Oscar de la Hoya and Dana White’s rocky relationship has taken a turn for the worse, with de la Hoya using White’s recent altercation with his wife to mock him on social media.
The two have gone back and forth over the years, with White even calling de la Hoya a “coke head” during their disputes. While they had previously agreed to a truce after de la Hoya apologized for his role in their beef, it appears that tensions are once again high between the two.
“My good friend [Dana White] is so greedy he decided to steal fighter pay from his new league on TBS ‘Power Slap’ by getting fighter of the night against his WIFE,” De La Hoya tweeted. “Those Boston aerobic instructors are real tough guys.”

The incident that sparked de la Hoya’s recent tweet occurred on New Year’s Eve when White and his wife were caught on camera having a physical altercation at a Cabo San Lucas nightclub. White slapped his wife after she struck him during a drunken argument.
The couple has since apologized to each other, and White’s wife claims that this was the first time her husband has gotten physical with her.
Many in the MMA community have weighed in on the incident, with fighters including Jamahal Hill offering their thoughts on who bears responsibility for the heated moment.
White has not yet responded to de la Hoya’s tweet, but it remains to be seen whether he will hit back. It appears that de la Hoya has embraced his potentially indefinite beef with the UFC President.
The back-and-forth between Oscar de la Hoya and Dana White is just the latest chapter in their tumultuous relationship. The two have had a series of public disputes over the years, with tensions appearing to escalate after de la Hoya criticized the booking of the Conor McGregor/Floyd Mayweather fight.
It remains to be seen how this latest incident will impact their relationship moving forward. White’s altercation with his wife has generated widespread attention, and only time will tell how it will affect his reputation and public image. De la Hoya’s tweet mocking White has only added fuel to the fire, and it’s possible that the two will continue to exchange barbs on social media in the days to come.
