The Only Time a Professional MMA Fighter Named “Chris Rock” Scored a Win in His Career

The most recent Oscar fiasco was one of the most unfortunate yet lively moments in the program’s history. Will Smith slapping Chris Rock over a joke directed at Smith’s wife has cemented itself in the history of Hollywood. Speculating what would happen if Chris Rock and Will Smith fought professionally has been bantering for a while.

Although it turns out, the name Chris Rock doesn’t seem to do too well in the world of MMA. An actual MMA fighter named Chris Rock’s track record has been revealed on the website Sherdog. With one win and eight losses, the name doesn’t seem to be fortunate enough to proceed towards greatness in the world of MMA.

It seems as though Rock has one win in his whole career, which was achieved by a rear-naked choke against another fighter named Brandon Palmer in the Alaskan Fighting Championship. This was back in 2009, which was more than a decade before the infamous Rock-Smith incident. So it looks like the name’s held fortune only once for a time long before Chris Rock held his star status to the highest level.

After the incident took place, the internet fired up like a network of neurons firing at the highest rate possible. The internet came stacked with memes, speculations, and slander. You name it, and they had it.

One of the most interesting takes on the whole issue was when fans stated that the two of them should partake in a celebrity fight to hash out their differences. The YouTube star, Jake Paul, tweeted the following in response to the Oscars incident.

Fans wanted to see an actual fight between both of the celebrities since Will Smith practically sucker-punched Chris Rock on stage. With an opportunity for Rock to possibly get back at Will Smith, fans joked about this possibility in high fashion.

All jokes apart, how would Chris Rock fare in a fight against Will Smith? The Hollywood comedian has been in a skinny build for most of his life, with no record of his training in MMA or any sort of physical combat whatsoever. On the other hand, Will Smith has been a Hollywood action star, being a part of multimillion-dollar movie projects.

This includes a lot of stunts and action scenes, which definitely would require Will Smith to have a bit of combat training to execute some doable stunts. Right off the bat, Will Smith might be able to take on Chris Rock with little to no difficulty, but a full-blown training regime and then a fight would be hard to say.
