Dana White’s Power Slap Takes a Swing at Lingerie Fighting Championship Over Power Spank Debut
Dispute centers on the name
Power Slap, co-owned by UFC’s Dana White, wants the Lingerie Fighting Championship to stop using the name Power Spank. The report says the issue could lead to a court battle between the organizations.
According to MMA Junkie, attorneys for Power Slap sent LFC a cease-and-desist letter after the Florida event. The reported objection concerns the branding, rather than the existence of slapping and spanking competitions.
LFC calls it parody
The Power Spank segment featured a butt-slapping contest involving scantily clad women. LFC responded to the letter by describing the segment as parody protected by the First Amendment. The promotion has vowed to fight back, though the report does not provide further details about any legal filing or response from Power Slap.
A clash between promotions
The dispute follows Power Spank’s debut at an LFC event in Florida last month. The account frames the conflict as a potential legal fight over the name used for the event segment.
Power Slap is co-owned by Dana White, while the Lingerie Fighting Championship staged the parody contest. The two sides’ positions leave the naming dispute unresolved.
