The Main Event: Branden Bordeaux vs. Isaih Quinones III
This is the fight fans have been waiting for. A trilogy where both men hold a win over the other, with the middleweight championship on the line.
Branden “The Butcher” Bordeaux
From: Fremont, Michigan
Record: 4–1 (1 KO)
Style: Stocky, powerful, and methodical — he’s not flashy, but his power translates into brutal, fight-ending strikes.
Background: A former MMA hopeful until a back injury forced him out. Outside the cage, Bordeaux runs a butcher shop with his brother, which gives real weight to the “Butcher” nickname. Every slap is delivered with the kind of force you’d expect from someone used to hard labor and heavy lifting.
Isaih “The Puerto Rican Pretty Boy” Quinones
From: Lancaster, California
Record: 4–3 (all 4 wins by KO)
Style: Sharp, accurate, and aggressive. Quinones thrives on timing and precision — when he lands, opponents crumble.
Background: A U.S. Navy veteran with a career in avionics before stepping into slap fighting. He cut his teeth in the underground Russian slap leagues before making his mark in Power Slap.
The Rivalry So Far
First Fight: Quinones shocked Bordeaux with a clean KO.
Second Fight: Bordeaux stormed back with a Round 1 TKO, proving the first loss wasn’t the end of his story.
Now: Both fighters come in with momentum and motivation. The winner doesn’t just leave with the belt — he leaves as the definitive face of the division.
The Co-Main Event: Austin “Turp Daddy Slim” Turpin vs. Stevie Ray Ellis
If the main event is about legacy, the co-main is pure chaos.
Turp Daddy Slim is one of the most entertaining personalities in the league, but he backs it up with legit knockout power. He’s unpredictable, flashy, and dangerous in the opening rounds.
Stevie Ray Ellis, nicknamed “The Texas Hand Grenade,” brings relentless pressure and heavy hands of his own. He’s the kind of fighter who thrives in the chaos — if he eats a shot, he fires right back.
This one has “early finish” written all over it.
Heavyweight Collision: Nate Burnard vs. Aaron Turner
Heavyweight fights in Power Slap are must-watch. Both Burnard and Turner bring size, mass, and knockout potential that can change a fight instantly.
Nate Burnard — Durable striker with the chin to absorb punishment and the power to end it with one shot.
Aaron Turner — Nicknamed The Colossus, Turner isn’t subtle about his game plan. He’s here to put people on the floor.
This bout is less about technique and more about who can withstand the storm longer.
Women’s Division: Jackie Cataline vs. Abby Montes
Women’s bouts in Power Slap have consistently delivered action, and this matchup could be one of the most competitive fights on the card.
Jackie “The Hybrid” Cataline — A powerhouse athlete with a background in wrestling and combat sports. She’s built for intensity and brings raw physical strength.
Abby Montes — From Mexico, Montes has experience and toughness from combat sports back home, paired with an aggressive striking style that makes her dangerous.
Expect this one to go deep and showcase the technical side of slap fighting — not just brute force.
Other Key Bouts
Juicy vs. Zak “The White Hulk” Lansing — Super heavyweight madness. Juicy has surprising explosiveness for his size, while Lansing is a pure juggernaut.
Ayjay “Static” Hintz vs. Stunt Marshall — Opening card action. Both are unpredictable, scrappy, and hungry to move up the ranks. A good fight to set the tone for the night.
Ellie Dempster vs. Haley James — A lighter-weight women’s matchup. Both fighters are aggressive, and lighter divisions often bring higher pace and volume of strikes.
The Fontainebleau Factor
The move to Fontainebleau is a big step for Power Slap. This partnership creates:
A permanent home: No more shifting venues — fans know where to go for Power Slap.
Enhanced production value: State-of-the-art lighting, sound, and broadcast angles to showcase every jaw-rattling slap.
Fan engagement: VIP hospitality, walkout packages, and an immersive experience for fans who want more than just a seat in the crowd.
By locking in a home base, Power Slap positions itself alongside other Vegas combat institutions like the UFC and boxing — but with its own unique, raw edge.
Beyond Vegas: Abu Dhabi on the Horizon
Power Slap isn’t stopping in Vegas. Just weeks after this card, the league will head back overseas for Power Slap: Abu Dhabi on October 24, 2025, at the brand-new Space 42 Arena.
This shows the league isn’t just digging into Las Vegas — it’s expanding globally. With a permanent home in the U.S. and international dates on the calendar, Power Slap is building itself into a worldwide combat brand.
Final Word
When the dust settles on Bordeaux vs. Quinones III, it won’t just be another result on a fight card — it will be the defining chapter in one of Power Slap’s first great rivalries. Whoever wins becomes more than just a champion; they become the face of a division, and maybe even the face of the league itself.
At the same time, Power Slap 15 represents something bigger than a title defense. With Fontainebleau locked in as the league’s official home and international expansion continuing, this card is the bridge between the sport’s scrappy beginnings and its future as a permanent combat sports fixture.
Legacy in the cage. Growth outside of it. Power Slap 15 isn’t just another event — it’s a turning point in the history of the sport.
