Jake Paul is once again at odds with UFC CEO Dana White. This time, he has taken to X to express his disgust at White’s latest social media collaboration for Power Slap. That collab was with adult content creator Jelly Bean Brains, aka Jameliz Benitez Smith.
Power Slap is under the sanctions of the Nevada State Athletic Commission and a brainchild of Dana White, Frank, and Lorenzo Fertitta, and the CBO/brass litigation. It enlists TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO) brass as investors but does not link to it. White proudly touts its value to be near $750 million in just a year.
There’s not much he won’t do for his slap-fighting league, including highjacking a Hollywood A-lister and TKO board member’s movie promo. Now, Jake Paul slams him for reverting to OnlyFans of all things to promote it.

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 https://t.co/mW3Rvpoqn3
Smith and White teamed up to try to get the fans excited for this week’s Power Slap event. However, Paul feels that White’s ego is to blame, accusing him of doing sketches with a woman decades younger than him. The Problem Child and the UFC CEO are locked in a high-profile feud. Paul previously accused White of using cocaine and ripped into him for his wife-slapping fiasco. Paul, a PFL signee, also urged Dana White to switch up his set-in-stone $50k fighter compensations.
In lieu of the underpay blame, White often returns the favor with blame for PED usage. He also weighed in multiple times against the Paul vs. Mike Tyson scrap that headlined MVP’s Netflix boxing event from the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium. While he thinks Paul has no room to critique him, it’s just habit.
Jake Paul also billed Francis Ngannou for clout chasing
In the aftermath of Jake Paul’s much-criticized victory over 58-year-old Mike Tyson, ‘The Problem Child’ received a threat from Francis Ngannou. He tweeted that he wanted to slap him the next time their paths crossed. “Slap” as in a power wordplay over this? One just never knows.
Paul was the media kickoff emcee for Ngannou’s PFL ‘Battle of the Giants’ pay-per-view. In the lead-up, a frantic ‘Franny’ had warned him of Tyson’s KO power (his boxing coach). When said KO did not happen, Ngannou threatened a knockout for subjecting the almost-60 Tyson to a lopsided beatdown. Paul addressed Ngannou’s tweet with one of his own.
This is again pertaining to his mediator roles for the PFL ‘Battle of the Giants’ pay-per-view. Speaking of Ngannou’s PFL debut, Paul considered him the true MMA heavyweight and not UFC’s Jon Jones. Ngannou retired as the lineal beltholder and “Bones” took up the vacant grub.
While the disagreement between the pair on social media seemed to hint at the start of a feud, it never went anywhere. Ngannou dismissed any notion of a potential fight between them. But it’s PFL after all – never say never. A lifelong cruiserweight, Paul is at a limit above in hydration too. That, his ‘Problem’ gimmick, and the fact he just outdid ‘Iron’ Mike may just bolster his confidence.
