AyJay Hintz was introduced as the striker, who they described as having a Punk rock style with tremendous knockout power and, interestingly he claimed to have the strongest neck in the building, in a video that the UFC posted as an introduction to its athletes on the show.
Fans then started to make light of the UFC President and jokingly brought up the Will Smith Oscar incident, saying that Smith should be on this show. Additionally, many supporters believed White would fail miserably at this. Some of the fan reactions are included below.

When will Will Smith compete? #PowerFLOPleague

White has placed a sizable stake in this league, which seems somewhat out of the ordinary compared to other sports but it might end up being one of its selling points. When the show will be shown in the following days, we’ll know if this is a success or a failure. Till then it is reasonable to presume that many fans didn’t like the concept up to this point.
