Viral kiss between MMA fighters Craig Jones and Gabi Garcia sparks outrage online

A viral kiss between two MMA fighters has divided fans online over how to handle the incident. Brazilian wrestler Gabi Garcia (female) will face Australian wrestler and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Craig Jones (male) in a cross-gender bout on Saturday as part of the Craig Jones Invitational in Las Vegas. But during their weigh-in on Thursday, Jones shocked Garcia and fans alike when he forced a kiss on her. The moment was captured on video, and Garcia can be heard telling Jones he “went too far.” Commenters on social media across the internet echoed that sentiment. “And that, ladies and gentlemen, is sexual harassment, but because it's Gabi Garcia, nobody cares,” wrote one social media commenter on X who describes himself as an MMA “fanatic.” Others seemed to believe that the whole thing was just a ploy to promote the fight after Craig announced the fight was “canceled” and later announced it was back on. Another commentator added: “Is this all PR or has it gone too far…!?!” Time will tell which of them emerges victorious.
