Jake Paul poked fun at UFC CEO Dana White’s cameo in a Power Slap promo as he re-ignited their years-long feud.
The longtime feud between Jake Paul and UFC CEO Dana White has many chapters and layers, but the latest episode of their beef might be the strangest yet.
Paul, who defeated White’s longtime friend Mike Tyson in his last boxing fight, is critical of White and the UFC’s business practices. He’s been a strong advocate for better UFC fighter pay, despite White exclaiming that payouts won’t change dramatically under his leadership.
After two years of banter between Paul and White, two of the top personalities in combat sports, things calmed down between them over the last year. Until, White took center stage in a bizarre Power Slap promo featuring influencer Jelly Bean.
It didn’t take long for Paul to go off on White after the promo went viral on social media.
Jake Paul scolds Dana White for odd Power Slap promo
In a recent tweet, Paul revamped his beef with White by scolding his bizarre Power Slap promo.
“55 yrs old, wheeling around 20 yr old only fans girls to try and get views?” Paul tweeted.
“Clout chasing & ego has no age limit. Imagine being worth $500m, married with kids & posting these cringe videos, using UFC accounts to get people to watch your slap party on-line.”
As of this writing, White hasn’t responded to Paul’s latest online taunts. White and the UFC are hours away from their final pay-per-view card of 2024, featuring a UFC flyweight title clash as the headliner.

Jake Paul adds new chapter to Dana White feud
Despite their checkered history, White gave credit to Paul for Netflix’s streaming success of the Tyson fight. Paul and Tyson made eight-figure paydays as a result of their hotly-discussed boxing match.
Paul and White’s beef includes online challenges, name-calling, and wild allegations over the last few years. White also accused Paul of using steroids during his boxing career.
Paul defeated multiple UFC legends, including Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley, during his professional boxing run. He’s had a strong critic in White, who has scolded Paul for facing aging competition instead of challenging himself against boxing’s elite.
Despite Paul’s calls for big-name fights like Canelo Alvarez, White gives Paul little chance at earning a signature win over one of the boxing’s current stars. Before the win over Tyson, Paul defeated boxing veterans Ryan Bourland and Andre August, along with former UFC superstar Nate Diaz.
Almost four years into their feud, Paul and White will likely never be on good terms. It could be a matter of time until things ramp up again between the two polarizing personalities.
