Arnold Schwarzenegger’s reaction during Slap Fighting Championship has gone viral

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s reaction during Slap Fighting Championship has gone viral

His reaction was brilliant.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s hilarious reaction during the Slap Fighting Championship has gone viral. 

The world famous Hollywood actor and YouTuber turned boxer Logan Paul introduced the slap fighting championship to the world at the Arnold Sports Festival, which was held in Columbus, Ohio. 

According to the rulebook, slap fighting will be three rounds long with each competitor slapping their opponent once per round. 

Three judges will then mark the score and work out the winner by decision. A knockout is scored if a competitor is unable to continue 30 seconds after being slapped. 

Schwarzenegger looked in disbelief as he watched Adrianna Sledz and Julia Kruzer take turns to slap each other’s face as hard as possible. You can watch the footage below. 

Sledz won convincing with a unanimous decision victory but it was Schwarzenegger’s reaction which caught fans’ attentions. 

One fan said: “Arnold looks like he didn’t read what he signed up to watch lol.”

Another commented: “Arnold looks a bit lost…wrong event Terminator lol.” 

A third fan added: “What is Arnold doing watching this for it is ridiculous.”

Another person said: “Arnold looked like he was the one who took the slap lol.” 

During the event, Paul spoke about his delights, he said: “It makes me so happy to be here right now. My dad took me to the Arnold 10 years ago. It’s so cool to be back here hosting Slap Fighting Championship. 

“I was with the fighters yesterday. These guys are the toughest, burliest most brawny people you’ve ever seen in your life.”

Paul himself once knocked out a 350Ib man with a brutal slap when he was preparing to participate in a slap tournament a few years ago. 

He recalled the incident on the MMA Hour, Paul said: “I ended up slapping this 350lb guy, this slap master from the States. 

“I just wanted to test because I've never open-hand f***ing slapped a human before.

“I knocked him out cold, like cold, cold - starched him to the point where after I hit him he didn't even know who he was.

"He was 6'3", 350lb and it was like 'damn', I believe I could do that to anybody standing across from me.”
