Dana White's Power Slap takes a swing at Lingerie Fighting Championship after debut of Power Spank
According to MMA Junkie, a cease and desist letter was sent to the Lingerie Fighting Championships by the Power Slap attorneys after the LFC debuted Power Spank during an event in Florida last month.
Key points
- The LFC called Power Spank a parody that is protected speech under the First Amendment in response to the cease and desist letter.
- And let’s be honest, a spank is a lot more fun to watch than a slap." The butt-slapping parody isn't just a gimmick.
- The Power Spank portion of the event featured a butt-slapping competition between scantily-clad women.
Power Slap, co-owned by UFC's Dana White, would like Power Spank to stop using that name.
Shaun Donnelly, the CEO of LFC, said in a statement that they won't be bullied into backing down, reports MMA Junkie: "We respect Power Slap and its founders, but we will not be bullied into abandoning protected speech.
Additional details
- "We watched one of our fighters get seriously hurt (at Power Slap) …" Donnelly alleged.
- "Power Spank is our answer: same energy, same theatrics, none of the brain damage.
- Power Spank proves you can still pack a house without packing an ambulance.".
- The apparent upcoming court battle isn’t over the right of there to be slapping and spanking events, it reportedly has to do with the name.
- It appears that for both to live in harmony there's going to be a battle between the two organizations in court first.
