Travis Scott couldn’t hide his bemusement as he watched a brutal knockout.
Rapper Travis Scott has pretty much given us gif gold.
While at Power Slap event Slap 6, yes, these events are building traction now, he saw a stunning knockout.
On Feb 9, Jackie Cataline was facing off against Sheena Bathory and their battle was short... to say the least.

Cataline went first and delivered a stinging slap to Bathory who went completely floppy and collapsed to the floor.
The crowd ooo'd and ahhh'd as Cataline walked away flexing but it was Scott’s reaction that got attention.
The music star removed his glasses as he pulled a befuddled face while looking from the crowd to the stage, seemingly unable to comprehend what he just witnessed.
Surprisingly, Bathory won by disqualification as Cataline’s blow was deemed illegal by the judges. I’m sure Bathory was pleased... when she regained consciousness.
The moment has already gone viral on social media and has been viewed more than 10 million times since being posted on February 14.
“Why's he looking around like he just randomly appeared there with no context,” one user wrote.
“The levels of oblivion he is experiencing right now is uncanny,” a second added.
“New GIF, New meme, Thanks Travis,” another joked.
“Why bro acting like he just spawned in there lmao,” a fourth added
“He’s adding up the math-slap 😂 it wasn’t mathing in his head,” another commented.
Slapping competitions have grown in popularity over the years and is popping up in more places.
Power slap is led by UFC president Dana White and considers itself the ‘world’s premier slap fighting organization.’
There are quite a few rules to the new sport but it essentially boils down to this, two people stand in front of each other and take turns slapping the living daylights out of each other until one of them can take no more punishment.
Stand your ground when it's your opponent's turn to hit you, slap your opponent in the face when it's your turn to hit them and try not to get knocked out on the first slap.
Certainly not for the faint hearted, be it watchers or competitors - and social media users have now questioned why the sport has been growing. Guess you have got to give the people what they want and for some reason, people are really in to seeing people slap the stuffing out of one another.
