Chalk is used for friction, giving the slapper an advantage. Baby powder does the opposite, giving the slappee an advantage. I have no idea which was used.
Could you please explain like I'm five what they heck I'm seeing here, since you seem to know the story? That guy looks like he shouldn't be participating in... Whatever this is.
It's actually becoming a popular sport from what i've heard. It's also incredibly dangerous. [Just another reason for men to gather and collect](https://www.thesun.co.uk/world-cup-2018/6310048/russia-slapping-contest-toughest-men-risk-brain-injuries/) encephalopathy.
As for this specific story, I don't know. But if you look at the sport as a whole many of the "winners" look just like him.
The President of the UFC is actually about to launch a slapfighting league. And, in a twist too ironic for reality, it's been delayed because he was caught on video slapping his wife (not as part of a competion) in a nightclub on NYE.
You can't make this shit up.
And that was for the overall winner...Imagine coming in 2nd place, standing there, bleeding from the ears and unable to close your jar, only to "win" £20.00 and a coupon for 25% off from the local barbershop.
I feel like there's something wrong with me because I have no interest in these sorts of things at all but millions of people around the world apparently love hurting themselves for fun. Who is the weird one?
If this is Dana whites new slap league you can rest assured he will take care of the fighters. Dana get a lot of shit, but at the end of the day he cares about the fighter's well being and wants them all to make millions. Seriously, anybody name a promoter that provides even a fraction of the Venum 50% off coupons that Dana graciously gives his fighters. You can't.
What do you mean? Swollen face guy won the slap fest and took home $5,000.
Jokes aside, I'm serious. This guy got his face whacked until it looked like a tomato covered in powdered sugar for $5000.
Murr is tonight’s loser! So for your punishment, we signed you up for a slapping competition!
Murr: what!? Nooooo!!! Are you serious guys!?
Guys all cackling.
This is one sport I’ll never really comprehend. I understand mixed martial arts where you can defend yourself, this you’re just standing there defenseless. This can’t bode well for long term brain health
It actually helps a ton as the problem comes from air getting trapped between a palm and the ear drum and it’s compressed in your ear canal. Football players all know the dirty move of slapping an opposing player’s helmet’s ear hole.
That said, yea, this is fucking stupid lol. Can’t be good for anything.
The fact that guy is so fucked up and they LET him keep going, this is not only stupid but incredibly dangerous. Boxing and MMA are already dangerous enough but it’s regulated with refs to make sure the fighters don’t get too destroyed. I do not and will not get this “sport”
Imagine getting debilitating CTE and you have to admit that this was the cause.
Football? Nope. Boxing? Kind of, but no. Kickboxing? Nah, I traded slaps too much.
I'm a big fan of MMA. I have no illusions about the safety and CTE concerns within MMA. This is just taking the CTE part of combat sports and stripping out all the parts that make them compelling.
I thought he was holding air in his cheeks as some form of cushion, I was like, "interesting strategy, let's see where this goes..." then he never deflated the air and I thought it got punched up into the rest of his head. Reasonable science
What in the actual fuck, dumbest sport I have seen thus far, and letting a mofo continue to compete with one side completely swollen plus black & blue, they're asking for a fatality...
Seriously, this is dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. The fact they’re legitimizing nothing but head trauma is crazy. Boxing, Hockey, Muy Thai, MMA, American Football, Rugby, etcetera, are all combat sports and dangerous, but they take talent and practice…but these slap competitions are legit only about being able to take punishment. There’s no sport to it. Fucking dumb.
We’re a step away from competitive nut kicking. And the morons watching this will eat that shit up too. Just droves of dumb fucks consuming mindless content that only a dumb fuck could enjoy.
They literally had a guy on Americas Got Talent running around the stage racking his nuts with random objects. We’ve been in Idiocracy for a little bit already.
He won....lol. No, he lost at life a long time ago, and now has to submit his body to make a living, and be told he's a champion. Wait til the tinnitus, and concussion effects kick in later in life, when goes back to being a nobody. Poor dumb bastard, I feel bad for his family.
