Dana White was impressed with Chris Rock after Will Smith assault.
UFC president Dana White knows a thing or two about fighting. And it’s no surprise that after what happened at the 2022 Oscars, White would have something to say.
Shortly after the end of the Academy Awards, White took to Twitter to share his thoughts … and he was impressed with Chris Rock for taking Will Smith’s slap so well.
“FINALLY!!!!! there’s an #Oscars show worth watching. AND @chrisrock has a chin,” White tweeted.
In case you missed it … here’s what happened.
During Rock’s presentation of the winner for the Best Documentary Feature, he made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith starring in “GI Jane 2” due to her shaved head. Pinkett-Smith has been vocal about her struggle with Alopecia and it triggered her husband’s violent reaction. Smith got out of his seat and walked up to the stage and struck Rock, then said “Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth” all of it censored on American TV.
Something similar happened just last week to two UFC fighters when Jorge Masvidal sucker-punched Colby Covington on the streets of Miami.
White hasn’t reacted to that one yet, though.
