Watch Power Slap’s 33 Stone star get knocked out moments after UFC legend Michael Bisping predicted his demise
“Slap For Cash” was knocked out on its Power Slap debut and UFC icon Michael Bisping saw it coming.
The internet celebrity – real name Adam Hutchinson – ate chocolate despite weighing an incredible 33 stone (461 pounds) ahead of his match against Dayne Viernes.
“Da Hawaiian Hitman” came in nearly 100 pounds lighter, but still carried 26.2 stone (367 pounds) in the first-ever super heavyweight bout in Power Slap history.
Despite boasting about starting the Slap Fighting revolution and training with combat sports stars Tyson Fury and Nate Diaz, “Slap For Cash” failed to impress on the big stage.
After being dropped with the first shot he fired, the American bravely got back to his feet, but it only seemed like a matter of time before he fell asleep.
Bisping, who was commentating on the fight, was so confident of what was to come that he was trying to make bets with his broadcast colleagues.
“$20! I say ‘Slap For Cash’ fall asleep,” the former UFC middleweight champion said as Viernes lined up his second strike of the night.
Moments later, Hutchinson was knocked down by a massive shot that knocked him out, but the referee bizarrely started counting rather than calling the fight off immediately.
“There’s no point in counting. It’s done! It’s finish! Stick a fork on him, he’s over,” Bisping added as “Slap For Cash” stared wide-eyed at the floor in a scene that will likely be repeated in Power Slap’s second season.
“Slap for Cash” takes credit for starting the slap fight craze after working with boxing and MMA superstars.
“There were no slapping videos on the internet before I posted my stuff. I started all of this. I knocked out over 60 people with the ‘Slap for Cash’ thing,” Hutchinson said in an interview posted on the UFC YouTube channel ahead of the fight.
“I come from a boxing background and was in Tyson Fury’s camp for a few weeks last year. I’ve been friends with Nick and Nate Diaz for ten years.
Dana White’s transition to Slap Fighting was plagued with controversy, even before his first show, as the UFC president was caught on camera punching his wife on New Year’s Eve.
MMA reporter Ariel Helwani called for White’s resignation and the league’s abolition, but he instead followed up with Power Slap which shocked and appalled many in equal measure.
The new league faced more criticism when UFC veteran Eric Spicely revealed he had been offered just $2,000 (£1,624) to go on the show and take unsupervised shots at the head.
Despite all the backlash, White insists his new league is here to stay and recently claimed it surpasses the UFC, WWE and NFL in terms of social media views.
“I don’t know if you’ve watched this, but on TikTok, you know, we average 10 million views per post,” he said in February.
“To put it in perspective, WWE makes 1.5 million, UFC makes 770,000, NFL makes 545,000, we make 10 million.”
