Pretty cool of him and Shaw to be doing that.

It's a shame the guy's life was taken. Violence is one of man's worst enemies. May he RIP.

It's a great gesture.

My only concern is that Chad is liking the hometown fight too much. He never gets to fight at home and this is his biggest fight at home ever. I hope he's not distracted.
