Sunday night, social media was ablaze when Will Smith struck Chris Rock at the Oscars for making a “GI Jane” quip about Jada Pinkett Smith. MMA personalities all discussed the viral moment, including UFC President Dana White, who praised the comedian’s ability to take a shot.

Several fighters also chimed in, bringing in hot takes and even some quickly made memes.
Very hard to surprise me nowadays but watching Will Smith slap the shit out of Chris Rock is very surprising! I’m actually amazed that this happened. You could see the moment Will started to feel played

OK full circle… GI Jane was sexy so maybe Will Smith thought Chris Rock was trying to fuck his wife, because she was known to throw the pussy around… idk man odd world. Time to go back to giving zero fucks about movie stars. Just a rare occasion of violence.. hmmm…
