With Race Tensions High, Team McGregor Offers Message Of Hope Between Sparring Partners

With race tensions high in the world right now, one of UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor’s training partners posted a heartfelt message about what is going on in the world today.

Boxer, and former UFC fighter, Dashon Johnson sent out a message about race and his love for his teammate of a different race on his Instagram account.

In a world filled with so much racism and hate, along with recent horrific events that have occurred in Virginia, I hope this picture spreads some light and love on that matter.. as you can see here, we are from different parts of the world and backgrounds-two brother from different mothers, showing love to one another…come August 26th my heart bleeds for this man and is in his corner regardless the outcome, not because of his skill, but because he is a great human being and continues to show it outside the ring or octagon.

Next week, McGregor will make his professional boxing debut when he fights boxing icon Floyd “Money” Mayweather.

Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Aug. 26 in Las Vegas.
