Yesterday, I made a post on Charlie Brenneman fighting for the VFL's Broad Avenue Brawlers on Oct. 11 in Altoona. Also featured on the poster is former NFL player-turned MMA fighter (and Johnstown, Pa. native) Carlton Haselrig. Haselrig, at 3-2, has fought for the UCFC in Pittsburgh and Iron Will Fighting in Johnstown this year. But, according to sherdog.com, he has to sit out 150 days for missing a fight on Friday:
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Carlton Haselrig, a former Pro Bowl offensive lineman with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was suspended for 150 days by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board after he failed to show up for his Ring of Combat 26 bout with Gian Villante on Friday at the Tropicana Resort and Casino.
According to the NJSACB's Nick Lembo, Haselrig was given a Sept. 9 deadline by which to submit his medical paperwork for the fight. The deadline passed without contact from the 43-year-old or his representatives. Villante went on to knock out Rob Wince, a late replacement, with a head kick 1:25 into the second round.
