on deck. California kid Danny Muniz, one of the
most experienced strikers in the game, the former welterweight champ, has three
title fights on the resume, and it's itching to get back into the
mix. To get there, you'll have to get furious about the joker Ryan Wallace
on the power clap stage for the first time in more than two years with the
renewed focus and a refined swim.
And with that, the table rises for the first time tonight. Our prediction odds
brought to you by Polymarket, the world's largest prediction market.
Muniz, the former champ, has a 74 % chance to win.
Former welterweight champion Emmanuel Nolove Muniz brings the heat and refuses
to go down, but if he wants to get his title back, he'll need to bring his A
-game against fellow American Ryan Wallen.
Emmanuel No Love Muniz is one of the most experienced welterweights in power
slack. With 11 appearances, six wins, and a championship reign already on the
resume, the Los Angeles striker has shared the stage with the best in the
division, proving that he can go five hard rounds or end a match quickly by
knockout. Across from him is Ryan the Joker Wallace, who returns after more
two years away from the competition and refuses to see himself as an underdog.
Wallace is a warrior, and after facing elite competition early in his career,
now gets the opportunity to make his biggest statement yet against a former
champion. Coming up next, Emmanuel, no love Moonees, takes on Ryan, the Joker,
Wallace.
The Joker just pumped up to be back.
Ryan Wallace returning after more than two years away from Power Slap. Moved
family from New York during Missouri during that time away. What did he do?
opened up a toy store in Branson, Missouri, and it is doing phenomenally
Yeah, he said he was killing it with the toy store.
The right decision there. You talk about his background. He's been a hard worker
since he was a kid. He said he used to work in the fields at 11 years old to
make money and go buy the things that he need. It gave him that type of working
mentality. He's been out for two years, but he doesn't want to wait that long
anymore. He feels his openings here in the middleweight division, but
after this match and with the win, would like to drop down to the welterweight
division and make some waves over there.
Emmanuel.
three title fights on the resume. Has been a champion competing now at
Middleweight for just the second time in a row. Short notice call, Charlie. Got
the call just a week and a half ago.
Short notice, but he's been putting in that work since we last saw him in July.
He said he changed up his diet. He put a focus on his gut health. He said he
takes a shot of apple cider vinegar every morning.
I laughed.
He said don't sleep on it. So guys, I'm going to give it a try. I will report
back. Now, No Love also has put to have you focus on plyometrics and explosive
movements. He says his body was fully primed to fight at 170.
He was ready to make the cut, but when he learned this fight was moved to
middleweight, he still said, any time, any weight.
I'm going to get the job done. So lots of confidence here from Emmanuel Muniz.
I'm surprised you haven't tried the apple cider vinegar every morning. I've
tried a lot of things, but that is just, I guess. You're the health conscious
person. I'm a little crazy. Give it a shot. You might need to chase it with
something after, you know.
Emmanuel Muniz, he's been in the sport for a very long time. One thing that
also thrived in, he's been coaching as well. He did some coaching overseas.
And he really took a lot from it. When you're looking at it from the outside
perspective, you can get a lot more analytical and evolve your game. He
to do that and level up here tonight.
Time now for the tail of the day, Booneys and Wallace.
You can see that Wallace coming in at the plus 260 dog. It's the older man, a
slightly bigger neck. The hand -sized advantage goes to the underdog Wallace
well. Here's our power slapping out for Justin Bernard.

in power slap have ended by knockout on the first slap.
All right, to the center, to the center.
All right, here we go. Get them all lined up. Wallace.
And we'll strike first.
Hand and count.
Right hand on one. Right hand on one. Right hand on one. You must measure.
First opportunity tonight on one for the underdog. That's your measure.
Ryan looking for his first win here.
Good fly.
Replay. Moniz letting him know he's seen that before.
This is Moniz's 12th power slap appearance.
One of the most experienced guys on the roster.
Little low right there. You see that? Didn't get the full hand.
Look at that.
Yeah, only got the top part of the hand involved.
Your point is a good one, though, about Emmanuel Muniz. He's been in three title
fights. He's a former champion. He's gone five rounds with Anthony Blackburn
twice. Five rounds with Christopher Thomas before he knocked him out in the
fifth. This guy is a doll. Right hand on three. Right hand on three. You must
measure.
See what Muniz can do right here.
Wallace is 0 -2 so far in power slap, and both of those ended by TKO. One.
You can see him fidgeting right before. I was worried that he was going to jump.
It was clean. Take a look at it right here.
Racing for impact. Clean shot.
Emmanuel Muniz.
I mean, when you have 11 matches on the resume, you know exactly what you're
doing. And sometimes I think guys like Emmanuel Mouniz, they don't even come
of the gate as quickly as they should, right? They want to make sure
everything's lined up. They want to make sure they're on target.
And then they can bring it in. Well, if that was a feeler, then I'm worried to
see what we get in the second round because that was a powerful clap. The
thing I noticed on that one from Emmanuel Mouniz was his eyes. Eyes wide
focused on the target.
Right hand on three.
Right hand on three. You must measure. That's a measure.
One.
Two.
Oh.
Foul. Clubbing.
Yeah, it looked a little low. It looked a little too deep.
Take a look at this replay on this one.
But it seemed like he was a little too deep on the shot. Maybe even low again.
Oh, on the neck.
Wow. Yeah, it was definitely the base of the hand. Yeah, hit him a little worse,
but that wasn't good.
He's got a minute and a half.
No, no, no. He's got more wrists than anything else. Yeah.
Not a lot. Just a little. And even so, Muniz eats it very well.
Because he sits here like this. He's as tough as he comes.
Foul! Clubby!
Foul! Clubby!
One point!
One point!
One point!
Well, this almost makes it that he has to survive this shot from Muniz and try
to find a knockout because I gave Muniz the first round.
And with the foul, he is destined to lose this round if Muniz just lands a
clean shot.
Muniz is saying he's ready to go.
He's got Keonez in his corner coaching.
Bordeaux in the other corner. Both of these coaches doing an excellent job
the fighters thus far.
Right hand on three.
Right hand on three. You must measure.
That's your measure.
Does Muniz look for the kill shot or just look to land clean?
Yeah, I think he's looking to put it away right here. Try to put this match
bed.
The Butcher, he's such a good coach. It sounds like he's telling his dog to
stay, but he's telling Wallace, just stay, which is great coaching.
Don't try and walk around and let them see you doing that walk.
Stay safe. Take a look at it here.
Look at the legs. A little bit of a delayed reaction right there.
All right, 15 seconds.
So that was likely a 10 -8 round with a point deduction.
Fight and recover.
Round three presented by Lucy Breakers. 16 pouches with flavor. That slaps
harder and lasts longer. Hand and count. Right on three. Right hand on three.
Right hand on three. You must measure.
That's your measure. Remember, he went on one in round one. Three in round two.
Needs a knockout here.
That could be another. That might be a close.
Initially saying it was a good slap, they might take a review at it.
He can't find, he really
can't find the target. You heard Muniz say to him, you don't belong up here
me.
That was the words that came out of his mouth. He just feels like he's...
To experience. And so far you're seeing that in this matchup.
That's a former champion going up against a guy who has yet to win on the
slap stage back for the first time in two years.
What does he do, Dan? Does he take the easy win or does he go for the knockout?
This is kill shot.
Moody's is frustrated. He wanted to knock out there.
Three knockouts already on the resume for Emmanuel Moody's trying to get
one, which would have been his first in almost a year when he knocked out Chris
Thomas in the first round.
Valiant effort hanging in there by the Joker, Ryan Wallace, but really no match
for Emmanuel Moody's. Yeah, you've got to feel good about that performance if
you're Emmanuel Moody's. You ate all the shots very well.
10 -8 round in round number two. Wobbled him a couple of times.
Too dominant, too experienced for Ryan Wallace.
Yeah, he stumbled him almost every single time.
Wallace, with the yeoman's effort, just staying on his feet, really.
I'll tell you what, our catchers, they're all over it tonight.

