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.

Still trying to find results from last night's UCFC "Rumble on the Rivers" event that went down in Pittsburgh and featured LionHeart Fighters Phil Davis and Paul Bradley (word was David Sachs did not fight) plus veterans like Rich Clementi and Cole Miller, not to mention hot female prospect - and new LionHeart Fighter Meghan Wright. I'll let you know when I find out something.

This one promises to be a good one, with three LionHeart Fighters on the card, plus one of my favorite former UFC'ers, Rich "No Love" Clementi.

A while back, I made a post about an event at The Blue Horizon in Philadelphia on June 11 called Broad Street Brawlers, put on by Valley Fight League in West Virginia.

Today I checked the Pa. State Athletic Commission's Web site, but couldn't find any results on the show. I emailed Greg Sirb, the commission's executive director, and he emailed back: "Event was cancelled."

I check the Blue Horizon Web site, which had a statement:"THE MIXED MARTIAL ARTS EVENT PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 11, 2009 HAS BEEN POSTPONED."

And finally, VFL's Web site: "NOTE: Due to matters out of our control, this show will be rescheduled for a later date. Keep posted to the site for the new date. Thank You for your understanding."

So, I really don't know what caused the event to be canceled. But, the good news is, promoter Lionell "L-Train" Royer has another Valley Fight League event scheduled for July 24 in Altoona:

This one features Carlton Haselrig, who fought recently in Johnstown
