Conor McGregor has urged people to 'learn from those in pain' as the fallout continues from the shocking death of George Floyd.
Floyd, an unarmed black man, died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes despite him pleading that he could not breathe.
Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was charged on Friday with the murder of Mr Floyd, who was 46.
And as widespread protests against police brutality take place in America and beyond, UFC star McGregor said: "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."
It comes basketball legend Michael Jordan called on Americans to be a "collective" as they fight "against injustice and demand accountability."
He said: “I am deeply saddened, truly pained and plain angry. I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough.
“I don’t have answers, but our collective voices show strength and the inability to be divided by others. We must listen to each other, show compassion and empathy and never turn out backs on senseless brutality.
“We need to continue peaceful expressions against injustice and demand accountability.
"Our unified voice needs to put pressure on our leaders to change our laws, or else we need to use our vote to create systemic change. Every one of us needs to be part of the solution, and we must work together to ensure justice for all.
"My heart goes out to the family of George Floyd and to the countless others whose lives have been brutally and senselessly taken through acts of racism and injustice.
