Power Slap 13 marks the third event in a five-show residency at the stunning Fontainebleau Las Vegas, with this edition promising historic matchups and high-stakes drama.


Main Event: Dumpling Defends Super Heavyweight Gold

Headlining the event is a blockbuster Super Heavyweight Title bout between reigning champion Dumpling (2-0-1) and No. 2 ranked challenger Dayne “Da Hawaiian Hitman” Viernes (2-2). Dumpling, who earned the belt with a unanimous decision victory over Dayne’s brother, Layne “Da Crazy Hawaiian” Viernes, at Power Slap 11, looks to make his first successful defense.

Da Hawaiian Hitman, fresh off a statement knockout win over Russian veteran Denis Vildanov, aims to avenge his brother’s loss and seize championship glory for the Viernes family.


Co-Main Event: Wolverine Returns to Defend Light Heavyweight Strap

Fan favorite and slap fighting icon Wolverine (4-2) returns to defend his Light Heavyweight Title against Russel Rivero (3-3, 1 NC). Known for his explosive knockouts and crowd-pleasing style, Wolverine comes in hot after a devastating first-round KO over Vernon Cathey. Rivero, however, brings dangerous power of his own and looks to shake up the division with a statement win.


Welterweight Showdown: Blackburn vs. Rodriguez

In the Welterweight division, undefeated champion Anthony “Babyface” Blackburn (5-0-1) puts his belt on the line against surging contender Azael Rodriguez (6-3). Blackburn has been dominant in his rise and intends to continue his perfect run, while Rodriguez looks to become the first man to dethrone the champ.


Historic Women’s Flyweight Title Fight: VanZant vs. Brown II

History will be made as Paige VanZant (2-0-1) faces off against Mikael-Michelle Brown (1-1) in the first-ever Women’s Flyweight Championship match. VanZant claimed a unanimous decision win over Brown in their first encounter at Power Slap 12 and hopes to repeat her success. Brown, however, is determined to flip the script and make history by becoming the inaugural women’s champion.
