Power Slap, a new combat sport where athletes take turns slapping each other, is gaining popularity and could become the next big thing in the world of fighting. Mixed martial artist Sheena Bathory, who has competed in Power Slap, recently had to have her breast implants removed after one exploded during training.
In a world where combat sports continue to evolve, a new and brutal discipline has emerged: Power Slap. This extreme sport involves two athletes taking turns slapping each other with full force, wearing only hand wraps and ear guards. The goal is to knock out the opponent or force them to surrender.
Power Slap has gained popularity in recent months, with millions of views on social media and a growing number of competitors. The sport's founder, Dana White, is known for his success with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and is betting on Power Slap becoming the next big thing.
Power Slap: Is It the Next UFC?
One of the most talked-about stories in Power Slap is that of Sheena Bathory, a Hungarian mixed martial artist who competes in the sport. In August 2023, Bathory suffered a serious injury during training when one of her breast implants exploded.
Bathory initially noticed something wrong with her body but couldn't figure out what was going on. Doctors initially couldn't diagnose the problem, but an MRI later revealed that one of her implants had ruptured.

Bathory underwent surgery to remove her implants the following day. She is currently recovering from the procedure and is three pounds lighter as a result. Bathory says she is back in the gym but has had to postpone any potential fights until November.
Despite her injury, Bathory has had a successful start to her Power Slap career, going 3-0 with two knockouts. She competed in the first-ever women's Power Slap match in October 2023, where she knocked out Christine Wolmarans.
Bathory is a seasoned combat sports veteran, having also competed in the Lingerie Fighting Championships. She is known for her aggressive style and powerful striking.
It remains to be seen whether Power Slap will reach the same level of popularity as the UFC. However, the sport has a lot of potential, and its brutal and exciting nature has captured the attention of combat sports enthusiasts. With experienced fighters like Sheena Bathory competing, Power Slap is poised to make a name for itself in the world of fighting.
