Bryan Scambler is quickly becoming one of the most dangerous names in Power Slap’s lightweight division.
Whether it’s 170 or 155 pounds, the result keeps looking the same:
walk in, land one shot, collect the checks, and leave.
At Power Slap 20, Scambler delivered another devastating first-round knockout — this time against late replacement Glenn Hunter — further cementing himself as one of the fastest-rising contenders in the sport.
And according to Scambler, none of it is accidental.
“I Practice How I’m Going to Perform”
Scambler credits his consistency to preparation and repetition.
According to him, the reason those “perfect strikes” keep happening is simple:
“I practice how I’m going to perform on the stage.”
The Arizona State wrestling product revealed he throws a minimum of 100 practice strikes every single day while training multiple variations depending on opponent tendencies and defensive posture.
He studies film relentlessly and adjusts his striking angles based on how opponents set themselves at the table.
“I practice one coming up, one going across, and one coming down.”
He even uses dry-erase markers on training dummies to sharpen accuracy and track strike placement.
“If it gets smudged up top, I know I need to go down.”
That attention to detail is translating directly into knockouts.
The Last-Minute Opponent Change Didn’t Matter
Originally scheduled to face another opponent, Scambler received a call earlier in the week informing him the matchup had changed.
His response?
“Run it. Just give me a name.”
That name ended up being Glenn Hunter.
Despite the late switch, Scambler said nothing about his preparation changed.
“My goal wasn’t changing. My plan wasn’t changing. Just the chin was.”
Even after another brutal knockout, Scambler made sure to show respect to Hunter for stepping in on short notice.
“Shout out to him for stepping up. I’m glad he’s okay.”
Why Some Fans Still Doubt Him
At 2-0 with two one-shot finishes, many fans are already calling for Scambler to receive a title opportunity.
But according to Scambler, the criticism comes down to one thing:
people still haven’t seen him get hit.
“They know I have the power. They just haven’t seen me take a hit yet.”
Ironically, Scambler doesn’t see that as a problem.
“You get paid the same whether you get hit or not.”
Still, he understands that eventually, if he keeps winning, the questions about his chin will have to be answered — especially if a matchup with champion Robert Trujillo materializes.
Because against Trujillo, Scambler already knows what would happen:
“He’s going to strike first. So we’re gonna find out.”
Dakota McGregor Fight Could Be Next
With the lightweight division lacking depth, Scambler acknowledged that Dakota McGregor may be the logical next matchup.
And it’s a fight he welcomes.
“Who wouldn’t want to fight that guy?”
Scambler believes stylistically it’s an excellent matchup and says he feels confident in both his power and durability.
“I feel like I could take his strikes.”
The only complication?
Because McGregor is Canadian, the fight would likely need to happen internationally — potentially at Power Slap Serbia later this year.
Scambler says he’s already preparing for that possibility.
“I just have to get my passport renewed.”
Using Power Slap to Build a Better Life
While many fighters might spend bonus money on luxury items, Scambler revealed his priorities are much different.
After earning another performance bonus and three checks at Power Slap 20, his goal is simple:
get his own place.
Scambler explained that he’s currently been staying with the owners of Dos Bros Coffee while training and building his Power Slap career.
Now, he wants a stable home for both his son and his girlfriend.
“I’m not a big materialistic guy.”
Instead of watches or flashy purchases, he’s investing directly into his future and family.
Bryan Scambler Is Becoming Impossible to Ignore
At 40 years old, Bryan Scambler continues to prove age is just a number.
The wrestling background, coaching experience, discipline, and obsessive attention to detail are all beginning to merge into one of the most dangerous formulas in Power Slap.
And if the knockouts keep coming like this, the title conversation may not be avoidable much longer.