Luke Lethal Strike Simons charges into Vegas with power and experience.
He'll need both against the hard -hitting Aussie.
Jiden Anana -Schultz, who looks to build on a fast start last March.
Luke Lethal Strike Simons has already proven he can win in different ways on
power slap stage, with four victories and three finishes to his name.
A powerful light heavyweight with a 74 .5 -inch reach, Simons brings experience
and bad intentions every time out, and now he looks to turn back one of the
division's newest threats.
Across from him is Jiden the Koala, Fa 'anana Schultz, an Australian striker
with a rugby background and a perfect power slap record.
After stopping Joe Perez in his debut, Fa 'anana Schultz now gets a major step
up in competition, and the chance to prove his fast start was just the
beginning. Coming up next, Luke's lethal strike Simon takes on Jiden the Koala,
Fa 'anana Schultz.
Australian born with a dual citizenship in Australia and America, has been
residing in the Bay Area, recently moved from Fort Bragg, California to
Susanville, California, trying to build on that great start that he had in
March.
Yeah, despite coming off a TKO win in his debut, though, Jaden Fa 'anana
-Schultz says there are still some nerves heading into tonight because he
have an audience in March because his match was during the early prelim. So he
is ready to make a statement with the room now full of eyes on him. To prepare
for this match, he did it all. He was in the gym three to four times a week,
lifting heavy, doing lots of cardio, which included running and swimming, and
hitting the slap paddle held by his... Lovely girlfriend.
Not to mention he's been getting advice from some of the best with Pono Pau and
a crazy Hawaiian helping him with both his technique and he is ready to get out
there and do exactly what he came for, and that's to win.
Yeah, and Schultz is a guy that comes from that rugby background, and I feel
like any time we have competitors that make the transition from rugby into
slide, they do well. He spoke about it. I'm used to physicality. I'm used to
collisions like this. I feel like I'm going to do well. I think he'll be just
fine tonight in front of his live crowd.
Would love to knock out, but expects a battle. Wants to climb the ladder the
hard way.
Luke, lethal strike.
Simons, the 29 -year -old from Dallas, Texas, coming in with a 4 -2 record. One
of those wins.
over Alan Klingbeil, who has been a monster in power slaps since the moment
stepped on stage. He has extensive athletic background.
Wrestling, football, baseball, a little basketball and cross country as well.
He's also a very seasoned bodybuilder. Did it for over a decade.
Yeah, 12 years to be exact. I mean, that's a long time. And you can see the
frame on him underneath that T -shirt looking like a very powerful man. And it
shows and carries over in power slap.
Three of his four wins came by finish. So when he gets those wins, it usually
doesn't go to the judges' scorecards, but also in his losses, in his two
his last two outings.
Those didn't go to the judges' scorecards as well, so he needs to clean
thing up tonight.
Let's take a look at the tail of the tape.
The koala and the man they call Lethal Strike, Luke Simons. One year separates
these two men in age. Next size advantage to the underdog, Ba 'anana
Hand size a half inch bigger as well as Schultz tries to improve on his
undefeated record. Here's Jeff Bernard.
Ladies and gentlemen, this match is three rounds in the power slab light
heavyweight division and presented by the Chelsea and the Cosmopolitan Las
Vegas.
Introducing to you first in the blue corner, he stands five feet and 11
tall, weighing in at 204 pounds. Out of Susanville, California,
he is the number nine ranked light heavyweight contender.
And now introducing his opponent in the red corner. He stands
six feet tall, weighing in at 206 pounds. Out of Dallas, Texas,
he is the number seven ranked light heavyweight contender in the world.
Luke Lethal Strong.
Jason Herzog.
Winner of the coin toss and striking first, Luke Diamond.
Polymarker, the world's largest prediction mark.
Dan Schultz has nicknamed the koala. I don't know. I mean, I know he's from
Australia. I kind of take koalas as a bit more of a too cuddly animal.
I saw you with the picture.
Recently cuddling with a koala, right? It caught me on the way out. Okay, so
they're fierce this time.
This one's basically... Charlie's getting pretty mean.
Right hand on three, you said, right? Give me a measure. Right hand on three
with a measure. Right hand on three.
Right on three.
Simon's going on three.
One first round knockout on the resume already against Tim Thomas back in
December of 24.
Powerful guy right here, Simon.
Nice strike.
Slightly low on the chin.
I think it's safe to say that Koala felt that one. Yeah, it almost seemed like
his eyes went cross -eyed for a split second.
They did. Yeah.
Gathered himself after this blow.
That's the toughness that you speak about, that rugby toughness. Playing
you're used to the contact, used to collisions.
Good recovery right there by Schultz.
Schultz said that he believes his chin will hold up better in this war, and so
far, so good. And coming off, coming into this fight, rather, with the
You know, he fought just two months ago, got his second round TKO in that one.
That was against Jose Perez Jr.
Right on three with a measure. Right on three. That is your measure. Look at the
intensity right there, Simon.
Right on three. Preparing for impact.
One. He's been knocked out twice.
Let's go. Two.
Let's go.
That was beautiful punching.
It looks like a flinch. He either leaned into it or leaned away, but he did move
the target. You know, he was following the wind -up with his eyes, and I feel
like that could have hurt him.
Yeah, he ducked into it. Can we get another shot head -on as well? I'd like
see his eye contact.
Oh, it might have been clubbing on... Well, when they call the flinch,
everything else is off the table because...
You could be clubbing because of the flinch, right? Correct. I said review
flinching.
They're taking a look at it right now as we speak.
You dipped your head, right? Yeah. That's why this went a little bit deep.
you do that again, it's flinching. Do you understand?
Okay. Fair blow.
Oh, they get a warning on this one. A warning.
Let's go.
Time. You're here. Time.
Usually the discretion of the official as to when they take a point. That was
huge for him.
Simon's zamped up, playing to the crowd, puffing out the chest.
Simon's got a nice shot in that first round, Dan.
See if he can finish things off.
Try to stumble Schultz here.
And I tell you what, I think Jadon was on to something when he talked about his
chin. Yeah.
He said he expected this to be respectful but violent.
Sounded like a firecracker when it landed.
Schultz ate it very well, though.
You saw the graphic earlier.
For Simons, five of his seven matches had ended by knockout, whether he's
been on the winning end or the losing end. So he is an all -or -nothing type
slapper.
We'll get you set right here.
Which hand and what count?
Right on three. Is he good? Right on three.
Close round number one. I kind of lean towards Simon's in that one. Schultz is
going to need something big right here.
Even things up.
He was talking to him. He kept saying,
I'm moving.
He's trying to play little mind games here. I'm moving, I'm moving. Trying to
force a club.
Luke, focus.
Hey, focus.
You got to hit this shit.
Simon's spending more time talking to Dana than he is getting the hands
up.
Got a little head movement on that one.
Might have been the more powerful blow for Schultz in round two. If my
scorecard, how I'm looking at it, are correct, I've got it all tied up here
going into the final round.
Round three presented by Lucy Breakers, nicotine pouches with flavor that flaps
harder and lasts longer.
You moved into him, right? You lifted your foot and you pivoted in. You've got
to keep your feet down when you do this. Okay, that's a point deduction.
Okay.
Upon review, we have a stepping foul.
We have a one -point deduction.
One -point stepping foul. One -point stepping foul.
First stepping foul of the night.
Wow. Yeah, because I gave that round to Schultz. When you take a point
deduction, that makes it a 9 -9 round.
You can't step or pivot, but you are allowed a minor heel lift. That's one of
the most brutal stepping fouls I've seen fall in the history of power sports.
With a measure right on one.
Right on one. That he pivoted and then lifted his foot. With a measure. Right
one. Gave him a warning, but still took the point.
Right on one.
Yeah.
Oh.
Wow. Fair blow.
Man. It's like an echoing sound.
The power of the Simons.
It's built to Brandon. Let's knock him out, okay?
We lost that round, okay?
We're down. Look at me. Look at me.
Knock his ass out now, okay? I need your whole hand in there. I need your palm
set right in his mouth, okay? And I need you to drive all the way through.
Everything you've got right now on this shot, this is the last one, okay?
Don't put it on him.
Don't finish him. It's fine. It's fine. Keep your feet down, okay?
All the way through.
We're about to knock him out, okay?
Good, clean shot. Drive all the way through him. Finish him right now. And I
think that's great coaching right there from Bordeaux.
In my mind, I gave Schultz round two, but it was a point deduction, which
make it a draw. If he would win this round, it would make it a draw, rather.
you don't know. You don't know who the judges are looking at. You've got to go
for the kill right here, try to knock Simons out.
Right on three with a measure. Right on three.
Right on three.
He's going for the knockout, but he has to be careful. Right on three. That's
your measure.
Not to be penalized again with stepping.
One. He's talking to him. Still saying no.
Two. You ready?
Oh! The koala sticks his claws into him.
Four.
Five. Come to me. Six. Come to me.
Seven.
Eight. Right here.
Grab low.
Is that a 10 -8 with a drop?
I would think so.
Just stand right here.
Good coaching.
Being honest with the fighters right here. You look at that.
Simon was trying to get into his head, but...
Schultz was the one that rattled the rain right here.
Sat him down.
His best strike yet for Jyden Schultz.
We'll see if it was enough.
Look at Simons getting back with that wry smile on his face.
Jason Herzog letting them know that he was a little messed up on that one.
This is going to be interesting scoring, right?
I had it round one, 10 -9 Simons. Round two, 9 -9. In round three,
Schultz, a 10 -8, dropping him.
The official decision brought to you by Boom Mobile. Winning isn't random. It's
built into who we are. Here's Justin.
Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds, we go to the judges' scorecards
decision. All three judges score the contest 28 -27 for the...
decision.
Luke Lethal Strike Simons!
So Luke Lethal Strike Simons pulls it out.
Wins because of the foul.
A very impressive performance by both men staying on their feet.
Ba 'anana Schultz finally able to drop Simons in the third round but didn't get
the KO so It's not enough.
And Simons improves to 5 -2 in power slap.
Started with four straight wins. Coming off two knockout losses. Makes some ends
here tonight.
Seemed to struggle with his wake -up, but you can see the emotions pouring out
of him as he makes his way to the back.
Tomorrow, by the way, take center stage when Arnold Almighty Allen looks to slow
down oncoming Brazilian Elkazael Costa.
That and four tomorrow only on Paramount+. Our
co -main event participants are in the building. They call him disturbing the
peace from his days working as a security guard at the Mexican border.
These days, Dorian Perez is disturbing his opponents, looking for a third
straight win that could catapult him into title contention once again.
The Buffalo Soldier looking for the same thing.
Nate Bernard leans on his physicality as a former college football player, which
is translated into knockouts in two of his three wins. Now he's focused on
enjoying the moment, something he believes will pay dividends.
How about this social media explosion for PowerSlap? More than 30 million

