Three Title Fights Headline a Landmark Night
Main Event – Heavyweight Title Clash:
Power Slap’s undefeated heavyweight champion Damien “The Bell” Dibbell (5-0, 3 KOs) puts his belt on the line against rising contender Wes “The Boom” Mena (4-0, 2 KOs). At just 23 years old, Dibbell has carved out a dominant path in the sport, boasting wins over notable names like Wolverine, Nate Burnard, and Ryan Phillips. He returns looking to solidify his reign with another emphatic finish.
Mena, a breakout star from Power Slap: Road to the Title Season 3, brings his own undefeated record and a wave of momentum into the matchup. After dispatching Aaron Turner, Devin Jenkins, and Jashell Ticha Awa, Mena now eyes the ultimate prize: the heavyweight championship.
Co-Main Event – Middleweight Title Trilogy:
In the middleweight division, champion Branden “The Butcher” Bordeaux (4-1, 1 KO) and No. 1 contender Isaih “The Puerto Rican Pretty Boy” Quinones (4-3, 4 KOs) meet for a trilogy bout with the title on the line. The Butcher is determined to cement his status as the undisputed best at 185 pounds, while Quinones is out to reclaim his throne with a signature knockout.
Lightweight Title Rematch:
Another championship will be up for grabs as unbeaten lightweight king Robert “The Real Deal” Trujillo (5-0, 4 KOs) defends against Dakota “The Maritime Menace” McGregor (2-1, 2 KOs). Known for his devastating power and aggressive style, Trujillo is one of Power Slap’s most exciting competitors. McGregor, however, is eager to avenge his only loss and snatch the gold in what promises to be a must-see rematch.
Broadcast Team and Coverage
The broadcast will be led by Dan Hellie on play-by-play, joined by former UFC fighter Alan Jouban on commentary. Charly Arnolt returns to provide backstage and ringside coverage, while Justin Bernard serves as ring announcer.