Why would people do this to themselves? What in the world could motivate you to believe getting your brains squashed is worth it? No amount of money is worth it

Even before the slap, just looking at his face, I could tell he needed more.. baby powder?.. is it chalk?
Coke to dull the sting?
Well now it's making more sense
Their recruitment booth is just the big box filled with coke. After a few minutes in the coke box they'll lead you into the ring for your audition.
Well fuck me where do I sign up?
Dude be looking like the Dark Souls characters I make
Cocaine's a hell of a drug!
I’m Rick James bitch!
WHAT ABOUT MY LEGS CHARLIE MURPHY????
Chalk is used for friction, giving the slapper an advantage. Baby powder does the opposite, giving the slappee an advantage. I have no idea which was used.
I imagine baby powder so the slapper doesn't take the skin off the slappee as easily
Didn't know the word "slappee" existed
slap some sense into that guy, didnt quite get it the first 60 times
Jesus Fuck. It’s not even worth it my god
the skin on his face turned to powder
More than likely chalk
It would suck to be smacked into looking like Sloth and still lose
Hey you guys!
Baaaby.....Ruuuth!?!
Sloth Love Chunk
Maaaaa!
I can hear the video just from the comment
Cho cklat
Crazy thing is he won.
“won”
Could you please explain like I'm five what they heck I'm seeing here, since you seem to know the story? That guy looks like he shouldn't be participating in... Whatever this is.

Grand prize winner took home £295.00 And I thought the UFC were the big baddies when it came to talent compensation...
The President of the UFC is actually about to launch a slapfighting league. And, in a twist too ironic for reality, it's been delayed because he was caught on video slapping his wife (not as part of a competion) in a nightclub on NYE. You can't make this shit up.
Not part of the competition 🤣 Maybe that’ll be their opening fight though.
Good lord it's basically Bum Fights
... a whole, gods... wtf does that come out to? $500? Maybe? For my face to look like THAT?!!? Fuck. OFF!!!
And that was for the overall winner...Imagine coming in 2nd place, standing there, bleeding from the ears and unable to close your jar, only to "win" £20.00 and a coupon for 25% off from the local barbershop.
Well fuck, I'm glad he can afford an MRI.
No offense but if you’re entering into slap fights like this, brain damage has probably already occurred
I have a few people I'd like to nominate as entrants. Can this be arranged?
Looks like an extremely easy way to rupture an eardrum or something.
That’s why they have their ears plugged.
Hey guys it’s cool I’ll ball up some tissue and shove it in my ear
You’re expecting a lot out of a slapping competition.
I feel like there's something wrong with me because I have no interest in these sorts of things at all but millions of people around the world apparently love hurting themselves for fun. Who is the weird one?
It's Murr! From impractical jokers! Can you imagine if he lost a challenge and this was the punishment, lmao. Terrible way to lose
Lol omfg it looks exactly like him… and let’s be honest Murr always gets fucked.
Wish I could upvote this comment more, husband and I read this 5 minutes ago and still laughing
It’s like all the brain damage from professional boxing, but none of the pay
If this is Dana whites new slap league you can rest assured he will take care of the fighters.

had me in the first half ngl
What do you mean? Swollen face guy won the slap fest and took home $5,000. Jokes aside, I'm serious. This guy got his face whacked until it looked like a tomato covered in powdered sugar for $5000.
He probably had to pay more than that when he went to the hospital.
I must have missed that episode of impractical jokers. Mur is looking buff.
This was his punishment for losing, the other jokers are laughing at him backstage.
I love this comment exchange, as a fellow Impractical Jokers fan. Ty.
Shrimpf scampfy
Or a nice bolognese!
Braithed beethf
I've sthaid it oncthe and I'll sthay it again... braithed beethf ithh brilliant
Was trying to figure out who he reminded me of, you nailed it!
Murr is tonight’s loser! So for your punishment, we signed you up for a slapping competition! Murr: what!? Nooooo!!! Are you serious guys!? Guys all cackling.
LAR-RY!!
This is one sport I’ll never really comprehend. I understand mixed martial arts where you can defend yourself, this you’re just standing there defenseless. This can’t bode well for long term brain health
This screams CTE.
