UFC Star Jorge Masvidal Blames Jada Pinkett-Smith for Chris Rock Oscars Slap – “Dawg, You Better Not Be Laughing”

UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal gave his verdict on the famous Oscar controversy between Will Smith and Chris Rock. ‘Gamebred’ believes actor Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith gave him a ‘Go-ahead’ at the award show.

In an unusual event last month, the famous American actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on the stage after the latter made a joke about his wife. It was just moments before the “King Richard” actor Smith received the Oscar for the best actor.

Many UFC fans and athletes have already given their opinion on the incident. Some criticized the actor for his action, while others believed Rock was wrong for making a joke about Smith’s wife.

Now, ‘Gamebred’ has also given his thoughts on the same. Recently, Masvidal appeared on the latest episode of the ‘Impaulsive’ channel with Logan Paul, where he discussed his alleged confrontation with his rival, Colby Covington, his UFC career, the Oscar incident, and more.

During the podcast, Mike Maljak revealed an incident similar to the Oscars where a famous Rapper heckled a comedian on stage. While sharing his thoughts on the same, ‘Gamebred’ said, “For the Will Smith thing, I am gonna say; I don’t know. The only thing I found that was funny is that he laughed originally.”

“Then he looked at his chick. She gave him a go-ahead like, dog you better not be laughing. That was hilarious to be. But I mean to each his own, everybody chooses to handle their business. That’s theirs, you know,” Masvidal concluded. 

Jorge Masvidal wants a ton of money to fight Jake Paul

Ever since ‘The Problem Child’ transitioned to professional boxing, he has been calling out the UFC elite fighters for a match. The number eight UFC welterweight contender ‘Gamebred’ is also on his radar.

Both Paul and Masvidal have had a ton of back and forth on the internet. However, they are yet to agree to a fight. Interestingly, Masvidal is ready to fight the Ohio native, but he has one condition.

“I love money and if it made me money, like a ton of it, why the f*** not?” Masvidal said on the same podcast.

The ‘Gamebred’ is coming off a recent loss against his rival Covington at UFC 272. He is currently on a three-fight skid. However, he has signed a new multi-fight deal with the UFC, which included him in the top-5 highest paid UFC fighters list.

Hence, we might not see the Paul vs. Masvidal fight coming to fruition for now due to legal barriers. However, strange things happen in the sport called mixed martial arts.
