Joe Rogan discussed the incident that occurred between Will Smith and Chris Rock during the Oscars with former UFC heavyweight fighter Josh Barnett in a new episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. Here are the best moments from the podcast.
Josh Barnett is the former UFC heavyweight fighter with a 35-8-0 (W-L-D). He made his debut in the UFC against Roy Nelson and won the bout. Barnett stepped inside the Octagon for the last time against Andrei Arlovski in September 03, 2016.
Joe Rogan believes that Will Smith's act was a glorification of violence and not at all justified.
According to Rogan, it was a foolish impulse from Will's side without him thinking of the consequences.
Josh Barnett said that according to him the matter should have been dealt backstage later on or Will should have just stood up for himself instead of being violent.
Rogan disagreed with Barnett and said that Chris is a professional comedian who was just doing his job and Will should have respected that instead of slapping him.
Joe Rogan believes that Will Smith didn't think of the consequences and behaved as if he was living in a fictional movie.
