Georges St-Pierre reacts to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock
Finally, someone has managed to “Impress” UFC legend Georges St-Pierre with their performance. The greatest welterweight of all time reacts to the drama at the 94th Academy Awards as Will Smith slaps comedian Chris Rock live on national television.
It is fair to say that the whole world has been talking about one thing and it is the shocking event of legendary actor Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock for a joke on the actor’s wife, Jada Smith. Smith walked up to the stage and actually slapped Rock while the comedian took that slap like a champ. While most of the world was shocked at the actor doing this during the award show, the MMA community was more concerned about Chris Rock’s chin.
Georges St-Pierre, like many others in the MMA world, was truly impressed by Rock’s ability to shake that slap off as nothing happened. In his recent interview with Ariel Helwani on the latest episode of MMA Hour, GSP spoke about the Oscars event and gave his thoughts on it.
“I think it was a very fast slap that he threw,” said Georges St-Pierre on Will Smith-Chris Rock. “But I think Chris Rock has a hell of a chin. I think I am more impressed by Chris Rock. I am more impressed by Rock’s performance than Will Smith.” Watch the uncensored video of the Oscars moment below:
