The big topic this Monday morning (27) around the world is, without a doubt, Will Smith's attack on Chris Rock last Sunday night (27), during the Oscar awards ceremony. After the comedian made a joke aimed at Jada Smith, Will's wife, the actor got up from his seat, went to the stage and slapped Rock in the face.

What happened raised old debates, both on social media and in “elevator conversations”, regarding the limits of humor and the use of violence in cases like these. Among the thousands of people who expressed their opinions on the case, we have several world MMA stars.
UFC President, Dana White seems to have been amused by what happened and took the opportunity to praise Chris Rock's chin.
"Finally!!!!! An Oscar edition that is worth watching. And Chris Rock has a chin,” wrote Dana.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93 kg), Jon Jones He was also watching the awards ceremony and gave his opinion on the conflict.
“Anyone watching the Oscars? Will Smith is a gangster for that, Chris Rock was the ultimate professional for the way he carried on,” the former champion wrote.
Former middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg), Michael Bisping praised the attitude taken by Will Smith.
“Will Smith is a f***ing legend. Talk shit, get hit”, said the Brit.
It is obvious that no one would overlook the recent confusion involving Jorge masvidal e Colby covington, in Miami, when Masvidal was arrested after attacking his rival in a “surprise attack” in a restaurant in the city.
Former UFC fighter Mike Pierce asked his followers who had the best surprise punch in recent weeks: Will Smith or Masvidal?

“Whose surprise blow was the best?” asked the former fighter.
Lastly, Sean Strickland, next opponent of Alex Poatán in the UFC, took the opportunity to provoke Colby covington, joking about the fact that the former interim welterweight champion (up to 77 kg) went to the police after Masvidal's attack.
"LOL!!! If it were the Colby covington, he would be on the phone calling the police while trying to s*** Trump. Well done, Chris Rock. You took it like a man. You should pick him up in the parking lot, lol,” Strickland teased.
