Following UFC Vegas 73, tune in to the Post-Fight Press Conference to hear the athletes take questions from the media.
foreign [Music] it was just two months ago that history was made at powerslap one the first ever Champions were crowned and now three of them set to defend their titles right here in Las Vegas middleweight champion John the machine Dave is more than ready to defend his strap and how about this guy AJ Hintz proved in March that he is already one of the best slappers in the entire world and it’s back to back main events for the heavyweight king of course I’m talking about Wolverine and it is my pleasure to be joined in our slap Studios by minty bets our power slap vetting expert and former UFC welterweight Alan Joe band it’s coming up guys it’s coming up really really soon Wednesday the 24th of this month live and free on Rumble at 9 00 PM eastern time it’s so easy to find you

and win yourself some money minty yeah absolutely as we saw in the main card for powerslap one big dogs cashed in for us the Wolverine plus 250 over Darius the destroyer and AJ hins plus 275 over Vern Kathy let’s just say if you parlayed these two you would have been a very happy better after powerslap one yeah I would say so power slap one super energy in this building do in large part Alan to the unpredictable nature of this sport very unpredictable right you don’t know what’s going to happen when a lot of two big men get up there with a lot of power but it’s not predictable Knockouts that the fans seem to love that’s what they come back for you see some of the celebrities coming out Mark Wahlberg hezboola and then we even have some of the UFC guys making that crossover the transition come Michael Chandler could not stay in his seat during some of those Knockouts last season yeah he was loving it of course it’s going to be uh starting at 9 00 p.m on Rumble let’s take a look at the main card it is absolutely stacked how about super heavyweight monsters for the first time the Hawaiian Hitman Dane viernes taking on SLAP for cash the social media sensation both of these guys tipping the scales at 400 pounds John the machine Davis taking on Wesley drain for the middleweight title AJ hits keep your eye on this guy he’s special against Russell Rivero who looks like he’s chiseled out of granite and then the heavyweight title can Wolverine do it again against his former assistant coach Damien DeBell defending his title for the first time is Wolverine after that huge upset of Darius the destroyer at powerslap one it was a huge upset because he had lost to the Destroyer three times previously the only man to have ever beaten Wolverine he got his Redemption redemption in fact you could see this huge knockout what did he do he added size Danny put on 25 30 pounds to back up that power now he has the power to reinforce it he already had a solid chin the man in 15 fights has never been knocked out he relies on that chain and now he has to power to back it up and he’s facing his former assistant coach imagine Bill Belichick getting ready to slap Josh McDaniel back in the day I mean this is crazy these guys are buddies I love the football references you see these guys he’s a huge man you see that huge wind-up that he has that’s how he gets the job done a lot of times if man is a 78 inch reach so to put that in perspective he’s 250 pounds 78 eight inch reach that’s in UFC terms like a Derrick Lewis like a giardino erosion strip so you see where the power comes from he’s a big guy he knows how to slap hard and he’s a young guy too he’s only got four or five competitions he hasn’t taken a lot of wear and tear in the chin so he’s fresh out the gates yeah you have one guy who’s the Wiley veteran very experienced going against the other guy who has supreme power in Damien DeBell yeah absolutely Damien DeBell is impressive I mean he’s got a lot to prove because as you guys mentioned he served as the assistant coach for Wolverine now facing him I mean a lot is expected from him and as for Wolverine he’s riding that high off of defeating his Kryptonite finally in power slap one so this is a highly anticipated matchup well we know that coin toss is important but it’s not everything and power slap so far we’ve had 70 matches 52 percent of the time the winners of the coin toss have gone on to win the fight so it’s basically 50 50. 19 of the matches have ended in a first round KO by the coin toss us winner so we know the oddsmakers are looking at the coin toss winner which in this case is Damien DeBell he wins so he’s a minus 186 favorite but there’s really a whole lot more uh to who wins the fight than just the coin toss yeah absolutely I mean the line swing like crazy after the coin toss result but obviously you want to win the coin toss but it is not everything in fact three of our current title holders lost the coin toss and ended up winning the match so this is a great opportunity to make some money on the dogs all right you can bet on powerslap as I mentioned if you’re here in Las Vegas just go to your local casino you can also bet online stations casinos DraftKings or your favorite sports book you’re going to want to do that especially uh for the main event is it going to be Wolverine or is it going to be his former assistant coach the future lawyer well I mean DeBell has such impressive force great defense I mean both of these guys have force and very strong chins to last a full five rounds this is a perfect example of the coin toss affecting the line here I mean you’re making the current champ an underdog I like the Wolverine to successfully defend his belt and especially for plus money that’s great value I like that pick as well I have to agree with her on that one although I was building up the bell and I think he’s something that could be very special as a young guy with the tremendous amount of reach the fact that Wolverine in 15 bouts has never been knocked out it shows that he’s got this sustainability to take the shots and now with the added size he can deliver them as well I’m going Wolverine you know the crazy thing about Wolverine too that he told me before his last fight he’s never even taken a step back when he’s been struck before well I mean the chin is serious on Wolverine all