Drain is currently raising 12 children — many of whom he took in from family members who needed the help. “My dream is to help children,” Drain says … “I was on the streets with no parents at a young age. I just want to give back.” Drain has a background in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and spent time training at the famous Jackson-Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque in 2021, where he honed his craft alongside MMA stars like Holly Holm.

Duane Crespo is a retired U.S. Marine who says MMA saved his life -- and now he's gunning for the Power Slap heavyweight title. “I was a disabled vet.

Sheena Bathory gotDana White’s attention at the Power Slap qualifiers back in March, delivering a jaw-dropping knockout blow that sent her opponent summersaulting backwards!! Now, the “Hungarian Hurricane” is joining Power Slap as an assistant coach with Team Wolverine, where she’ll share her extensive strength-training and striking knowledge with the next crop of slap fighters. Sheena — who comes from a family of accomplished Judo athletes — began her training at 5-years-old and racked up several championships over the years. She began competing in freestyle wrestling at age 20 and quickly became one of the best in Hungary. In 2021, Bathory competed on the Hungarian TV show “Exatlon” — an extreme sports competition — and instantly became a fan favorite. She also recently competed as a bodybuilder at the Shawn Ray Hawaiian Classic and scored 2 medals in the wellness bikini divisions. What’s her secret to success??

And I’m f***ing ready."

Forrest Griffin is back on the combat sports stage -- but he's not competing, he's got much more important gig! The UFC Hall of Famer is serving as an official "catcher" for Power Slap -- where he's tasked with catching the athletes who get knocked down, to help prevent a second impact caused by the ground. "That double impact," Griffin explains ... "You’ve taken the first trauma and when your head hits the ground, bang bang, both sides of your brain actually bounce against your skull. We want to prevent that and make it just the initial impact and have that be what causes you or not causes you to win or lose the competition." The fact Griffin happens to be a legendary high-level athlete definitely helps him out on the job -- "catchers" have to have lightening quick reflexes to get the job done right. "I'm kind of doing it for research purposes," says Griffin, who also serves as VP of Athlete Development at the famous UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas ..."I'm interested in seeing the different types of impacts and what happens." Power Slap debuted Jan. 11th on TBS at 10 PM et/pt.

I want that smoke as much as anyone else thinks they can. Bring it!" Power Slap debuts Jan 11th on TBS at 10 pm pt/et.

The New Orleans native — a seasoned MMA fighter, kickboxer and boxer — created a hurricane-style slap that blew everyone away at the Power Slap qualifiers … including his first opponent! “I’ve taken a real technical approach to this,” Scott says of his unique Power Slap striking style … “Ive learned how to generate as much power as I can from the floor without using my feet.” Scott went viral in 2021 while fighting in Jorge Masvidal’s GameBred FC promotion — when he PUKED IN THE CAGE after getting kicked below the belt … but opted to stay in the fight! Now, Scott has his sights set on becoming a Power Slap champion and it’s clear he’s got the talent AND theconfidence. “I don’t feel like any human could sustain an unobstructed shot from me.”

AyJay Hintz is hardcore punk meets hardcore combat -- in the best possible way.

My chin is solid."

Now, he’s putting his granite chin to the test against the best strikers in the world — but “The King of Kings” is confident he can take everyone’s best shot and return the favor with unparalleled destruction. “I’m here for legacy. I want to prove that I’m the baddest man in the world,” Phillips. “To whoever is standing in front of me … you're gonna see the slap of the gods from the King of Kings baby!
