  "account": "The Lingerie Fighting Championships event in Clearwater, Florida on October 11 was more than just a scantily clad women's wrestling show. It also featured the debut of Power Spank, a parody of Power Slap, the fighting league co-founded by UFC CEO Dana White. Power Slap, which started in January 2023, involves slap fighting where contestants slap each other on the face, sometimes causing unconsciousness. Power Spank, on the other hand, results in red and sore skin but no knockouts. This has led to a dispute between the two leagues. Power Slap's CEO, Shaun Donnelly, stated that they will defend their right to free speech and are prepared to take the matter to the Supreme Court if necessary. The UFC, however, is not available for comment as their CEO is currently traveling. One of the LFC athletes had a serious injury at a Power Slap match, leading to the creation of Power Spank as a safer alternative that retains the energy and theatrics of Power Slap but without the risk of brain damage.",
