Media Paramount+ drops a super simple UFC explainer for new viewers (video)

[jeff7b9]

Good stuff. Sometimes I get lost when the MMA purists start talking about fight nights and numbered cards, or women being champions (in slap sports they're all wonderful and equal in rank).

This is a good intro for a casual viewer like me who only watches #PowerSlap . Looking forward to more content like this

Do any Slap fighting orgs allow backhand pimp slaps?

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Looks like Paramount+ is taking the promotion of UFC very seriously:

Whoever chose the spot lighting/lens flare angle for that first set of pictures should be smacked.

I for one.... welcome 2026 and the Paramount + Noob Era

That's great! Just like the TUF noob era! We will have a whole influx of new posters that we can cap on and tell them how ignorant they are. It will be 2005 all over again on Sherdog!

Bring back On the Mat with Marc Laimon!





Before we started doing BJJ, my friends and I learned how to do armbars, triangles, kneebars, and heel hooks from these...obviously by trying them out on each other Jackass style

Who wins: Powerslap Heavyweight champion vs Paddy?

Great question!

While Paddy has a solid brace defense already, I think going against the Fedor of Power Slap is a bit much to ask of him. Damien Dibbell 50-43.

However, I do think he could beat paper-GOAT and current LHW champ Wolverine "Ron" Bata. Wolverine has a questionable chin, and if Paddy can figure out a way to exploit that early in the fight, I could see him winning by knockout.#andnew

Do any Slap fighting orgs allow backhand pimp slaps?

Unfortunately no, but this does sound interesting. I could see this being like how Japanese BJJ and regular BJJ started to become different styles.

 

[TheCryingElite]

Great way to explain the sport to new fans, I love it:

That was satisfying to watch. I liked the precise organization. Good handwriting and doodles. If I did that, I would honestly keep taking peeks at it, getting little dopamine hits off the organization lol.

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

I still haven't signed...














still looking for the Sanguiness

Sooo ur saying people train ufc so they can level up with fight nights to count higher and then u are mma and get movie contracts.. and they weigh you so that things are cheaper by the lb? Sounds complicated.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

They lost me at “ufc is not a sport”

Dawg I been training ufc for 16 years I’m pureeeeeetty sure I know what I’m doing

You FRAUD!

 Anyone who knows  anything, tranes ufc.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

All in all, this video is pretty good.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Little weird seeing it illustrated how one of the "red" (prelim) matches has a pair of fighters with an overall higher ranking than the 2 "blue" fighters headlining the event.

Also, I guess I always knew how much fight nights were falling in importance, but I guess I didn't realize belts are never featured on them anymore. What's the last championship defended in a fight night, Grasso vs Shev 2 in Sep 2023?

 

[BoxerMaurits]

What's the last championship defended in a fight night, Grasso vs Shev 2 in Sep 2023?

I think so yeah

 

[Adamant]

Great way to explain the sport to new fans, I love it:

WTF? This seems like something they would've put out in 2008. Not 2026.

 

[swimba]

@BoxerMaurits
I'm watching you boy

Evan Tanner claims he learned the techniques from a video.

 

[Pittie Petey]

I for one.... welcome 2026 and the Paramount + Noob Era

The Taylor Sheridan Noob Era imo

 

[Pittie Petey]

Now that the UFC is officially part of the Sheridan-Verse, I wonder how long til the different shows start having MMA plot lines and Uncle Dana starts guest starring on all the shows

I hope Cowboy Cerrone is already making some phone calls cause he'd obviously fit in perfect on Landman or Tulsa King

 

[Vegeta12]

Look what they've done to my boy

 

[TJH Exitium]

I like it

Paramount is obviously doing this better than Fox did, and this type of social media promotion will help casuals and draw in new fans

still.. it aint Spike TV
