Dana White has many endeavors outside of the UFC. However, his Power Slap League made headlines other than those of the UFC. Many accuse the Power Slap League of its health risks and low pay. Now, one of the athletes had his weight cut go wrong.

One of the major negatives of professional MMA is extreme weight cutting. More than the fight itself, weight-cutting has caused more damage to fighters. Nevertheless, many fighters have excessive weight cuts to gain an advantage. Power Slap did not have any weight-cutting problems before but now one of the fights ended up in the hospital after an excessive weight cut.

Many UFC champions cut huge amounts of weight. Former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, and retired UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov cut huge amounts of weight. Current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev also cuts a lot of weight.

On the other hand, some fighters fight close to their natural weight. Colby Covington is the best example of it. It is one of the reasons why he has exceptional cardio. Merab Dvalishvili is another example. He has said that he could maintain a weight of 125lbs. However, he competes at bantamweight, where he has an advantage in cardio.
