Thanks to Will Smith, this year's Oscars are being talked about more than most of its previous years. It's not, however, for the reasons you think. The world is currently talking about the moment when The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air walked up to the stage and abruptly slapped Chris Rock. It was right after a joke that Rock made about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and her shaved head.

The internet exploded as various personalities, fans, celebrities, and talking heads shared their two cents on the incident. With the scene involving a physical altercation, needless to say, the fight world had its thoughts on the matter as well.

From UFC president Dana White to former UFC champs Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier to ONE grappling phenom Gordon Ryan, fight professionals took a lot of interest in the famed slap. Below are some of the comments that they posted on social media:

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

Anyone watching the #Oscars? Will Smith is a gangster for that one, Chris rock was the ultimate professional for the way he continued

With the internet being a hotbed of memes and all sorts of viral posts, it's no surprise as well that social media also exploded with hilarious content:

Thank you Will Smith for giving us this wonderful March 2022 meme 😆😂 https://t.co/cdyE1LH7Q4

One of the most recent and hilarious content produced was by ONE Championship's resident man on the mic, 'The Voice' himself, Michael Schiavello. The veteran fight commentator has one of the most distinct voices in MMA. He has turned sports into epic moments with his powerful words delivered with absolute conviction and passion.

In one of his most recent Twitter posts, Schiavello's voice was dubbed over the slapping incident and it was pure brilliance. It even had his trademark "It's good night, Irene!" as Will Smith landed the slap. The only thing missing is Joe Rogan's classic exclamation when a fighter gets knocked out and he yells, "Ohhhhh!"

Watch the hilarious video here:

Some people have too much time on their hands! I don’t know who did this but LOL 😂 | GOOD NIGHT IRENE! All it’s missing is some @joerogan 🔥 @ONEChampionship @TheRock #WillSmith #ChrisRock #Oscars2022 #SlapChrisRock #SlapGate https://t.co/U45lnF5BkP