Going to be back at the Chelsea, our new home in Las Vegas, for years to come,
and the party is just getting started on this Friday night.
It's an all -MMA showdown as Bryce Just Hands Jones returns, looking to remind
the heavyweight division why he started 3 -0. Standing in his way, South
Africa's Brandon T .K. Wilson.
Bryce Just Hands Jones has spent years chasing this platform, and every setback
has only sharpened his purpose.
After building a new life in Las Vegas and fighting his way on the power slap,
Jones now steps back in with a chance to show his first loss was only a detour.
Across from him is Brandon P .K. Wilson, who grew up boxing in South Africa
before moving to the United States to fulfill his dreams.
The undefeated amateur boxer believes this opportunity is his biggest one yet,
and he's ready to make an immediate impact against the proven heavyweight.
Coming up next, Bryce Just Hand Jones takes on Brandon P .K. Wilson.
Here's the 28 -year -old Brandon Wilson.
Tonight's walkout is brought to you by Ram Talk Trucks. Nothing stops Ram.
Wilson grew up in a small town on the eastern cape of South Africa playing
rugby, transition to MMA, and boxing where he is undefeated in both as an
amateur. A year and a half ago, moved to South Dakota where he's been working in
maintenance on hog barns, working on welding, electrical, and plumbing.
Multifaceted. Yeah, and he spoke about his combat sport background.
1 -0 in amateur MMA, 2 -0 in amateur boxing. He also said that when he was
training MMA, he was four rounds with the former UFC middleweight champion,
Drikus Duplessis. So you know that's got to give him a lot of confidence that
he's been in there on the mat with the best guys in the world, through toe -to
-toe with them, making his appearance, his debut here tonight.
Got to give him a lot of confidence.
Speaking about his opponent, Bryce Jones, jokingly he said this, but he did
this. He said this might be his retirement fight. He feels like he's
use that power and experience in combat sports to knock him out tonight.
This could be a first in power slap history. Bryce just hands Jones a former
state.
Bowling champion.
And his story is phenomenal.
Moved to Las Vegas with less than $300 in his pocket.
Has been working as a security guard, as a dispensary for the last several
years. And he came in, power clap, on fire, starting out with three straight
wins. It's eye -hand coordination, right? It's like dark. Maybe it's not a
contact sport, but...
He's a bowling champion.
He's got the coordination down.
One thing I like that he told us, he's going to mix up his timing, his speed,
change up the count that he's going to strike with the further this fight goes.
That shows a little bit of experience right there. He wants to try to offset
things against the newcomer, Brandon Wilson, utilize some of that experience.
started off his career three straight wins, suffered his first TKO loss in his
outing, trying to right the wrong in this matchup.
Time now to take a look at the tail of the tape.
Nine years older is Bryce Jones.
He is one inch taller. The hand size advantage significant.
An inch and a half to Brandon Wilkes. And this one, as even as they come, it's
pick -em. Here's Justin.
Ladies and gentlemen, this match is three rounds in the Power Slap
Division. And presented by Wolfpack, the official bag of Power Slap.
Introducing to you first, in the blue corner, he stands six feet tall,
in at 259 pounds.
Out of Mitchell, South Dakota, Brandon P .K.
Wilson.
And now introducing his opponent in the red corner, he stands six feet, one inch
tall, weighing in at 261 pounds.

wins the coin toss. We'll see if the trend can continue where the more
experienced guys are getting the wins over the debuters.
All
right,
going on three. You can see the experience from Jones
saying, hey, let's get his shoulders down. I want my target here.
He's won.
One of his...
Three matches by knockout.
That looks like it wrapped around his head.
Initially they call it a fair blow.
Might be some movement on the side of Brandon Wilson.
Either that or a club. It's going to be one of the two I would imagine.
And it looks like Bryce Jones might have hurt his hand on that one.
Hitting the side of the head.
After review.
After review.
Foul. Clubbing red.
One point red clubbing.
One point red clubbing.
I initially thought they were warning Wilson about movement.
It was Bryce Jones that didn't find the target.
So one flop, one point deducted for Bryce Jones, not the way that he wanted
start here tonight.
Take a step back on your next one.
He seems to be struggling with that right hand. We have seen competitors in
past switch hands, but generally when you go with your offhand, you're...
You're lacking power.
I mean, to get a point deduction and an injured hand, a bit of a slap in the
face. Yeah, that's a double kick.
Let's see what Brandon Wilson can do in his debut.
A lot of combat sports experience, boxing, MMA, trained with 3K's duplex
DB4.
We asked him how he did. He goes, you know what, I did pretty well.
A long time ago, but that's impressive nonetheless.
Okay, right hand on one. You must measure right hand on one.
One on one.
There's your measure.
Shoulders down.
Going on one in his debut.
Stop, stop.
You've got to get your shoulders down.
Oh, Bryce Jones doing the exact thing that Wilson was doing when he corrected
him on his posture. Okay, I know you're trying not to, but don't.
Okay, right there. Now get set.
Shoulders down.
Fair play.
Okay.
Right hand on one.
Here's your measure.
There's your measure.
Wilson just seems powerful. We're about to find out.
Oh, you called it, Joe, man.
Sits him down.
Tonight's Monster Knockout is brought to you by Monster Energy.
Unleash the beast.
He is country strong, Joe Band. He is. And coming out here, you know, he was
worried about competing in front of an audience. But it takes some balls to
out here and not only compete in front of an audience, but in your debut.
Slap on one.
Confidence that he would find the target, felt good about his power, and
power delivered tonight sitting down the veteran Bryce Jones.
I'm trying to remember if he's the one that we were talking to in the meeting
who was making his debut about taking the measure and really taking all three
full swings, and he just ended up going on one.
That was filthy.
You know, there was something about the way that he walked back up to the podium
and his body language right there. And then when they were adjusting.
You were working. I was just admiring. You're just smiling.
The official decision is brought to you by Boom Mobile. Winning is random. It's
built into who we are. Here's Justin.
Ladies and gentlemen, referee Kerry Hadley calls a stop to the match in
number one, declaring the winner by TKO, Brandon P .K.
Wilson.
I'm here with the winner, Brandon Wilson. That is how you do it. What a
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling pretty good.
I feel like I could have put a bit more power behind it, but I was focusing on
the accuracy, landing it. I didn't want any fouls.
Yeah, so I was just aiming for a clean, good smack.
Yeah, to all my South African supporters back home, all my friends and
supporters here in America, love you guys. This is only the beginning.
Listen,
I love what you're saying here, putting more power behind it, but there was some
serious power in that one. I mean, you knocked the guy out.
What more could you ask for?
No, no, I know I had a lot more in me.
The people that were training with me know that as well.
I could have done much better, but this is only the beginning.
Next time, load shedding.
Load shedding, my pal.
It is only the beginning. And, you know, as far as what's next, what do you want
to be next? How quickly would you like to return to action?
Well, the next event, as soon as possible.
I think it's July 10th or something like that.
I'm down. I'm in. I'm ready.
Ready to rock steady.
All right. Powerslub 21 calling his name. Ladies and gentlemen, your winner,
Brandon Wilson.

He is ready, wants to go to battle again in July, and it's the first time I've
seen a guy who gets a knockout on his first lap, and I should have brought a
little more power. Yeah, he wasn't happy with it. He felt like he was holding
back, so it just shows.
What is possibly in store the next time we see Brandon Wilkins?

