UFC/Power Slap
Power Slap is officially leaving Rumble. On Monday, Dana White announced that his slap-fighting league would move to YouTube after signing a massive marketing deal with cryptocurrency firm VeChain.
“I wanted to let everyone know that Vechain is the new title partner of Power Slap. Vechain will power Power Slap events, they are a world-leading public blockchain platform, and for the first time ever, I’m happy to announce that Power Slap events will be live and free on YouTube.”

According to Forbes, Vechain signed a 6-year $76 million deal with Power Slap.
Power Slap events previously aired on Rumble, which paid $30 million/year for the rights to broadcast events.
White made it clear that he was betting on himself with Power Slap’s move to YouTube.
“You know who I like to bet on? Me,” White told Forbes in an interview. “We own everything, and we control everything. We are basically creating our own destiny.”