right let’s talk about our co-main event AJ hints and Russell Rivero the coin toss already happened for this one as well Russell Rivero did not get a chance to strike the last time they face so he desperately wanted to win this coin toss AJ wins the toss again and this guy is different a massive impact on the odds in this fight in particular yeah Dan absolutely so AJ hence was going to be the favorite regardless of the result of the coin toss but if Rivero had won the coin toss hence hence his odds would have been slashed in half at -150 now because he won he’s a over a three Buck favorite here so yeah yeah that’s that that’s pretty large in the power slap especially at this point all right let’s talk about AJ hands I’ve talked about how he has the potential to be one of the best slappers in the world and it’s Doom part not just to his power but the next strength and we saw that in full effect against Vern Kathy in his last fight tremendous next strength that AJ has he has the the strongest neck strength out of anyone in this competition and that’s something that’s very important in a sport like this you could have a granite chin but if you have a pencil neck it doesn’t do much good for you he’s got it granted neck he’s got a solid Nick he could take shots and as we talk about the power that he has he’s a guy that said look he’s been fighting his entire life he grew up in a town where he was kind of an outcast he was a headbanger skateboarder type kid got picked on had his fight his entire life but there’s something in him Dan I see the power and he’s got great defense that he’d be something special in this sport Russell Rivero put in a full day’s work in his last fight pulling out the victory in the third round this guy’s no joke either no joke at all we’re looking at the physicality of Russell Roberto you see how he dips his body puts his legs into it has a massive wind-up a very strong frame I think you said Dan this guy benches around 420 pretty damn impressive he uses that power very well in slap 420. I mean process that for a moment super heavyweights weigh 400 pounds Russell Rivero could bench press one of those dudes and he’s been working on technique a lot and he really really since the first time they fought I feel like he’s come a long way it was in the slap Mansion Russell Rivero AJ hints faced off AJ Hintz won the coin toss he went first he has the massive power and he took care of business in this one yeah I mean he looked tremendous in this one this is a fight that Rivero cannot make any mistakes because he can’t afford you can see right there there’s flinching and when you get foul like that you get another strike you cannot afford to get hit again by somebody with the power of hints he made that mistake Russell Rivero in this matchup Dan cannot make any mistakes he needs to be able to take the shot not flinch not roll with it he can’t afford to get hit twice that that’s the biggest penalty I think in sports I mean basically you get two for flinching right that’s a big deal huge people can’t have those penalties and he paid for it in that in that match yeah absolutely I so uh for my pick here I mean this one is my favorite matchup on the entire card because of this bad blood because of the history between these two Russell is a really strong guy as we mentioned but I do not believe his defense will hold up against AJ hins I mean that win against Vern Kathy from AJ hands that really solidified how impressive this guy really is so my opinion AJ hands his hands down the most exciting slapper in the league here so we’re gonna go AJ hands to win I’m like okay maybe we’re on the same track seriously every fight when you see something good you can’t deny it I gotta go with AJ there’s something special about him and again I I’m a net guy I appreciate you know a well-formed neck the guy’s got the strongest neck in the competition that means he has one of the best defenses in the competition he’s got he’s the full package right here I’m going AJ he’s just built different and I a pound for pound he could be one of the best slap fighters in the entire world already AJ hints is he’s a star on the rise I’m telling you keep your eye on that you also might want to keep your eye on John the machine Davis defending his belt against Oklahoma’s Wesley drain this is going to be our third title fight of the night what do you see in the machine the welder from Ohio John Davidson and power slab one John Davis closes a slight favorite against aziel Rodriguez and that matchup had the tightest odds of any on that main card now John is riding the momentum of finally getting that knockout win against Rodriguez and became powerslap’s first ever middleweight champion when she has got a phenomenal chin and has proved us that he has The Knockout capabilities I cannot wait to see what he does in store for us for powerslap too and drain coming after that strap after that Split Decision win back in March Allen all the smoke all the smoke Wesley drain coming for right here like this is the guy that has battled with a lot of injuries been through a lot two and three records but he doesn’t really tell the full story he’s a guy that has said had injuries he saw this huge hematoma that kind of went viral uh but he still was able to battle through that one and fight through it some of his injuries has afforded him he had the strike with the weak side hand if you can imagine if you’re an arm wrestler having to use the opposite hand or play it use a different arm on any type of sport he’s had a battle through that he’s looking for some redemption in this matchup yeah huge disadvantage when you have to use your off hand in this sport drain by the way wins the toss he’s a minus 122 favorite Davis plus 122 in this one brings us to our predictions John Davis Wesley drain minty who do you like now if we look at the numbers Wesley is slightly weaker in neck strength and power just slightly and I can see this one going to decision with John Davis coming out on top again the current champion at plus money yeah give me John Davis to win okay there’s a bit of a pattern here I can’t help it but I’m on the same train right here the machine John Davis you know he’s a blue collar guy former Marine but he’s