Brian Baby Yoda's Scambler's debut could not have gone any better, and now the
wrestling coach looks to stay perfect against another standout combat sports
athlete in Glenn Hammerhand's Hunter.
Brian Baby Yoda's Scambler has built his life around coaching, competing, and
chasing titles across multiple grappling styles.
Now at 155 pounds, he says he feels faster, stronger, and ready to turn
Slap into his next championship pursuit.
Across from him is Glenn Hammerhand Hunter, a lifelong combat sports athlete
with a Muay Thai, MMA, kickboxing, and wrestling background.
Armed with a resilience forged from a martial arts lifestyle, he returns with
hard -earned experience and one goal, to prove he belongs.
Coming up next, Bryant, Baby Yoda's gambler, takes on Glenn Hammerhand
Tonight's walkouts are brought to you by Ram Trucks. Nothing stops Ram.
This is Hammer Hands, Glenn Hunter Jr., 34 years old, residing in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, with his five pit bulls. They keep him motivated, he says, and he is
extra motivated.
After his debut, he said, I was hesitant. I was anxious. I only threw it
80%. Tonight, I'm going full bore. You can expect a 100 % slap.
Right out of the gate. Yeah, and you can't fault him for that. You come in
on your debut, and a lot of guys are just thinking, I want to go clean. I
to make sure everything lands. Look at our last competitor, Brandon Wilson,
saying that was only like 80%. I didn't go 100.
Well, Glenn Michael Hunter Jr. did that in the last outing. Didn't get the
knockout, but then he got caught after that. Now, just a note, he got caught by
Hayden Johnson, the concrete cowboy. He's fighting for the championship belt
tonight, so it was a tough competitor.
But he's got another tough matchup tonight against Brian Scrambler.
Baby Yoda, Brian Scrambler.
Found out early this week he would have a new opponent.
Man, if his first match was any indication, this guy's going to be a
lightweight. He was one and done at 170, so he drops down to 155. He was the
assistant wrestling coach for the University of Arizona club wrestling
left to focus on his coffee company, where he has gone from barista to CEO.
Impressive guy. That's quite the step up in the company. He's got three, two
brick and mortars, one mobile location.
Those Bros Coffee is killing it right now, and he's also killing it in the
athletic department. This guy's a 12 -time All -American. He said, 12 -time
-American, please explain. Five -time Greco, three -time jiu -jitsu, one -time
in catch wrestling, one -time in sambo, and one -time in beach grappling. That
sounds like a lot of fun, but he comes from a background.
And look out if this guy wins for the backflip celebration.
Beach grappling, I guess that's big in California. Got to get into that as we
take a look at the tail of the tape. Six years older is Gambler, who's coming in
as the minus 235 favorite over Glenn Hunter. He is motivated
and ready.
Here's Justin Bernard.
Ladies and gentlemen, this match is three rounds in the Power Slab
Division and presented by Monster Energy.
Unleash the beast.
Introducing to you first, in the blue corner, he stands five feet, eight and a
half inches tall, weighing in at 155 pounds.
Out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Glenn Hammerhead Hunter.
And now introducing his opponent in the red corner, he stands five feet, six
inches tall, weighing in.
your referee in charge, Chris Taione.
Winner of the coin toss and striking first, Brian Gambler.
Boom mobile, winning isn't random, it's built into who we are.
Brian Gambler, first round knockout in his debut.
Glenn Hunter, first round loss.
By KO in his debut. Now Brian Stambler, Baby Yoda, is 40 years old.
He's been grappling his entire life.
So far done very well in his power slap career.
Stambler's just a stud in this sport. I'm actually a little worried for Hunter
here. This could be two one and done in a row for Baby Yoda.
Yeah, when you get the power hitter who wins the coin toss.
Got to make Hunter pretty nervous. That's your measure.
Oh, my God. That's it.
I knew it.
Gambler is an animal.
Wow.
Gambler's never been hit yet. As long as he's winning the coin toss, he's
knocking people out.
Glenn Hunter doesn't know what planet.
and so on.
We might have a new title contender in the 155 -pound division.
Brian Scambler's an animal.
He is so good, so strong.
The combat sports background.
You saw this one coming a mile away.
You get truck flap of the night brought to you by Ram Trucks. Nothing stops me.
Take a look at this vicious knockout. Bracing for impact.
He got all of that one.
Look at him. I mean, he's out right there. You see the breathing?
Does he hit the... Yeah.
Hits the podium.
Goes down.
Yeah, podium check.
Sketchers were up.
He was on his back in about 2 .2 seconds.
I think Ryan Scramble is going to be on...
Everyone's radar if you're in the lightweight division.
2 -0 so far. Two knockouts, both in the first round. Comes from that grappling
background, and he's showing the physicality from it here in the power
Well, just think about this for a minute as we look at Dana's reaction.
Yeah.
Scambler. Oh, there's a backflip. Sorry, Dan. Oh, that was sweet.
I missed that.
Just an athlete.
And all around.
athlete is Ryan Scambler.
I mean, we have to see what happens tonight in the main event, right? But
lot of guys are looking to step up and fight a guy like Robert Trujillo, the
champion. It's not a deep division in lightweight. You have a guy who's
for the title tonight with just one match on the resume.
Hayden Johnson.
Scambler has two.
Exactly. I mean, you have to look at the impressiveness of this type of
performance. This certainly warrants him to take that step up next.
The official decision is brought to you by Boom Mobile. Winning isn't random.
It's built into who we are. Here's Justin.
Ladies and gentlemen, referee Chris Taione calls a stop to the match in
number one, declaring the winner by knockout, Brian Baby Yoda
Scambler.
I'm here with the winner, Brian Scambler.
2 -0 in power slap, both first -round knockouts. You have never been hit
How are you feeling?
I haven't been on this stage, but I've been here before. I'm feeling great.
Okay, not on this stage, though. How long can we keep that going? I mean, as
long as you keep winning the coin toss, is this an inevitable finish for you?
That's what the plan is. That's what I'm working for.
What goes through your mind before you deliver a ferocious slap like that?
This man's going to sleep.
I have anvils for him. They're coming for you.
Did you manage to get a look at Dana White's reaction to that one?
Yes, ma 'am, I did.
Give him a little salute, too.
That was awesome.
What's up? When can I fight next again?
I'm ready next month. What's up?
So a few more weeks, you want another spot?
Absolutely. Let's do it. All right. I mean, I think no one would have an issue
with that. You keep delivering finishes like that one. Congratulations, my
friend. Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by knockout, Brian Skambler.
If he's not calling for the title shot, I'm calling for the title shot, yeah.
What would it be like to see this man and Robert Trujillo standing face -to
-face on the power slap stage? You know, we often have to educate people and let
you know the point toss winner doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to
knock the guy out on the first one, but you have somebody like Ryan Gambler,
he's knocking everybody out, 2 -0, 2 knockouts, 2 first round hits, and he
hasn't taken any damage yet, as long as he's winning these point tosses.
This guy's an All -American in grappling. He's been grappling his
And that ability and that strength of him, at 40 years old, Dan, at 40 years
old, putting on these type of performances, we have to see what
main event tonight. But this is a guy that could be next in line.
40 years young, Alan. Yeah, I mean he's 40 years young.
Younger than us.
The reaction from the crowd was wild.
There's a lot of people in the crowd that have probably never seen knockouts
like this.
Dana and Hunt is two people that have seen a lot of knockouts, but so
impressive, that type of performance.
Baby Yoda getting it done.

The chain power slap 20 for a heel versus Johnson presented
by Monster Energy. Unleash the beast. Four fights down and four to go,
a lightweight championship showdown. It's a main part littered with top
contenders and title eliminators.
Veterans of the sport who could be one slap away from vying for a belt.
It's the former champion, A .J.
Dattekens. He has faced and beaten some of the best in power slap, but he better
be ready for the sport's next wave of strikers, including Esteban the Prince,
the veteran.
Former light heavyweight champion AJ Static Hint meets the unbeaten Esteban
Prince Saavedra, who welcomes the former champ with an open hand.
AJ, I think he had a good run at the very beginning of Power Slap, but now
time is over, and now it's my time to show the world that I will come up on
So being a former champion, coming into a match with a 1 -0 prospect, you know,
it's not ideal, but...
I didn't do well in my last match. It's been a while since I've been in the win
column, gotten any knockouts. So I've got to come in and get the fans talking
again, give them what they want to see.
Hintz has been part of Power Slap since the very beginning, building a six -win
resume that includes knockouts of Vernon Pathy, Russell Rivero, and Frank
Holland, among others.
A former champion with experience across multiple divisions,
Static brings pressure, power, and a long history of big fight moments.
My last match, you know, it didn't go the way I wanted. So it's actually been
while since I got to slap somebody.
And funny enough, the last person I got to slap was Esteban's uncle, Isaiah. So
I'm going to keep it in the family, but this time we're going to knock him out.
Saavedra arrived with a 1 -0 power slap record and a striking foundation built
through years of Muay Thai training in San Diego.
After earning a decision win over Mirza Bahamovic in his debut, the Prince now
gets the chance to fast -track his ride by taking out one of the most
experienced names in the division.
Paraslap saw something in me in order for me to go immediately against the
former champ.
And tonight I will be showing the rest of the world.
The Prince Esteban Saavedra coming in with a Muay Thai background and a 1 -0
record in power slap.
You heard A .J. Hintz mention it. His uncle, Azeel Rodriguez, has been in the
sport since the very beginning, and he is uber confident going into this one.
Yeah, not a bad person to have as your uncle, maybe a mentor, a bit of a coach,
if you will. It's been nearly a year since San Diego native Esteban Cebedra
his winning debut. He says he's been getting recognized here and there, which
hopes increases with another win tonight.
Now, he works as a behavioral therapist. He says one of his students recognized
him, saying, can you slap me? I know I can take it.
Sabedra being the consummate professional did not take him up on
ready tonight to unleash on A .J. Hinn. Prince is aiming for a first -run
knockout and says if that does not happen, then it's clear he did not train
enough. I like that mentality.
Yeah, you look at Sabedra.
This is a guy, I was looking at his Instagram.
This guy's benching 110 -pound dumbbells, right? He's got power.
He's the guy that can get the job done. Obviously, he's 1 -0 in his power slap
career, and he feels like going into this matchup, even though he's going up
against a former champion in AJ, he doesn't feel AJ is the same guy he used
be.
There's the familiar smile, that wry little smile from AJ, stat against the
former champion, won the belt.
defended the title, and then went five hard rounds with Wolverine.
Mid -2023, one of the biggest names in the sport during that time.
He's had a lot going on away from the power slap cage. Four kids at home. His
mom passed away about a year ago, left him the family house. He's been fixing
that up.
Unlike when he was the champion, when he would literally just get off the couch
and come in here for a match, he's been taking his training a lot more seriously
than when he started his career. Yeah, he's been busy at home. You know what
else he's been busy with?
Watching Mortal Kombat.
The guy comes in with a Mortal Kombat light -up cup, and I had to ask him
it right away.
He said he watched the movie three times just this week alone.
Now, I know sometimes going into fights you want to watch a movie that inspires
you. I'll go watch 300 or Gladiator or Bloodsport. No, it's Mortal Kombat for
him. He's infatuated with it. He loves the character Smoke in that movie. He
also talked about some of the subtleties in the sport. He says a lot of guys are
trying to kind of cheat.
in those gray areas, rolling with it, shrugging the shoulders. He's having
of it. He feels like he's going to come in here and have a clean performance and
get back in that win column again. The four big shows. I like to watch
Anchorman. The Tale of the Tape brought to you by Estrella Jalisco, an authentic
Gervaisa Dorado, and the official beer of Power Slap. A .J. Hinch is one year
older. You can see the hand -sized advantage. Notice the Sevetra.
Surprisingly, it's a pickle.
In this one, it's coming in with a ton more experience. Nine more matches.