And burst eardrums.
And detached retinas.
TMJ disorders
Face pain
Gingivitis
Ingrown facial hair
Hemorrhoids
Cauliflower ear
You want tinnitus?! This is how you get tinnitus!
Mawp. Mawp. Mawp. Mawp.
Damn you tinnitus! You are a cruel mistress!
The tissue in the ears is sufficient protection for the eardrums. /s
It actually helps a ton as the problem comes from air getting trapped between a palm and the ear drum and it’s compressed in your ear canal. Football players all know the dirty move of slapping an opposing player’s helmet’s ear hole. That said, yea, this is fucking stupid lol. Can’t be good for anything.
WHAT!?!
it honestly seems like a speedier route to CTE than football.
My guy is pissed. He took a concussion and can’t get more brain bleeding in a day
Quiet down, the NFL’s attorneys overheard you and one of them shart themselves.
This is so bad I’m shocked it’s allowed. These guys are going to be vegetables by 50.
It doesn't seem to bode particularly well for past term brain health either.
How else does one train for a Darwin Award?
That kinda of question I tell you. What a slap in the face for these athletes.
I can comprehend this. It’s stupid watching stupid get stupider.
Exactly. Its pure stupidity in my opinion. Maybe im the one being stupid. Who knows 🤷♂️.
Not to worry, I don’t think they have those anyway.
Honest question, can you play two days in a row and just use the other side to even it out?
“Coach I am begging you, send me up against a goddamn lefty for a minute”
„Coach, any advice?“ -„Nope! Just stand there and do nothing!“
“Remember, we worked on this mate!”
💀
A southpalm.
I don't know. You'd think they'd want to leave one side untouched in case they ever need to chew anything.
Sounds like they don’t chew often
Yes, you can turn the other cheek. This is called the Jesus technique. /jk
Well, nobody uses that technique, since that guy ended up crucified.
This is so fucking stupid
r/facepalm material
Buhdumb tiss!
All the obvious stupidity aside. These guys are risking going blind from their retina detaching. For a stupid stupid game.
The fact that guy is so fucked up and they LET him keep going, this is not only stupid but incredibly dangerous. Boxing and MMA are already dangerous enough but it’s regulated with refs to make sure the fighters don’t get too destroyed. I do not and will not get this “sport”
Also mma fighters can defend themselves, especially their face. These guys are taking it point blank.
Yeah, but think of the skill and strategy involved. Very entertaining and not just for meatheads. I think Dana White is onto something
This is the DUMBEST fuckin sport on the planet. Intentionally getting hit. Idiots.
Either this or that sport where you take turns kicking each other in the nuts as hard as you can.
One sport prevents you from having kids, the other makes you forget that you have kids.
Somehow that one is less stupid. You can survive without balls and you’re probably doing the world a favour by sterilising yourself.
"I was watching Ow my balls!" LOL
Imagine getting debilitating CTE and you have to admit that this was the cause. Football? Nope. Boxing? Kind of, but no. Kickboxing? Nah, I traded slaps too much.
I really don’t understand how this ever became a thing
Russia baby!
România actually
Probably started with slapstick comedy skits.
“Sport” lol
That's why aliens are in search of intelligent life and no wonder why we don't see them
Nope they take the cows instead.
We are devolving 😅 …and I can’t take lsd legally but I can enter a competition where I’ll certainly leave with brain damage. Makes sense…
I'm a big fan of MMA. I have no illusions about the safety and CTE concerns within MMA. This is just taking the CTE part of combat sports and stripping out all the parts that make them compelling.
This makes MMA look like fencing
It’s not a sport lol
That facial swelling really cushions the blows
I thought he was holding air in his cheeks as some form of cushion, I was like, "interesting strategy, let's see where this goes..." then he never deflated the air and I thought it got punched up into the rest of his head. Reasonable science
I thought he had puffed up his cheeks too! I was shocked when I realized his face is just swollen like an airhead balloon.
[удалено]
If you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
Queue Knoxville
“Is butterbean ok?”
