Joey Janela Reveals He Turned Down Invitation For Power Slap

As reported earlier today, UFC President Dana White is on the lookout for independent wrestlers to join Power Slap, which involves two people slapping each other really hard until one of them wins. You can count out Joey Janela though, who wrote on Twitter that he turned down an offer.

He wrote: “Nothing against anyone doing the powerslap deal props to you but they hit me up and asked me if I wanted to do it, & I said fuck no. Was the money good yes, was the money good enough to give someone a free shot at jaw, The Embarrassment & CTE deluxe? Fuck no, I’ll take the $50 to launch myself off a ladder through the thumbtack table any day of the week..”
