Jon Jones, Dana White and UFC Fans React to Will Smith ‘Smacking the Sh*t Out Of’ Chris Rock at the Oscars

The Oscars 2022 was a wild ride. With some of the best acting performances of the year, the show was an absolute blast. Notably, one particular instance from this year will stand out in the Oscars’ history forever. Among others, UFC personalities Dana White, Jon Jones, and others reacted to the Oscars’ drama on Twitter.

Actor Will Smith slapped renowned stand-up comedian and actor Chris Rock on stage after the former made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair, who suffers from a form of alopecia (hair loss).

This moment will go down in Oscars’ history as one of the most controversial and confusing moments ever. Fans watching worldwide were seemingly shocked, and the MMA community and other personalities were pouring in their reactions.

Jon Jones was flabbergasted to see what happened on stage and had to see it twice to understand what happened.

Personalities of the MMA world and other sporting disciplines reacted to Will Smith’s action on stage.

Really sad to see Will Smith have a mental health breakdown on live TV. The guy completely snapped tonight. Not sure why he’s been given such a long acceptance speech either. Dude just committed a crime and is basically given a pass now. Violence shouldn’t be normalized. #Oscars

If @willsmith seriously did that — and he wins the OSCAR — he just stained the greatest moment of his career. You cannot do that S$&@!!Especially as a BLACK MAN, in that position, to ANOTHER BLACK MAN(@chrisrock) on THAT STAGE. If this was not a joke, Will won’t live this down!!!
