Jake Paul joked about UFC CEO Dana White's cameo in a Power Slap promo as he reignited their year-long feud.
The long-running feud between Jake Paul and UFC CEO Dana White has many chapters and layers, but the latest installment of their beef may 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 has been a strong supporter of better pay for UFC fighters, despite White exclaiming that payouts will not change dramatically under his leadership.
After two years of banter between Paul and White, two of the top personalities in combat sports, things between them calmed down over the past year. Until White took center stage in a bizarre Power Slap promo with influencer Jelly Bean.
It didn't take long for Paul to leave on White after the promo went viral on social media.

Jake Paul scolds Dana White over strange Power Slap promo
In a recent tweet, Paul renewed his feud with White by calling out his bizarre Power Slap promo.
“55 years old, around 20 years old, just fans of girls to try to get opinions?” Paul tweeted.
“Power chasing and ego know no age limit. Imagine you're worth $500 million, married with kids and posting these cringe-inducing videos, using UFC accounts to get people to watch your clap-fest online.
At the time of writing, White has not responded to Paul's latest online taunts. White and the UFC are hours away from their final pay-per-view card of 2024, headlined by a UFC flyweight title clash.

Jake Paul adds a new chapter to the Dana White feud
Despite their checkered history, White credited Paul for Netflix's streaming success of the Tyson fight. Paul and Tyson earned eight-figure paydays as a result of their highly publicized boxing match.
Paul and White's problems include online challenges, name-calling and wild accusations over the 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 has had a strong critic in White, who has blasted Paul for facing aging competition instead of challenging himself against boxing's elite.
Despite Paul's clamor for fights with big names like Canelo Alvarez, White is giving Paul little chance of a signature victory over one of boxing's current stars. For the victory over Tyson, Paul defeated boxing veterans Ryan Bourland and Andre August, along with former UFC superstar Nate Diaz.
Nearly four years after their feud, Paul and White will likely never be on good terms. It may be just a matter of time before things flare up again between the two polarizing personalities.
