Under this partnership, VeChain, UFC’s official blockchain partner since 2022, will be the official sponsor and title partner of Power Slap events. The crypto company will also serve as the official cryptocurrency for the slapping championship.

Upcoming Event

The first event under this collaboration, “VeChain Power Slap 12: Quinones vs. Bordeaux 2,” is scheduled for March 7, 2025, at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The event will premiere on Power Slap’s YouTube channel, offering free live streaming to a global audience.

> “We are incredibly proud to be working with Dana White to launch Power Slap on YouTube, which, like blockchains, has the mantra of ‘Power to the people’ at its core. In Power Slap, everyone has a chance to rise to the top. The sport is growing rapidly through word of mouth, community, and influencers – a strategy we relate to as a decentralized blockchain,” Lu stated.

As the official title partner, VeChain’s integration will extend across all broadcast and live-streamed content on YouTube. The blockchain platform will also be featured on athletes’ official kits and in all marketing materials, including event posters and promotional backdrops.

VeChain and Power Slap plan to further expand their partnership with additional integrations targeted for UFC and the UFC Foundation.

> “Power Slap is a global phenomenon built on the internet. In just two years, our social platforms have attracted over 22 million followers, and our content has accumulated more than 13 billion views. Now with VeChain’s support, we are going to take this sport to another level!” White added.

Following its initial partnership with UFC in 2022, VeChain teamed up with the organization again in 2024 to promote VeBetter, an ecosystem aimed at accelerating adoption through tokenization.
