Bata Kept His Belt as Power Slap 18 Mixed Decisions
Ron “Wolverine” Bata retained his light heavyweight championship against Layne “Da Crazy Hawaiian” Viernes at Power Slap 18 on March 6, 2026. Fontainebleau Las Vegas hosted the event, which ended with a majority decision in the five-round main attraction.
Bata retained by majority decision
The championship scorecards read 47–47, 49–45 and 48–46. Two judges preferred Bata and one scored the contest level, allowing the defending titleholder to leave with his belt after the scheduled rounds.
Viernes entered as a former super heavyweight champion, giving the matchup a meeting of established names. The majority verdict reflected a competitive contest rather than a knockout or an immediate referee stoppage.
Greenhalgh and McGregor recorded finishes
Logan “Kill Shot” Greenhalgh defeated Alan “The Kryptonian” Klingbeil by first-round TKO in a separate light heavyweight contest. Dakota McGregor knocked out Vince Tracey in round two.
Brandon Rhodes also recorded a second-round knockout against Azael Rodriguez. Peter Truchlik stopped Luke Simonds by TKO in the second, adding another finish to the supporting program.
The remaining Power Slap 18 results
Jonathan Correa defeated Jordan Oasis unanimously on three 29–27 cards. Kalani Vakameilalo swept Casey Stephens 30–27 across the judges, and Zakir Naimanbayev also won unanimously against Wes Mena.
The completed card therefore combined several stoppages with full-distance scoring contests. Bata’s successful defense supplied the final result, preserving the light heavyweight championship despite one judge seeing no separation between the two headline competitors after five rounds.
