Illness forces Lesnar postponementWednesday, 28 October 2009 07:32 | | |
Brock Lesnar, the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s massive heavyweight titleholder, was forced to withdraw Monday from his highly anticipated Nov. 21 title defense in Las Vegas against Shane Carwin. Carwin, via his Twitter feed, said the fight will be rescheduled for UFC 108 on Jan. 2. UFC president Dana White confirmed the news to Yahoo! Sports. White said Lesnar has been ill for more than three-and-a-half weeks and unable to train. With the bout at UFC 106 less than a month away, Lesnar was forced to postpone the title defense. “He said he’s never been this sick in his life,” White said. “He said it’s been going on for a long time and he just hasn’t been able to shake it.” Lesnar’s co-manager, Brian Stegeman, said he does not know whether Lesnar had H1N1, commonly known as swine flu, and that he is beyond the stage at which he could be tested for the virus. He said Lesnar had upper respiratory issues, fever and extreme fatigue. |
Martial arts device mistaken for gun caused PSU alertWednesday, 28 October 2009 07:24 | | |
PLYMOUTH – Reports of a gunman walking across campus put Plymouth State University and the nearby Holderness School in a lockdown last night. By 9:43 p.m., the lockdown was lifted after officials located and talked to the individual, who was not a student, and learned he was carrying a martial arts device that resembled a gun. Bruce Lyndes, media relations manager for Plymouth State, said several students had reported seeing a man acting "incoherently" walking from the north end of campus to the south around 5:45 p.m. Lyndes said more than one student reported seeing what appeared to be the butt of a handgun sticking out from one of the man's pants pockets. The university sent out a text alert to students and faculty at 6:48 p.m., warning that a gunman may be on the campus and advising people to stay inside. Officers from Plymouth, New Hampshire State Police and Grafton County Sheriff's Department joined PSU security to comb the campus. Several downtown businesses usually open at that time of night were reportedly closed. "Better to be safe than sorry," said Dick Hage, vice president of student affairs. "The information that came through came from multiple students. It wasn't a single student."
