Black Buffalo Taps Power Slap’s Branden Bordeaux as Brand Ambassador
March 27, 2025
Not everyone who takes a hit knows how to come back stronger. Branden Bordeaux does.
Before Power Slap ever existed, Branden was grinding toward a dream of becoming a UFC champion — until a serious back injury forced him out of the cage and into surgery. A lot of people would've walked away. Branden went back to work.
He sharpened his focus, picked up the tools of his trade, and built a butcher business with his brother that now serves all of West Michigan. Cattle, hogs, deer processing — hard work, no shortcuts. Just the kind of daily grind that forges grit you can't fake.
So when Power Slap came along, Branden saw a second shot. A real opportunity to compete again — to provide, to prove something, and to pick up where the dream left off.
Today, Branden "The Butcher" Bordeaux is rising fast in the sport. Every slap carries purpose. He doesn't fight out of ego. He fights with intent. For legacy. For his family. For the four kids he wakes up for every morning.
This isn't some fairytale redemption arc. It's built from scar tissue and early mornings. Branden turns setbacks into momentum and momentum into something that lasts.
He still runs the butcher shop. Still shows up before sunrise. Still trains like the next match could change everything.
“My journey to becoming Powerslap middleweight world champion has been an amazing ride. From winning season 2 of the reality show "road to the title" to climbing the ranks over the last year and a half, to getting a huge 1st round finish as the main event for Powerslap 12 to winning the world title. I was introduced to Black Buffalo Tobacco Alternative because I am a longtime dipper. Amazing company, with amazing products, run by even better people, and that's what means the most to me. I am very honored to be part of the Black Buffalo family and to have such a great team of individuals behind me!” – Branden "The Butcher" Bordeaux
We back people who show up with purpose and leave it all on the line. People who wear their name with pride and fight like it means something. Branden’s one of those guys.
We’re proud to welcome Branden as a Black Buffalo Brand Ambassador.
