The Puerto Rican Rambo is back.
After more than a year away from the Power Slap stage, Jonathan Correa returns to action at Power Slap 18 on March 6 in Las Vegas, taking on newcomer Jordan Oasis in a pivotal heavyweight matchup.
And according to Correa, fans should expect a completely different version of him.
“The old Rambo is gone. I’m pumped. I’m ready to lay the smack down.”
Jonathan Correa vs. Jordan Oasis: What We Know
There isn’t much footage available on Jordan Oasis, but Correa has done his homework.
Here’s what stands out:
-
Oasis has a background in professional wrestling
-
He’s clearly athletic
-
He showed a rotational step in his previous match that wasn’t called
Correa also pointed out a key difference:
“The guy he faced never got slapped before. I’ve taken a slap.”
That experience, especially at heavyweight, matters.
Correa’s Record and Long Layoff
Jonathan Correa currently sits at 1-1 in Power Slap:
-
✅ Win over Logan Greenhall (disqualification)
-
❌ Loss to Delvin Helmlett (October 2023)
It’s been a long wait since his last appearance — but Correa insists that time has been well spent.
“During that wait, I had enough time to get ready.”
He even admitted his weight climbed as high as 264–265 pounds during the layoff before refocusing and dialing back in.
Now?
He says he feels most comfortable around 248–250 pounds — the range where he believes he performs best.
A New-Look Rambo: What’s Changed?
Correa promises evolution — not just physically, but technically and mentally.
“New Rambo. New personality. Different technique. Different everything.”
The heavyweight division has evolved rapidly. Fighters now must:
-
Absorb punishment
-
Deliver clean, powerful strikes
-
Maintain composure under pressure
Correa says he’s adapted.
Training with “Stonehand Grasshopper” from Brazil
One of the biggest changes in Correa’s preparation is his work with the Stonehand Grasshopper from Brazil, a polarizing but highly dedicated student of the sport.
Correa credits him with helping overhaul his defensive mechanics and strike structure.
Key Adjustments Include:
-
Shortening his strike (less overhook motion)
-
Better hip alignment and positioning
-
Tightening neck preparation before impact
-
Improved defensive readiness
-
Flexibility and athletic-focused training
He also adopted an unconventional drill:
Getting dizzy intentionally and immediately delivering a slap.
The goal? Simulate being rocked and training the body to respond under compromised conditions.
Correa says the changes have added new layers to his game while maintaining his raw strength.
And make no mistake — the power is still there.
“I can still lift over 450 pounds with no problem.”
Coin Toss? Chin Matters More
Like many fighters in today’s Power Slap landscape, Correa understands the coin toss isn’t what it once was.
If you can’t take a slap, you won’t climb the ranks.
Correa has never been dropped in the first round — and he believes his experience absorbing strikes gives him a key edge over Oasis.
A Message to Jordan Oasis
Correa isn’t big on trash talk.
But he made his intentions clear:
“Bring your best. When I beat you, I don’t want no excuses. Let’s put on a show.”
It’s respectful — but direct.
Heavyweight Implications at Power Slap 18
The heavyweight division continues to evolve rapidly, and this matchup could determine who stays relevant moving forward.
For Jonathan Correa, this isn’t just a comeback.
It’s a reset.
He’s returning leaner, more technical, more athletic — and still powerful.
And if he’s right, fans in Las Vegas are about to meet a brand-new version of the Puerto Rican Rambo.
Power Slap 18. March 6. Las Vegas.
Don’t blink.
