The troubled fighter used the n-word and ranted about George Floyd during a troublesome livestream. This came along with a now-deleted social media post which read: “Fuck all n—— and Fuck all Muslims.”

The livestream was disturbing to listen to and makes you realise how troubled Garcia is and why the WBC have taken action: “I hate n——, I’m anti-black, I’m the KKK. Hey, let’s go bring George Floyd back to life and go kill that n—– again,” Garcia said during the livestream.
