On the Monday Morning Podcast, renowned stand-up comic, and podcaster, Bill Burr appeared and discussed his views on Dana White’s Power Slap: Road to the title. The power slapping tournament started officially airing on TBS with the first episode airing on Jan 18.

“The only thing I will say that I’m not a fan of is this new slap fight s—t that people are doing,” Burr said. “I just think nowadays with all the knowledge that we have about concussions and CTE and all of that … to just sit there and let somebody slap you that hard across the f—king face,” Burr added.

Burr criticized the sport for not letting participants defend themselves. “Like, how many times can you honestly do that?” Bill Burr continued. “I don’t think there’s a professional fighter out there that says that they would do that for a living. Just for the simple fact that you have to let yourself get hit that hard and you can’t defend, you can’t move your head or anything, you have to just stand there,” Burr added further.