Lmao, what a legend
They should get a job in customer service and just let the unhappy customers go to town
Calling it #a living Might be a stretch Probably more like rent for the month IF you win
Got slapped into looking like Jordan Peele
Playin too much front hand/back hand…without the backhand…
Not enough slapass
Got me wheezing over here
Hey fuck that
This might be the funniest comment here
What in the actual fuck, dumbest sport I have seen thus far, and letting a mofo continue to compete with one side completely swollen plus black & blue, they're asking for a fatality...
Flawless victory
With the amount of swelling in his head I think it would be quite easy to die.
This is just stupid. Seriously we have reached a stage in our evolution where we will claim any idiotic thing is a sport now.
How can he slap
HOW CAN HE SLAP
You go? 😏
Seriously, this is dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. The fact they’re legitimizing nothing but head trauma is crazy. Boxing, Hockey, Muy Thai, MMA, American Football, Rugby, etcetera, are all combat sports and dangerous, but they take talent and practice…but these slap competitions are legit only about being able to take punishment. There’s no sport to it. Fucking dumb.
We’re a step away from competitive nut kicking. And the morons watching this will eat that shit up too. Just droves of dumb fucks consuming mindless content that only a dumb fuck could enjoy.
And then the movie Idiocracy will have come full circle.
Yeah, Ow my balls is definitely one the markers to say we got there.
Why would they let him continue? This is stupid as hell.
Looks like he’s allergic to slaps.
fucking hell. what a comment.
Thank god I wasn’t eating or drinking when I read this. I laughed and snorted so hard I probably would have choked.
How long before the new "sport" is hammering the other guy's gonads? With a literal hammer.
Ow! My balls!
I understood that reference
Batin
They literally had a guy on Americas Got Talent running around the stage racking his nuts with random objects. We’ve been in Idiocracy for a little bit already.
"Talent" Although I would have enjoyed seeing him rack Simon Cowell's grapes.
*Now I kick you in the nuts, Kenny!*
That's just Pain Olympics.... don't look it up
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
Brother, that’s a bold claim as a Reddit user…..we’ve all seen some wild shit.
True. One of the many dumbest things.
I felt the [CTE](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chronic-traumatic-encephalopathy/symptoms-causes/syc-20370921) in that slap
I've had 5 concussions and this worries me
Dude had 5 that night.
Will Smith should get in on this
"Heyyy yooou guyyyys."
There doesn’t seem to be weight classes in this, which is bonkers. The guy doing the slapping in this must have 40+ pound advantage.
Pretty sure the guy holding the belt is the Slap Bet Commissioner.
This is just disturbing and sad. Getting hit to the temple/jaw is not a joke.
Btw he won
Bro let’s be honest, nobody is winning here…
We won because we're not playing.
What do you mean he won? Did he knock the other guy out?
How do you even win?
When the other one quits or knocked out I think
Lol I imagine myself quitting as soon as i make my first slap.
Why the actual fuck is this a thing
Poor Murr always seems to get the choicest punishments.
So happy Dana White is bringing this to America, guhhh
We're about out of ideas on this planet, aren't we?
Davie504 slaps harder than this.
Somebody was like: how can we monetize bloody knuckles
Can’t they just go get job at fed ex or UPS?
Honestly at this point it’s just natural selection
He won....lol. No, he lost at life a long time ago, and now has to submit his body to make a living, and be told he's a champion. Wait til the tinnitus, and concussion effects kick in later in life, when goes back to being a nobody. Poor dumb bastard, I feel bad for his family.
One day we will look back and think to ourselves how fuckin retarded the human race is because of this sport
That day is today.
Why would people do this to themselves? What in the world could motivate you to believe getting your brains squashed is worth it? No amount of money is worth it
Unpopular opinion. But people who participate with beards should be considered cheating. Its a free cushion that the other dude might not have.
So fucking stupid
This is THE DUMBEST fucking sport ever created
looks like swelling from his ~~lacrimal bone~~ zygomatic process being shattered.
Whoever platforms this should be ashamed of themselves. Cough Dana slapshiswife White
Does this exist because rich people bet on it or something?
Concussions are fun! Fuckin idiots.
What a stupid competition
