UFC's Israel Adesanya Speaks at New Zealand Rally: 'I'm Pissed Off'

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya attended a march held in solidarity with Black Lives Matter on Monday in Auckland, New Zealand, which was staged after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

MMA Junkie's Dave Doyle shared some of Adesanya's when he addressed the crowd:

"I'm pissed off. Wait, hold up. How many of you walk into a store and have to put your hands behind your back just so they don't think you're stealing? How many of you walk down the street and have to kind of smile and try to make you see the person who already is scared of you, you make them feel comfortable?