Winner of the coin toss and striking first, AJ Hintz.
Poly Market, the world's largest prediction market.
To the center, to the center.
All right, so Hintz is going to strike first.
He's only had one match a year in each of the last two years. Five in 2023.
Three of those were title fights.
Yeah, and that's what Saavedra was alluding to, that AJ Hintz came on the
very strong, was one of the top guys, a champion, had a lot of knockouts, and
that has started to fade. AJ looking to get back in that win column and look to
get some knockouts once again.
Really digging into the ground is Hintz.
One.
Slow measure.
Walk to me.
We're good. He looks good. It might have been some of that experience right
there. Very slow measure, very slow windup, and then like a firecracker, AJ
on loads.
Nice shot.
Sits down Saavedra.
So Saavedra comes over.
to the chalk stand, puts on his glasses so he can get a good look at the
knockdown shot that Hintz landed.
All right, 10 seconds.
I don't know if I've seen that before.
I've definitely never seen it before, and I've done all 20 of these. Look at
defense right here of Hintz.
I mean, he is batting down against that table.
Is his height good for you?
Hintz is getting really low.
He's got everything engaged.
His neck, his core, his legs.
Right hand on one.
I don't know if Ed Saban is fully recovered.
I mean, he was walking fine.
Right hand on one. You must measure. Going on one. Cibethra said AJ Hintz
the same guy that he was in the beginning.
See if he can take out the former champion right here. Going on one.
Good fly.
I mean, it sounded like a whip. It sounded great.
Didn't affect Hintz one bit.
Might have been a little low.
You ready?
They're going to take a look at it. I can hear him saying it might have been a
little low.
They might be calling a club here.
It's close.
The man calls for their view. How about the eyes?
He's still snarling right now.
It's almost a chop.
He didn't necessarily land with... Look at this.
That's a tough call.
I feel like it's so close they might let this one go.
Well, you know what might not help Pence here is that... It was a good call on
the floor.
He had no reaction.
Good fly!
Good fly!
Go finish it, all right?
Go finish it.
Finally recovered.
All right, 10 -9 first round according to you, Allen.
And Isaiah Quinones kept it nice and simple for A .J. Stadikant.
Right hand on two. Right hand on two. You must measure.
A .J. started his career with four of his first wins by way of knockout. See
he can seal the deal right here in round two.
What number is he going on? Two.
Taking that slow approach. Here we go.
Good clap.
Good clap.
Replay. Quincy.
They exchanged pleasantries after that.
I want to see you see replay.
Sabandra might have messed with him a little bit. He kind of opened up his
mouth. Good clap on the floor.
Yeah, I don't know that I've seen that before. Yeah.
Dangerous if he would have got caught.
With the mouth open? Yeah, break your jaw.
Or dislocated, but not the strike that Hans was hoping for.
There was a foul for clubbing. Oh, man.
One point.
Oh, brutal. One point.
One point deduction for the former champ.
The clubbing call there, but not earlier on. Some beds are interesting.
And he needs to go forward.
I mean, a tad bit high.
Well,
rules are rules.
And Saavedra with a big chance here in round two.
And then when you reset, you kind of run them out.
So let's keep up. Let's keep up. Clean shot. He wins the round.
Hintz bowing the neck.
Eric Mann making sure the chin is up.
So there's a proper target for the Prince. Right hand on one, you must
Right hand on one, you must measure. I want you to skate right here. We're good
there. We're good there. Going on one. Remember, Thibodeau last round, they had
to review his strike.
Hintz doesn't like the measure.
These middleweights are bringing some heat, man. I'll tell you that much.
There's another look at it.
Another one at kind of that chopping blow.
Yeah, that was a close round.
Point deduction on Hint's side, though. I got you.
Could be a 9 -9 round.
All right, 20 seconds into the box. All right, go. Give him a box. Into the box.
Fighter recovered.
Round three presented by Lucci Breakers. Nicky Pouch is with Flavor. That slaps
harder and lasts longer.
Into round three we go. We can't have another offensive foul.
Don't move.
Two offensive fouls in a three -round match if you get DQ. Right hand on two.
You must measure. Right hand on two.
AJ felt after round one they'd be able to take this home and knock him out. Did
not have a clean strike.
See if he can get a clean, powerful strike on this one and put this to bed.
ill afford another penalty?
Or it will be an automatic DQ.
At the same time, looking to drop the hammer.
Get off of the table.
Good strike right there, right?
A .J. Hintz.
So that's the second time in three rounds that Sylvester's been rocked by
But that point to dunk is really massive here as Sylvester's going to go slack
for the last time. Yeah, Hintz did what he needed to do, getting a strong strike
in this one. This is it right here. Remember, I said it's close, okay?
He's lost a point. You were dropped once, okay?
Hey, deal with me. Look at me. Look at me. Don't look down, okay? I want you on
me so I can see it.
Hey, we got to land a perfect shot right here. Very close match.
We're going to put it right on him.
Chalk up, chalk up.
He's barely hanging on right now.
It seems that way. How much is it going to affect his offense right here?
I'd be surprised if he lands a clean shot here.
He does not have his wits about him. Yeah, and Bordeaux basically telling him
you need to knock him out.
of how I need you to keep it. This would be one of the most unlikely knockouts I
have ever seen in 20 power slap events.
Hand and count.
Right hand on one. You must measure. Keep them feet right there.
That's your measure. Here we go. Can AJ hold on?
after that one loves and no love yeah well
Subedra just landing that was a victory
considering the condition he was in as he walked to the chalk stand.
Yeah, and you hear the coaching right there, and he's spot on with this. It
seems to be landing more like a chalk stand follow -through clean slap, and I
think that's taking the power off of it for Saavedra.
Fight replay presented by MGM Rewards.
Take a look at this one. This might be round one.
Sat him down.
Felt like AJ.
Not a good comeback strike for Saavedra.
AJ thought he was going to finish it in round two, but not a clean strike for
him. Guy caught for clubbing.
Came back with a good one for Saavedra. Round three.
Wobbled him again. AJ tells him, get off of the table, man.
And then once again, a bit of a chopping strike for Esteban Saavedra.
Looking like it's going to go to the scorecards in favor of AJ Hintz.
This official decision brought to you by VeChain, the crypto token partner of
PowerSlap. Let's hear it, Justin.
Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds, we go to the judges' scorecards
decision. All three judges score the contest 28 -26.
We've been up here together.
But all the hallmarks of you were present in this match.
Crazy hard slaps, granite chin.
How does it feel to be back to your winning ways?
It feels like being home, man. It's good. It's real good.
I mean, unanimous decision. Did you feel like you had done enough? I know you
would obviously want more. You were clearly looking for a knockout. Did you
like you had done enough, though, and had all the confidence in the world your
hand was going to be raised? I easily did enough with that. Like, the dude
barely moved me.
He has nothing for me.
What would it have taken for you to have gotten the knockout? Because I know
that was on your mind. I mean, that's how we know you. That's how you came
the radars of everybody.
What went through your mind as you were trying to achieve that?
Honestly, if I would have missed round two, he would have been sleeping.
But that's on me, so.
Okay, well, now you've got some momentum on your side, right? That feels good.
So what's next?
Fucking everyone, dude. Who is fucking next, bro?
Maybe everybody. Everybody. Fucking same night, dude. We're happy to have you
back. Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, AJ Hintz.

That would be a massive understatement because he is more than ready. The
mission is clear, not going to be easy.

a black belt in jiu -jitsu coming off three wins in a row.
One more.

The welterweight division's most dominant champion, Anthony Babyface
is on a mission to get his title back, but Andrew Probost knows the win over
former champ is his ticket to superstardom.
It's a welterweight showdown with massive title implications as former
Anthony Babyface Blackburn meets surging contender Andrew the Big Bad Wolf
Provo. I went over Blackburn tonight to back my resume even more and put me next
in line for the world championship.
I'll show everybody tonight that I belong at the top of the welterweight
division with just curiosity and determination to come out on top.
Blackburn has built one of the strongest resumes in power slap, with six wins,
three title fight victories, and finishes of top names like Aziel
Chris Thomas.
After dropping the welterweight title to Cole Young, the Detroit striker returns
with a clear message to the division.
Baby Faith ain't going anywhere.
When it comes to Baby Faith, I am one of the best in this sport, and I will be a
legend in this game.
Coming out with a win against Andrew tonight.
Puts me in a really good place to send a warning out to everybody in power slap
coming from my belt bag.
Provost enters with momentum, confidence, and a three -fight win
power slap.
A wrestler, pro MMA fighter, and Brazilian jiu -jitsu black belt, the Big
Wolf is fresh off a win over Aziel Rodriguez and now has the chance to take
a former champion on his way to the top.
I'm going against Blackburn tonight.
He's a former champ. He just lost his belt in his last match.
I think he's good, but he's in my way, so I've got to take him down.
Professional, mixed martial arts fighter, believes a win tonight earns
title shot. Plans to call out the champ after he wins tonight.
The native of Plattsburgh, New York, moved to Central Florida not long ago,
teaching Brazilian Jiu -Jitsu and MMA at Humble Grounds BJJ Academy in Hernando,
Florida, right outside of Ocala. Yeah, he almost seemed a little frustrated
speaking with him because he felt like the last outing was a title eliminator.
He did not. get that title shot.
So going into this one here tonight, he feels like a win tonight over a former
champion like Anthony Blackburn. Absolutely puts him in line to fight for
belt next. And he feels like he's able to get that done. He feels like he's
going to be the bigger guy, the stronger guy.
Absolutely the harder hitter. This is a family man. He uses his kids as
motivation when he's away.
Yeah, speaking of kids, busy man.
Away from the power slap stage, together with his wife Tasha, they are raising
four children. His youngest is just two years old. He said time away from the
family during camp can be a little bit rough, but he's managed to do pretty
thus far at power slap.
Coming in on three straight wins is the big bad wolf, and he does know that a
win here tonight could mean a title fight next.
Anthony, babyface Blackburn, former power slap welterweight champion, lost
title to Cole Young at the end of last year. That was after.
Two title defenses.
The reign was nearly a year.
Like his opponent, he plans on calling out the champion after his victory here
tonight. But that champion would be at lightweight. He said he's going to move
on down.
He wants to take on Robert Trujillo.
Well, you can see that somewhat in the piece that we played before the walkout
where he was almost stuttering about what would be next after a win here.
And it was what you're alluding to right there, Dan.
I think he's done with... This division, I think he wants to move down. He
wasn't quite ready. He was offered actually an opportunity to fight
some point, but he wants to take his time. He wants to make sure he does the
weight cut correctly. He wants to rebound here and get that momentum
And if I'm being honest, he seemed like he was in a bit of a different place in
speaking with him. I think after going on a seventh fight on Beat Street and
then suffering that loss in his last outing, losing the belt.
He was trying to figure things out. Nothing would help him figure things out
better than getting a big win and a knockout here tonight.

