Some fighters arrive in Power Slap overnight.
Others… take a lifetime.
At Power Slap 19, Bryan Scambler finally steps up to the table for his long-awaited debut—and according to him, this moment has been building for 36 years.
A Lifetime of Preparation
For Scambler, this isn’t just another fight—it’s the culmination of decades in combat sports.
“It’s been 36 years in the making… I’m excited to put all my years of combat experience on the line.”
From wrestling to MMA and years spent coaching fighters, he brings a depth of experience rarely seen in a debutant.
Not New to the Spotlight
While it may be his first Power Slap match, Scambler isn’t new to performing under pressure.
“This isn’t my first rodeo under the lights… it’s fueling.”
Rather than nerves, the big stage energizes him—something that could be a major advantage against a fellow newcomer.
A Coach’s Mindset
Interestingly, Scambler doesn’t just see himself as a fighter—he sees himself as a teacher of the game.
“I feel like a coach… I break things down and help others perform better.”
That analytical mindset has helped shape fighters around him—and now, he’s applying it to himself.
A Year in the Making
This isn’t a short training camp. It’s been a full transformation.
“It has been a year in the making.”
His routine is relentless:
- 4:00 AM starts
- Mobility, recovery, and band work
- Power and cardio sessions
- Second daily training block
- Constant repetition throughout the day
“I don’t think anybody else is training like that in Power Slap.”
More Than Just a Slap
One of the biggest misconceptions about the sport? Simplicity.
Scambler strongly disagrees.
“There’s so much that goes into it… foot placement, weight distribution, momentum, speed, accuracy.”
From mechanics to timing, he believes mastery lies in the details—especially when it comes to legal strikes and bracing.
The Game Plan: Simple but Brutal
Despite the technical depth, his strategy is clear:
“Go in there, hit him as hard as I can, and put him to sleep.”
Confidence isn’t lacking—and neither is preparation.
“I don’t think he has the technical abilities or training regimen to do damage to me.”
Size Disadvantage, No Problem
Scambler expects to be the smaller man in the matchup, standing at 5’6” against a taller opponent.
But he’s embracing it.
“I’m coming from under with a thunder.”
Sometimes, leverage and mechanics can outweigh height—and he’s betting on that.
Built for Victory
This isn’t just physical preparation—it’s mental.
“I’ve trained my mind to be the victor… I’m not losing this match.”
There’s no hesitation in his belief system. No backup plan.
Just execution.
Weight Class Reality
Originally aiming for 155 lbs, Scambler will compete at 170 lbs for this fight.
- No harsh weight cut
- Clear mind
- Full strength
But long term?
“My home’s at 155.”
No Surprises Expected
When asked if his opponent could bring anything unexpected, Scambler kept it blunt:
“No… other than a club. But I’ll see that coming.”
That confidence comes from preparation—not guesswork.
Final Message
To his opponent:
“Step up or step out.”
Short. Direct. No fluff.
Power Slap 19
For Bryan Scambler, this isn’t just a debut.
It’s:
- A lifetime of combat experience finally on display
- A coach stepping into his own test
- A fighter proving he belongs
And if his mindset holds true…
He’s not showing up to compete—he’s showing up to win.
