UFC light heavyweight Jimi Manuwa , Bellator standout Michael Page and UFC middleweight Darren Stewart linked up in the England capital city and joined hundreds of people in the streets to protest the death of George Floyd. Floyd, a black man, was killed this past week after being held down by white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was captured on video pinning Floyd down with a knee on his neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd repeatedly said he could not breathe and begged to be let up. Floyd’s death has resulted in protests around the world, many of which have been peaceful, but also have resulted in looting and rioting, reportedly largely by individuals not there to protest. The protests made it across the globe, with thousands in the U.K.

Rising welterweight star and England’s own Leon Edwards was set to face former UFC 170-pound champion Tyron Woodley in the UFC on ESPN+ 29 main event, looking to emerge as a title contender. It would have been the latest in a series of memorable U.K. events dating back to UFC 38, which headlined by a matchup between then UFC welterweight champ Matt Hughes, and Carlos Newton, which took place in London on July 13, 2002, at the Royal Albert Hall. And throughout the years, plenty of English fighters got the opportunity to headline cards at home, putting on memorable performances in front of a sold out O2 Arena. With the cancellation of the event, we take a look at some of the best moments in the British capital.

Manuwa, 39, announced Tuesday on Instagram that he is retiring from mixed martial arts. The decision comes three days after Manuwa (17-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC) suffered a brutal head-kick knockout loss to Aleksandar Rakic at UFC on ESPN+ 11. In his statement, Manuwa expressed concern for his well being and the toll it’s has taken on his family as he’s endured a four-fight losing streak that included three knockouts. “I’ve had a great martial arts career, and the last (four) fights have been tough losses to take not only for myself but for my family, who is always first,” Manuwa said . “I’ve given out mostly knockouts and taken a few myself; that’s my fan-loving style, but it takes a toll on the body, especially concussions, which are not visible to the eye.” Related Buy UFC 238 on PPV and get 1 year of ESPN+ for only $79.99 (advertisement) UFC 238: How to watch Cejudo vs