Right on three. That is your measure.
All right, Big Bad Wolf up first going on three.
Baby Faith has never been knocked out in his power slap career.
One.
That's all he has.
That's all he has. That was a lot, though.
That was juicy, man. That swing had some hair on it.
Blackburn showing a lot of experience.
That one hit him hard, but look at him gathering himself, trying not to
show that he's hurt in the eyes of the judges.
Nice job eating that shot.
I don't know what he's saying. It seems good, right?
Holy smokes.
Which hand and what count?
Right on one. Right on one. Give me a measure. Right on one.
Right on one.
Right on one. That is your measure.
Right on one. All right, babyface going on one.
Was a little bit high.
Got him in the eye right there. Made a popping sound, but didn't seem as
powerful as Provost's strike.
Made him take a step back.
With FEMA, we've been high.
The butcher
wants to make a minor adjustment on the placement.
It's so difficult, right? I mean to... Blackburn
pumped up, man.
Small adjustment.
That he wants Provost to land on the target.
See if he can hit that sweet spot right here.
Said, I'm going to eat that. Go ahead and chalk it, dog.
Oh!
Replay. Yeah, it didn't seem clean.
It was almost like a push at the end. I don't know if he delayed on the back of
the split.
It was funky.
Blackburn feels confident.
Feels like he's going to knock out Provost in this next one. Take a look at
right here.
They didn't call anything.
You're good.
It's almost like he got caught when he hit the face and couldn't follow
Yeah, like you said, you got kind of stuck and then he just kind of kept
his hand rather than following through with the same momentum all the way
through the strike.
Good opportunity right here for Blackburn to even things up.
We're finished the fight.
Certainly feels confident after eating that strike that he can try to end it
right here.
Going on one again. Right on one.
Right on one, Matt.
Right on one. See if Babyface can return to his former glory.
He would love nothing more than a knockout here.
You know, it's hard to tell the damage with provos because
it's so good at reacting like it was nothing.
Playing to the judges.
Glancing through the eye right there as well with the fingertips.
Looks like Provost is starting to kind of roll with it.
Nice job with just the minor heel lift there from Babyface. Seemed a little bit
high, kind of an ice scraper. Don't stand up when you go, all right?
If you're going to stay low, just stay through, all right?
All right, let's go. Here, here. Hey, walk in. Look at your scorecards here,
tied up at 19 apiece. You gave the first round to Provost, second round to
Blackburn. If that's accurate, it's all coming down to the third round here.
Two, swing for the big bad wolf, Andrew Provost.
That was a strong shot right here.
Blackburn's got some making up to do.
Blackburn has a spin.
Yeah, he does.
Don't go high.
They said if you go high, they're going to call you clubbing, all right?
Bit of a dilemma right here for Blackburn. They're saying don't go high,
otherwise they're going to call you for clubbing.
You don't want that to get into your head and you start second guessing your
strike.
But after that strike by Provost, Blackburn's going to have to give
in this one.
Blackburn is Motown tough, man.
He is.

Might need a knockout.
He was doing one and a half. He's been going to therapy. They've been telling
him to be kinder.

he's certainly delivered.

That one got a reaction out of me. Dude, that was silly. It hurt, too.
My.
Mama liked it.
You know, he told us he had been in a plump, and it was difficult coming off
first loss of his career, which was in a title fight after defending the belt
twice. And he said, I'm coming out of it tonight, man.
He told us, even though he seemed like he was off, and it really weighed on him
losing that last outing.
Oh!
Jason Herzog is over here telling us, we're going one more round.
Sudden victory.
Wow.
Let's make it official and hear from Justin.
Ladies and gentlemen after three rounds this match remains a draw.
to recover.
How much recovery happened in these couple of minutes since that last shot?
And how much of an adrenaline dump did Blackburn just have? Because it felt
he thought that he just rode into the sunset with that victory.
Sudden death.
Round four.
And, you know, it's really interesting.
Herzog let this one go on. He saw something there in Provo that he was

could have been called. Herzog made the decision.

of the night. Thank you, Jason Herzog.
You just
don't get these type of things in MMA. They would have this in kickboxing, in
glory.
A sudden victory type round. We get it here tonight, Power Slap 20.
Anthony Blackburn clawed himself back into this matchup.
All right, Provo needs a little extra chalk on the hands. Let's see what kind
thoughts he has now after getting sat down by Babyface.
And remember, he landed an incredibly solid shot on Blackburn in the last
as well. So both of them have taken some damage.
Right on three.
One.
Two.
Oh, my God. What a shot.
Provost with the comeback of all comebacks. You have to be kidding me.
Wow.
Provost was in the same position that Blackburn was in for a second.
Comeback accomplished.

Blackburn.
That was incredible.
Blackburn is still out.
One of the greatest comeback slaps that we've ever seen. I
mean.
I'm just trying to go through the course of events that we just witnessed.

might have been over for Provost.

It was a draw.
Sudden victory.
And Andrew Provost put... Everything he had into that one.
Blackburn not able to eat that one.
Blackburn was on Mars.
Yeah, he's still on Mars.
Thank God for Jason Herzog. Look at Charlie.
He saw the provost was still there.
Still ready to compete.
Epic. What an epic performance from Andrew Provo.
Look at Bordeaux.
He doesn't even know what just happened.
Wow.
You've got a feel for a guy like Anthony Blackburn. A staple in this sport, a
former champion.
The highs of highs and the lows of lows, I mean, that's combat sports.
And that was all within a three -minute span for Provost. He thought he had won.
I mean, it's our partner, Mike Bisping, isn't here right now, but he can speak
to this. When he fought Anderson Silva, and Anderson Silva thought he won the
fight, and the fight, and he celebrated like he won.
Fight kept going on.
Bisping showed the toughness and grit, came back and won that fight, and
did the same tonight.

Ladies and gentlemen, referee Jason Herzog calls a stop to the match. It's
sudden victory, declaring the winner by knockout, Andrew Provost.
I'm here with the winner, Andrew Provost.
Holy shit.
That was one of the craziest knockouts we have ever seen in Power Slap. I need
to know exactly what was going through your mind before you delivered that
sudden death slap.
Well, I just knew I had to hit him really, really hard.
That's it? I mean, the intensity in your eyes said more than that.
Yeah, I just knew I had to land really hard on him and put him down and out.
To be in the position where just the round before, you had almost been
out, to come back a couple minutes later, learning there's a sudden death
and delivering a ridiculous slap, that, like I said, one of the most brutal
knockouts we've ever seen.
How does that feel?
It feels great.
I just knew I had to hit him really hard, and I know that my chin can take
How does your hand feel? I saw you shaking it out a little bit.
It's pretty sore.
Okay, well, that was crazy.
We want to see you again soon. I have to imagine you want to be back in action
again soon.
What's next for you?
Title shot.
You're a man of few words right now.
Are you just absorbing all that just happened?
Yeah, he hit me pretty hard, so, you know, I'm pretty beat up.
Hey, well, congratulations. That was incredible. We cannot wait to see you
here again. Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by knockout in sudden death,
Andrew Provost.

He knew he was done.
Just incredible.
I mean, you think we're going to see some of that on social media for the
couple of months?
We have an incredible comeback.
Seeing a knockout like that in a long, long time under those circumstances in a
sudden victory round. It was the drama, the buildup. I mean, Provost, let's not
forget, he was hurt. He was injured early in this matchup, came back.
We thought the fight was over in the third round. He comes back and gets his
win. Again, thank you to Jason Herzog for letting that go on.
The final two fights of the evening are on the way. One title fight, one
heavyweight title eliminator. This should be an absolute banger. Here's
with more on the two men in our coming event.
Dan, thank you. Dorian Perez is not messing around in his quest to reinsert
himself back into the heavyweight title picture. He's been lifting heavier with
a focus on his legs to generate more power and on his core for rotation and
accuracy. He calls Nate Bernard a friend, but once he gets on that stage,
all business.
Bernard feels the exact same. He is expecting a war, and since his respect
Perez will have no bearing on the beating he is prepared to put on his
He is itching to challenge for the title and knows one way to do that will be
sitting down to serving the piece for the first time in his power slap career.
Dan?
Thank you, Charlie. Tomorrow?

Perez has a 68 % chance to beat Nate Bernard.
It was only a matter of time before this pair of former title challengers
collide as Dorian Disturbing the Peace Perez stares down fellow heavyweight
the Buffalo Soldier Bernard.
It's an East Coast -West Coast heavyweight collision between two former
challengers as Dorian Disturbing the Peace Perez meets Nate the Buffalo
Bernard. The match that I'm expecting to face against Dorian is going to be a
battle. He wants it as bad as me. I want it as bad as him.
It's going to be very exciting.
I'm going against Nate Bernard.
Tonight is his retirement party, so congratulations, Nate.
Happy for you, buddy.
Perez has proven to be one of the most reliable threats at heavyweight since
early days of Powers Class.
With seven wins over names like Darius, Mata Verona, James Stonier, and Kono
Pau, plus a five -round title fight already on his resume, disturbing the
has left no doubt about his grit, power, and the belief that he is one win away
from a second shot at gold.
This fight is huge as far as title implications go.
You know, I've got to solidify my spot at the top.
If you're number one, you've got to be able to beat anybody underneath you, and
I'll prove that every single time.
Bernard came storming into Powerslap in 2023, stacking back -to -back stoppages
that earned him a heavyweight title shot.
The Buffalo native has faced some of the division's heaviest hitters, and after
a sudden victory win over Aaron Turner, the Buffalo soldier returns with renewed
momentum and his eyes back on top of the division.
I'm here to go ahead and handle business. That's all it's about. No
No, no, no jokes.
Straight business.
He is the Buffalo Soldier, Nate Bernard, coming in with a 3 -3 record in power
slap. Every time he makes the walk, I think about his debut.
A first -round knockout of Stevie Ray Payne. It happened on the morning show.
Daniel Cormier was sitting on the desk.
That was his introduction to power slap.
Crazy, crazy strength.
A former college football player at Southwestern Oklahoma State currently
working as a security guard for the Buffalo Bay.
Yeah, and then he followed up that debut with another knockout in the third
round against Dwayne Crespo. Big man, Nate Bernard.
Lots of experience. And he's coming into this match with a bit of a chip on his
shoulder. It kind of feels like...
He's not getting the respect he deserves in this sport that wants to come here
and earn it. He also spoke about the toughness of Dorian Perez. Dorian Perez
never been sat down in all of his matches.
He's made it a point to say, I'm going to be the first guy to sit him down.
And he was honest. He said, even with the win here, I don't know if I'm up
in line for a title shot. I might need another, but I'm looking to get things
going first with a big win here tonight.
historian disturbing the piece Perez one of the more seasoned fighters on the
power slap roster this is his 10th power slap match he's been here since the
inception of the promotion he has been nearly to the top of the mountain
fighting for a title against Damien DeBell in December of 2024 been training
with his younger brother Isaiah who's a piece in his own right at just 14 years
old the kid's dead lifting 425 pounds Hearing Dorian talk about his little
brother, incredibly proud.
He would love nothing more than to get his third win in a row to make little
proud of him. Yeah, I mean, I know this is about Dorian, but shout out to his
little bro, 14 years old, 6 '3", 425 -pound deadlift. You know, he's got good
genes in that family. But Dorian Perez, disturbing the peace.
You look at him, seven and two in power slap, one no contest. Nobody has been
able to crack his chin. Look, they're doing rock, paper, scissors up here
this walk.
And it ends with a little love. But Dorian Perez spoke about this match is
highly anticipated.
They've been talking about this matchup for quite a while. We finally get it
here tonight.

