Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell played the role of peacemaker during protests in Southern California over the weekend.

Peaceful protests and violent riots have occurred throughout the United States after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd by placing his knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest last week. That includes Huntington Beach, California, where in a video posted by Los Angeles station ABC7, Liddell can be seen stepping in to break up a confrontation between two groups of people.
