Leslie Smith is not one to stay silent when it comes to important issues.
The Bellator featherweight has long been an advocate for fighter rights, but she’s currently focused on getting involved with more pressing matters, namely the Black Lives Matters protests that have surged across North America in the wake of George Floyd’s death after he was the victim of police brutality in Minneapolis.
In her native California, Smith has already attended two protests – one in Oakland and the other in Walnut Creek – with both proving to be eventful and somewhat volatile.