Weight -wise coming in at about the same. The neck on Bernard, a big one, 20
inches, has a significant hand -size advantage as well. He is the underdog.

Polymarket, the world's largest prediction market.
Here we go, guys.
All right, our co -main event is officially underway.
Right hand on three. Okay, we're going right hand on three. You must measure.
Okay. Hold on.
Stay right there. Former title challenger will go on three with the
shaven head.
He's what I like to call a meat and potato slapper.
Working like.
Good.
Consistent.
Felt like it was a little high.
Take a look at this right here.
Didn't look high to me.
Yeah.
That looked pretty good.
Yeah, it looked clean. Looked like he kind of pushed it.
Didn't impress Nate Bernard.
Historically, Dorian Perez isn't really known as a knockout guy. He's a guy that
can go into the deep waters. No one has yet been able to sit him down.
And he went five rounds with the champion, Damian DeBell.
Which is saying a lot, because DeBell's a monster.
Bernard lost in the first round to Damian DeBell in a title fight as well.
both of these guys, former title challengers, he carries an internal
Says he's been feeling overlooked.
Had a huge win his last time out against Aaron Turner in Sutton Victory.
That's your measure.
One.
Two.
Whoa.
What's up?
Strong opening round right there for Nate Bernard.
Now, what I said.
Here's another look at it. Just a clean slap.
But Dorian just eats everything.
Such a strong chin.
Took a big breath before.
Powerful strike from Nate Bernard.
Perez doing what he always does, eating these shots.
There's a smack between both men.
These guys both felt that this matchup has been one years in the making.
Finally standing toe -to -toe with one another.
Which feels like a title eliminator. Number one versus number two.
Just two knockouts in seven career
wins for Dorian Perez.
Would love to get one here.
One.
Two.
Oh. Uh -oh.
Perez clowning.
Three. Four.
Five. Six.
Seven. Eight.
Perez.
He's a wild man.
wasn't impressed with the opening round strike. He felt all of that one.
He was definitely stumbled here in round two.
Bernard is just a
giant of a man.
There's Perez.
Taking a dive himself.
Power
meter
down a little bit for the Buffalo Soldier.
How does he respond right here going on three?
late strike.
It's just so hard to move.
It's hard to hit them exactly how you hit them the last time, alright?
Line up just like you did. You were perfect.
Don't fucking change a thing from the last one, alright? You go when you're
ready, alright?
We got 44 seconds.
If you're ready to go, you can go. It's up to you.
You've already hit them.
Just clean.
It was a perfect strike.
Keone is feeling pretty confident in his fighter, Dorian Perez, that he hurt him
in the last round.
Round three presented by Lucy Breakers. Nicotine pouches with flavor that slaps
harder and lasts longer.
Looking to put him out in round three.
Both men obviously going to need a big strike.
Certainly feels like it's all tied up.
Tied for the second most wins in power slap history with seven.
A decorated heavyweight contender.
Looking for the knockout here.
Two.
Oh.
Don't touch it. Two.
Three.
Four.
Five. Did not like that strike.
Seven. Put him on a stinky leg.
Second straight time.
Final chance here for the Buffalo Soldier.
Not flying.
He's weak.
Exact same placement as the second round as well.
Fedorian Perez.
Found that sweet spot.
Will it be enough?
Nate Bernard said, no one has sat down Dorian Perez in all of his bouts. I want
to be the first. He's going to have to do it here.
It's all or nothing here for Nate Bernard.
He needs a strip sack and a touchdown for the victory. We're going to have
another big comeback in this matchup.
There
are
a few men in this sport who are built like disturbing the peace.
Dorian Perez has never been knocked down.
We'll carry that into his next battle.
Yeah, his ability to take damage is his superpower.
Solid strikes, but these are strikes from Nate Bernard that would have
definitely wobbled at least most men in his weight class, but Dorian Perez is
deep.
Both of these guys just built different.
An impressive performance from Nate Bernard, but it certainly looked like
on the losing end of this after being wobbled a couple of times by Dorian
Round one felt like a feeler, a feeler -outer for Dorian Perez. Round two and
round three, he found the button.
Placement in the exact same spot full -time. He was able to hurt him.
These guys are buddies.
They send each other memes on Instagram. They knew they were going to have to go
toe -to -toe at some point in their power slap careers, and that came
The official decision brought to you by VeChain, crypto token partner of
PowerClap. Take it away, Judd.
Ladies and gentlemen, after three rounds, we go to the judges' scorecards
decision. All three judges score the contest 29 -26.
I know you two are close, but, you know, business is business, and you handled
business.
Was that the match you were anticipating?
Oh, yeah. That was everything that I thought it was going to be.
He's a fucking beast.
He's a monster, and there's nothing to take away from him with that.
Actually, I bully all my opponents. It was really hard to find something to
fun of him about.
Well, you know, you now have bragging rights, and, you know, you showed off
everything you could do. You said that was the goal coming into this.
You wanted to show off your strong slap. You wanted to show off a great chin.
You did just that.
Was there anything you wish you could have done differently, or is that
the game plan is how you practice?
I just try to get better every time, try to give you guys a better show every
time, and I'm trying to put my blood on the line for you guys. This is all for
the fans.
Still never been knocked down?
Oh, yeah, never been knocked down, never been knocked out. There's only one
thing I haven't done in this sport yet, and it's put a belt around my waist, so
let's fucking do it. I was going to say, are you ready to run it back with
DeBell? Because that's what's next.
Oh, yeah. I'm ready to go. Let's go, Bell. Me and you, baby.
Let's do the fucking man dance.
Yeah!
I love the emotion.
Congratulations. Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, Dorian Perez.

Robert Trujillo is a student of the game, an active coach for our power slap
events, a pro MMA fighter with a 5 -on -1 record, and a knockout artist who
steal your soul facing a relative newcomer to the sport, Hayden Johnson,
Diego native first on the scene with a one -slap knockout of March and now
himself one strike away from wearing gold. Two lightweight powerhouses ready
go toe -to -toe for the belts.
VeChain Power Slap 20. Trujillo versus Johnson is presented by Monster Energy.
Unleash the beast.
Our main event has arrived, ladies and gentlemen.
Tonight's prediction odds are brought to you by Polymarket, the world's largest
prediction market.
And the champion, Robert Trujillo, with an 85 % chance to win, going up against
the relative newcomer, Hayden Johnson.
Tonight's headliner is upon us as lightweight champion Robert Trujillo
belt on the line against Hayden Johnson, who is just one strike away from power
slap immortality.
Once I walk out, I see the crowd, I see the light, I see my people. I get that
feeling to my body, like, all right, this is what I'm here for. And when I
on that stage, I'm just ready to put everyone to sleep.
In this lightweight division, you know, I think I'm going to retire as a champ.
You know, I think it's going to be years before they find someone to my level. I
definitely know all the guys they got right now. I could run through them. I
could take them all in one night. That's how confident I am.
Robert Trujillo is going to take a hit that he cannot withstand.
Period. He's never felt power like he's about to feel. When I hit people, they
hit the ground.
Oh, no!
Are you serious?
Hayden Johnson with the glazed...
I'm pumped, dude. I'm built different. None of these guys are going to stand in
front of me.
Tonight I'll be going up against Hayden Johnson.
Definitely don't think this guy deserves a shot at my belt.
But, you know, I give him his respect for at least stepping up there against
He had the balls to say he'll go against me, you know, which unfortunately for
him is not going to end well. I expect to go on there and be one and done.
Facial eviction notice from Robert Trujillo.
Hayden Johnson, I know you're confident. You're excited about this. You're
getting shot to the top. But, you know, it's unfortunate for you because just
right where you started, your train started going up. I'm going to derail it
that fast. I don't want to put you to sleep tonight.
Yeah, Robert is an exceptional athlete, and nobody has really given him a run
for his money at all. But I think I got the answer for that tonight.
To knock out Robert Trujillo and take that lightweight championship would mean
so much to me. And just the shockwave that it would send through the sport and
to be able to create a moment like that, it would feel very great. It would feel
very rewarding.
All I got to say, lightweight division, I'm here.
You better bring your absolute A game tonight because I'm coming at you with
everything I got and you have not stood across from someone like me.
Tonight, I want to make it very clear who the new champion is and undoubtedly
Robert Trujillo.
It'll feel so sweet to hear and new.
Dayton Johnson with the title shot just two months after his Power Slap debut.
He said he watched Power Slap with his father while his father was battling ALS
in a hospice after his dad passed away. He met Kono Powell in church.
That inspired him to become a part of Power Slap after he went to the combine.
He is now fighting.
for the belt. Yeah, and you know, a lot of people, when they hear that they're
fighting against somebody like Robert Trujillo, it's daunting.
It's such a tough path.
He's been so quality, pound for pound, probably the best we have in the sport.
In order to beat someone as good as Robert Trujillo, you have to be
You have to have that confidence and a huge self -belief. And that's all the
things that Hayden Johnson possesses. A powerful guy.
But he goes into this...
Almost just thinking, this is meant to be. This is what I spoke into existence.
He talked about his story. He used to watch the reality show, Power Slap, with
his father when he was in hospice. And he told his dad, I'm going to do this
day. And his dad would chuckle and say, he'd be good at it. When his father
passed away, he did an application for the Combine. He got the call. He made a
huge statement in his debut with a first -round knockout. Ripped off his shirt,
showed the physique, and he got the call. He comes into this.
He's not scared. He's not intimidated.
He truly believes, Dan, that he's going to walk out with the belt around his
waist tonight.
The lightweight champion of the world, Robert The Real Deal.
Trujillo, his first match in almost a year, been active as a PowerSlam coach,
working a couple of part -time jobs as a youth counselor.
One of the best MMA fighters we have in PowerSlam. Hasn't fought in a couple of
years. His training partner is trying to get him to fight again, but he is
solely focused on PowerSlam for the last two years. He is dangerous, he is
powerful, and he is coming in on a six -fight win streak those last two fights.
both for the time yeah i mean he's talking about his he's a great mma
and his goal is to be in the ufc one day but right now not being in the ufc he's
making so much money in power slap he's like why would i go back to mma and make
less money he's the champion
He's one of the most respected guys we have seen step foot on this stage. You
take a look at this 6 -5 win streak.
Knockout, knockout, TKO, TKO.
Unanimous decision against Dakota McGregor. They had an immediate rematch,
then he knocked them out.
He's got a perfect record. When I say the word perfect, he's also so
and he's never committed a foul. That is so huge.
Fouls. Such an important aspect of this sport and just the consistency that he
stays clean and the way cut that he comes back into the stage so big has
him so dominant in this sport.