fifth in the house in all-time power he’s got the power to back things up I’m going with finish by the by Davis how about a couple of super heavyweights to open up the main card I’m talking about guys who weigh 400 pounds to Hawaiian Hitman Dane vieren has taken on SLAP for cash here’s the coin toss here slap for cash wins it but he’s still a plus 150 dog bierne said minus 150 so he’s the favorite the only coin toss winner who is a dog in this one is slap for cash they say the bigger they are the harder they fall so this is going to be a uh this is going to be an interest interesting one here what can you tell me about the Hawaiian Hitman the Hawaiian man hey you say size doesn’t always matter Size Matters in this matchup baby two 400 Pounders that laid on the power you see him right here that face that he’s making right there while he’s putting the chalk on his hand the power and the the powder on his hands that’s the face he makes when he receives a slap I’ve seen this guy take slaps from huge men and he smiles in their face and then screams back at him he’s an aggressive Striker with offense and defensive defense on both sides of it we’ve seen slap for cash all over the Internet heck he has a million followers on Instagram out he’s a viral star you’ve seen him mixing up with guys like Logan Paul he’s another huge man Dan 400 pounds you see the size I think he’s putting on some size since we shot this promo of him but he’s a big man and he’s done this for a while slap for cash he would pay guys to want to slap against him they would pay him I don’t know the whole story but I know that he said in the streets he’s knocked out at least 30 people doing this he’s got lot of experience and a lot of power to back it up so Al when you have two 400 Pounders you have to have two other big dudes up there to catch them right how about two of the world’s strongest men gonna be up there at the same time in the power slap Arena I’m talking about Evan Singleton and Trey Mitchell they both finished in the top five of the World’s Strongest Man contest so that’s sixteen hundred pounds between these four guys up there all at the same time I cannot wait for the first ever super heavyweight matchup coming up on the 24th on Rumble prediction time who do you like in this one minute okay first of all I absolutely love the idea of this super heavyweight matchup it’s going to be incredibly entertaining now obviously both of these men very large very large hands lots of power to go with it but I fear that slap for cash since he hasn’t been in this league he’s more prone to commit some fouls here and there so I really love the value you’re getting on the Hawaiian in a hit man so give me a Dane virness to win at minus 150. I’m going to second that the Hawaiian Hitman massive individual 400 pounds he’s got huge power and again he showed me in his previous bouts he could take a lot of strikes he could take damage very well Smiles in your face I’m going to Hawaii and Hitman Dan all right so slap for cash the only guy who won the toss on the main card and is a dog on the 24th it’s going to be interesting to see if that uh changes by the time we get to that match all right five fights on the prelim card and we have a couple with some familiar names let’s start with Darius the Destroyer a perfect 17 and oh he did win the toss in this one perfect 17-0 before he lost to Wolverine taking on Dorian Perez who’s looking to stay undefeated who do you like in this woman to well the Destroyer has a very durable chin tons of strength in his hands to go with it this is his Redemption shot but the way that Dorian winds up for the slap just looks like game over over this is dorian’s opportunity to go 4-0 and become a household name in the power slap heavyweight division so I’m going with Dorian Perez to win well she took all of my bullet points and used them against me I’m going with the Destroyer he said it he’s got power he’s got defense he’s the guy that feels like he was a pioneer of this Sport and you said the key word right there Redemption is looking for a Redemption he wants that belt around his waist I’m going to destroy her all right welterweight we have the number one Contender against the number two contenders the insurance salesman Whalen Frost taking on Jesus Gaspar Diaz who has deceptive power yes Jesus Gaspard Diaz always the underdog but he’s got to make impressive wins and his strong chin is what helped carry him to those impressive wins now Waylon Frost has force and can take some really violent slaps I like this to go to decision but honestly I’m gonna go with the dog here numbers tell me that Jesus is stronger and will come in stronger here so give me Jesus Gaspar Diaz as my underdog for this one as well I’m going the other way I’m going to ice cold baby ice cold look the way that he kind of rolls with the strikes but doesn’t commit a foul I like the way that he’s able to absorb damage that way and still keeping it clean but also the way that he got past slapped Jesus it was impressive performance right there that puts me looking to see him to win so I’m going Wayland High School Frost frost a minus 150 favorite going into the 24th remember that you can bet on power slap too just go into your local casino here in Nevada you can bet online stations casinos DraftKings any sports book that you bet through you will be able to bet through on powerslap too and it’s coming up of course on the 24th on Rumble download the app you can go to rumble.com and I can guarantee Alan you’re going to be entertained you’re going to be entertained listen you’ve got three title belts on the line the best power slappers in the world and when the main card kicks off you got 800 pounds of hard hitters standing on that stage make sure and tune in and it’s all coming up Wednesday May 24th live and free on Rumble for Alan Joe band and minty Betts I’m Dan helle it is so easy go to rumble click on powerslap scroll down it’s live on Wednesday 9 p.m Eastern 6 p.m Pacific just like YouTube so easy to use Charlie Arnold Michael Bisping myself Justin Bernard gonna be here calling the action on Wednesday the 24th do yourself a favor log on to rumble right now download the app get yourself ready to go for Wednesday thank you
