“FINALLY!!!!! there’s an Oscars show worth watching” – How MMA Twitter reacted to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock live at the Oscars

Will Smith smacked comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, at the Oscars on Sunday night and the MMA community was quick to react to it.

“Jada, I love you, G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it,” Chris Rock said during his monologue, mocking Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. Pinkett Smith, who has previously spoken about her hair loss difficulties, was offended by the joke, and her husband rushed on stage and smacked Rock, reportedly yelling, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth,” before returning to his seat.

The incident went viral quickly, and the MMA world reacted to it on social media, with some praising Rock’s ability to take a shot, others making jokes and comparing it to Jorge Masvidal’s alleged attack on Colby Covington, and the rest are just joking around about a circumstance that seems more appropriate for the World MMA Awards than the Oscars.
