Dana White's Power Slap League premiere delayed one week, TBS spokesperson confirms

Just days after a shocking video from a New Year's Eve celebration in Mexico emerged that showed UFC president Dana White slapping his wife, Anne, in the face, the debut of his newly created Power Slapping League has been delayed a week.

Jori Arancio, a spokesperson for TBS, confirmed to Yahoo Sports that the series, "Power Slap: Road to the Title," will now air on Jan. 18 instead of Jan. 11 as originally planned. Front Office Sports first reported that Power Slap was removed from TBS' schedule.

Long-time MMA journalist Jeremy Botter tweeted later Thursday that the death of the deal is imminent.
