Former two-division UFC champion<\/a> Conor McGregor has issued a statement amid the ongoing George Floyd protests, condemning the racism and injustice sweeping the United States and the planet.<\/p>\n

Floyd, and African American, was killed by a caucasian police officer in Minneapolis last month. The officer was subsequently charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Ever since, the country has been roiling with impassioned protests, as citizens demand an end to the deep-rooted and festering racism that led to Floyd’s killing.<\/p>\n

During this turbulent time, McGregor is calling for understanding and unity.<\/p>\n

There is no place for injustice, racism and intolerance in this world! We must really listen and learn from those in pain. Be the example of the change you want to see!! Praying, hoping, and believing everyday that this is all a part of the lords plan to lead us to a better and brighter future ahead. God speed everyone 💔<\/a><\/p>\n
