Almost a year later, the Will Smith-Chris Rock Oscars incident garners reactions from the UFC world. Smith set off a huge controversy when he walked on stage and slapped the host, Chris Rock, after the latter made a joke about Smith’s wife. The 54-year-old actor had to face fire from all directions after his actions on one of the biggest stages of the world.

Now, as the Oscars approach yet again, former UFC star Brendan Schaub has a warning for Will Smith. A stand-up comic himself, Schaub had a few reminders for Smith about facing the wrath of a comic.

In a recent video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Schaub sat down with Bryan Callen for an hour-long chat. During their conversation, they stumbled upon the upcoming Academy Awards Ceremony and the controversy from the previous year.
