Following a recent promotional video for Power Slap, Dana White found himself in Jake Paul’s crosshairs. The video apparently featured a young woman in a weird situation, which Paul swiftly called out as desperate and inappropriate.
The context matters here. White has been aggressively promoting his Power Slap business, a controversial entertainment venture valued between $750 million and $1 billion. His recent promotional tactics have drawn significant attention – and not always the kind he might want as is evident from Paul’s reaction.
“55 yrs old, wheeling around 20 yr old only fans girls to try and get views? 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,” wrote Paul on X.

The video in question, featuring a young woman in a suitcase, seems designed to shock and attract attention. Jake Paul’s critique went beyond just the video. He questioned the professionalism of a married, wealthy businessman seemingly trying to generate shock value. And this isn’t the first time he has publicly challenged White.
Whether it’s a brilliant marketing move or a misstep remains to be seen. What’s clear is that Jake Paul isn’t afraid to call it out. This adds another chapter to their ongoing public sparring match.

Imagine scamming millions of people on a stream that doesn’t even work to fake “fight” a 60 year old man who had no interest in competing.
