‘UK is not innocent’ - MMA fighters Page, Manuwa and Stewart join Black Lives Matter march in London

All fifty states in the US have each seen protests and rallies in recent days, with the killing of George Floyd reigniting a global movement that highlights decades of injustice, oppression, and systemic racism. People from various countries have also joined in, and MMA fighters from outside the US have been taking part as well.

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya gave an impassioned speech in New Zealand recently, and now more MMA stars also marched in London. As seen on social media, British fighters from both Bellator and UFC in Michael Page, Jimi Manuwa and Darren Stewart all supported the Black Lives Matter movement on Wednesday.
