As reported by The New York Times, James Alex Fields Jr. was charged on Saturday for second-degree murder. In Charlottesville, Va., the individual drove his vehicle into a line of cars, injuring many people protesting a white nationalist rally. The act also caused the death of one 32-year-old woman.
The protest has since drawn national attention, bringing many individuals to voice their thoughts on the recent tragedy. Now, many UFC fighters have provided their reactions to the tragic event over social media.