Winner of the coin toss and striking first, Robert Trujillo.
It's Trey Jalisco, an authentic Cerveza Dorado, and the official beer of Power
Strike.
All right, here we go, gentlemen.
All right, Terry Hatley getting us going for our five -round main event, a
lightweight title on the line. Robert Trujillo trying to defend for a second
time.
Johnson coming out right away, trying to tuck that chin.
They're going to clean that up.
Trujillo's pointing it out as well.
Take a look at the amount of weight that Robert Trujillo put back on. These guys
look the same size during the weigh -in, but he cut so much weight.
He's expecting himself to be around 175 today.
That rounded hunchback is something I haven't seen very often.
See if it pays off.
Finger licking good. Finger licking good. And a lot of
people flicking each other off tonight.
It's a new thing apparently.
Really biting down on his mouth guard.
The voice you're hearing is that of the butcher, Brandon Bordeaux.
In the blue corner with Hayden Johnson saying, you've got to make him feel you
here. Yeah, and Terry Hadley is still talking to him about that defensive
posture. Watch his shoulders for us on the next one.
Keep his shoulders down, please, shoulders down.
Trujillo's been another guy that's been so consistent on defense, being able to
eat and absorb shots.
You know, there's a lot of guys with an MMA background in this sport, but there
are very few that have had the success of Robert Trujillo. This is a guy who
could easily be on the Contender Series at some point. He is a real deal
fighter.
One.
needs to be careful there. He was leaning.
Yeah, and that's exactly what Quinonez is telling him here.
Leaned a little bit into it, I believe. There it is.
Give him a warning.
Yeah, they let him slide on that one.
His coach, Quinonez, is telling him, if you were leaning a bit, be cautious.
Can't afford a penalty.
a high -profile match like this.
So you give Trujillo the first round here.
I did. Are set to start round two.
Did you hear Harry Hadley been on tonight, bro? Oh,
he's awesome.
Yeah,
Hayden Johnson's trying to tuck his chin.
There seemed to be some movement before that.
We'll get a look at it here.
He was saying he's pulling his shoulders up like he's doing shrugs.
Yeah,
there was some movement.
Oh, and it deflected. His hands deflected off of the shoulder movement.
This could be a penalty.
All right, so both of them with a
little bit of a flinch.
I think warnings for each. You say an eye for an eye. Both of them had a
movement.
There's not much wiggle room from here on out in terms of the flinching. Yeah.
Hey,
there's that self -belief I spoke about.
Concrete Cowboy Hayden Johnson.
Not scared at all. Trying to speak it into existence.
One, two, three.
Fair enough.
Stepping. Had some heat on it. It had some heat on it.
Foul. Stepping.
Here we go. Come here, Blue.
Oh, that's huge.
You know, he picked him up a little bit. He picks up that left pivot foot there,
right? Blue, one point stepping.
Blue, one point stepping. Oh, and then his, yeah.
You have to call that.
Both feet had to be stepping.
But you have to. That's the correct call.
OK,
listen, listen.
Final recover.
Listen to me. Listen to me. Both of you are rolling your shoulders up. No more.
Keep your shoulders down. I don't care if you want to flex your neck, whatever,
but do not bring yourself. You're deflecting the blow. I can't hit you.
deflecting the blow. Keep it down. Here we go. Get set.
Low down. Right there. Do not bring your shoulders up.
Okay, right hand on three.
Right hand on three. There's your measure.
Gary Hatley taking control.
Two.
Oh!
Line him up. Sit him down.
He doesn't know where he's at right now.
No, we're done.
That's it.
That's it. Trujillo does it again.
too consistent, too strong.
His chin absorbs everything and his power shines through every time.
He's the best in his sport.
He's so tough.
He's so strong and lightweight.
Seven in a row. They couldn't get anybody who wanted to fight him until
Johnson said yes.
And now you see why.
He is a dominant force in this sport.
Well, I don't want to take any shine away from what we just saw from the
champion, Robert Trujillo, but a guy that I'd like to see is Brian Scambler.
He showed out tonight, but let's take a look at this knockout. Tonight's Monster
Knockout is brought to you by Monster Energy. Unleash the beat.
Big strike in round number three. Seals the deal for the champion.
That slow fall, but when you saw that hand come up.
You knew it was probably over. A lot of guys, when they get kind of phased out
like that, that stiff arm comes out.
Terry Hadley has saw enough.
Hayden Johnson came in here with a lot of self -belief.
Wasn't phased at all by the hype around Robert Trujillo, but the power was just
too much tonight.
You know, I guess you can see why he's focusing on this sport.
Instead of MMA, he's just so, so dominant. He's found his niche. I mean,
A lot of people don't quite... Who have never watched Powerslap, they don't
understand all the subtleties involved with the fouls and being able to pull up
the strike. And Robert Trujillo has it figured out.
This official decision brought to you by VeChain, the crypto token partner of
Powerslap.
Ladies and gentlemen, referee Kerry Halle calls a stop to the match in round
number three. Declaring the winner by knockout.
And Dale, power slap, lightweight champion of the world.
Robert, the real Dale Trujillo.
I'm here for the winner and still the lightweight champion, Robert Trujillo.
Man, you are unstoppable. I mean, even when you had your opponent.
In your face, saying you hit like a bitch, you can take whatever.
You don't listen. You delivered amazing slaps, knocked him out, still the champ.
Yeah, I feel like that's what I need.
As a champion, I get a hit first now, but I feel like when I come out here and
get hurt, when I get hit, that's when it brings out the dog in me.
And, you know, I just said after he said that, I just show him what real power I
can bring.
What goes through your mind when you've got someone chirping in your face and
you just know what you're capable of?
and you're about to deliver a slap like you did, what exactly goes through your
mind? I hear him screaming, and I just know exactly what he's going to hit me
with, and nothing's going to bother me. So I know I just got to hit him harder
each round, and I'm going to go fucking put his ass out.
All right, well, still the champ.
Who do you want next?
I'm ready for whoever.
I walk around at 175, give me the winner of the 170 match.
Give me Brian Scambler. He looked good tonight.
I'm ready for whoever.
But most of all, don't bet against me. I know there's a fucking loser out there
who put $2 ,000 on Hayden.
That boy's getting fucking kicked out of his house next month. I know that.
Anything else you'd like to say before we wrap this thing up?
I just want to give a big shout out. My parents, my son are here.
My grandpa's here in Vegas. It's his birthday yesterday.
Happy birthday, grandpa. I love you.
A big shout -out to my daughter back home. She graduated preschool today, and
couldn't be there, so I had to come put on for her. I love all you guys.
Well, congratulations once again. A phenomenal performance.

for his son Carter? He's going to look for him right now. That is now seven
in a row for the lightweight champion. There's Carter there.
Good job, Pop.
Way to get it done.
Yeah, I think he said the first time his son has seen him perform and watched
his dad go out there, put on a show like that, get the knockout. Two belts.
on the shoulder and around the waist. Such an impressive performance.
And what I love about this guy is not only did he perform, he called out the
we were talking about and hyping up so much tonight.
First round knockoff of Brian Scambler. He said, yeah, he had an impressive
performance. I'll take him next.
Yeah, Scambler looked great tonight. That would be an unbelievable matchup.
there is no doubt in my mind the toughest test for Robert Trujillo to
But this guy is dominant. I would say Damian DeBell and Trujillo, probably the
most dominant champions in this sport today.
I would agree. I would agree. Pound for pound, maybe it's Trujillo.
So impressive, hasn't figured out.
And props to Hayden Johnson. You know, a lot of people didn't want to answer the
phone call when they heard who the opponent could be with Robert Trujillo.
Hayden Johnson did that, gave it his best effort, just came up short tonight.
