I am not making any of the next part up. If you were hoping to see Ric Flair referee a slap fight between two massive men last night, then you are in luck!

There was a slap fight refereed by none other than Ric Flair during the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren PPV last night. If this all sounds a little too wild for you, I totally understand, but that whole PPV was something else.

Even well-known ESPN MMA journalist Ariel Helwani shared his thoughts on the slap fight.

There is a legit slap fight going on now. Officiated by Ric Flair. This is wild.

OMG that looked like the most painful slap ever

As someone who caught some of the boxing matches, the slap fight was more entertaining than about half of the actual fights. Which is saying a lot about the quality they had on this Pay Per View. The whole show was run like a circus. Even co-host Pete Davidson was poking fun at Jake Paul and telling Ben Askren that all the celebrities hoped he would knock Jake Paul out.

Pete Davidson heel turn! He tells Askren “we’re on your side.” And that Jake “is not a good person.”

Askren: “I feel so bad for the kids who are watching right now. I feel like an irresponsible mentor.”
