Maycee Barber releases statement explaining UFC Denver withdrawal
![Maycee Barber releases statement explaining UFC Denver withdrawal](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/VteHvCI9NFgXUMn7Tc3i-b7R2PM=/0x0:6114x3201/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25511180/2072146280.jpg)
Maycee Barber is still feeling the effects from what caused her lengthy hospital stay more than two months ago.
The UFC flyweight contender explained how that trip is dramatically still plaguing her and caused new issues to pop up in a lengthy Instagram post on Friday night. Those issues are what caused her to drop out of the UFC Denver main event in July against Rose Namajunas.
This is the last post I wanted to be making heading into July. Wish I was putting up a post about being 2 weeks out from my first main event. God must have other plans in store for the future Unfortunately,As a lot of you may know, I was hospitalized for many days following my last fight. I spent 9 days in the hospital less than 2 months ago. Doctors at the time couldn’t find exactly what was going on, and I ended up also I developing pneumonia during that time. I was put on numerous rounds of oral and IV antibiotics, which absolutely wrecked my system. When I accepted this fight I was told that I would be okay by the time July came around and so after a few weeks eased back to training and into a camp, as I got deeper into camp I just couldn’t find any intensity needed to get ready for a 5-round fight let alone the first 5 minutes of a practice. I wanted so badly to be able to go out there and perform in front of my home, family and friends. Especially against such a high level opponent in Rose. Although I tried to keep pushing through, my team recognized that I’m not just not physically even close to where I need to be to safely enter a fight let alone into a single training session without putting myself at risk for lifelong damage. I needed to find answers as to why my body is seemingly turning against me. I sought out a team of medical professionals who, alongside the UFC, have run extensive tests on my blood and urine and sinus microbiome and my gut and my hormones and there are many things physically not working properly in my body; and they are being exacerbated by an Epstein-barr virus infection that we found. This is causing body aches, headaches, as well as extreme fatigue and an inability to recover between training sessions. I keep trying to push through the fatigue, but every time I would I do so, I would get symptoms that were consistent with these lab findings.
The more we are digging into my physiology and immune system, the more apparent it becomes that not only did the numerous rounds of antibiotics I was given after my hospitalization wreck my immune system, but the constant training compounded to get me into a position of essentially feeling always sick and always completely wiped out. After I was informed of the severe risks of my spleen rupturing among other life altering risks I was devastated. We made the decision with my team of coaches, Drs and the UFC that my physical health must be attended to now so that I can make a run in the future.
Tracy Cortez filled in for Barber to face Namajunas.
UFC Denver takes place July 13 at Colorado’s Ball Arena.

Denver Nuggets Reportedly Sign New Player

In between the NBA Draft and the start of free agency there is a period of time when teams agree to deals with un-drafted free agents. While these deals can be signed at any time, it is most common to see them agreed upon soon after the draft, as teams bring in players they want to get a look at.
This can be done via Exhibit-10 deals, which bring in a player for training camp to potentially compete for a roster spot. In a report on Friday from Shams Charania of The Athletic, it was announced that the Denver Nuggets had signed Grand Canyon University’s Gabe McGlothan to an Exhibit-10 contract.
Grand Canyon University’s Gabe McGlothan has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract to join the Denver Nuggets, sources said. McGlothan won the college slam dunk contest this year and helped lead GCU to an NCAA tournament victory.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 28, 2024
In five collegiate seasons, McGlothan averaged 12.8 PPG and 7.3 RPG. Showing an improved three-point shot in his final season at Grand Canyon, McGlothan made 39.8% of his threes on 3.6 attempts per game. While it is very unlikely McGlothan makes Denver’s roster, this should be a great opportunity for him to be around NBA champions while training with one of the league’s elite franchises.
It is not entirely impossible for Exhibit-10 deals to lead to two-way contracts or even standard deals in some cases, but the Nuggets are not a team that projects to be filling out their roster with many unproven rookies. That said, McGlothan will get to work with Nikola Jokic and other Nuggets veterans in camp, which is a great opportunity.

Video of Colorado Springs police shooting shows suspect hitting woman with gun
![Video of Colorado Springs police shooting shows suspect hitting woman with gun](https://www.denverpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-12-16-at-11.29.12-AM.png?w=1024&h=618)
The man shot by Colorado Springs police officers while fleeing on foot earlier this month struck a woman across the face with a gun in the city’s downtown area before pointing it at another man, security footage released Thursday shows.
Around 12:48 a.m. on Sunday, June 9, three officers with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s Downtown Area Response Team were patrolling on foot along South Nevada Avenue when they heard a disturbance up the street, according to a video briefing released Thursday by the department.
As one officer — identified by the Colorado Springs Police Department as Benjamin Hengel — moved toward the disturbance, he saw a woman fall to the ground and drew his stun gun, police department spokesperson Joe Frabbiele said in the video.
Another man chasing the suspect suddenly stopped and put his hands up, Frabbiele said. When Hengel went to move around the man, Hengel saw the suspect pointing a gun in his direction and drew his department-issued handgun.
Security footage from a nearby building before the shooting shows the suspect — 21-year-old Al’Morion Germany — backing away from a woman while the two have what appears to be a verbal disagreement.
In the video, Germany points what appears to be a gun at the woman before striking her across the face with it, knocking her to the ground.
Germany turns to run and is quickly followed by three Colorado Springs police officers, including Hengel, security footage shows.
Footage from Hengel’s body camera shows officers yelling at Germany to drop the gun, following him down South Nevada Street and continuing the chase around the corner onto Pikes Peak Avenue when Germany ignored police commands to stop.
Frabbiele said Germany was running toward a parking lot the officers knew usually had a lot of foot traffic at that time of night.
When Hengel turned the corner, he fired three shots at Germany, striking the man twice, body camera footage shows. The man continued to run after being shot and was taken into custody in the 100 block of East Pikes Peak Avenue.
Officers provided medical aid until paramedics arrived and Germany was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Frabbiele said.
Frabbiele said a loaded 10 mm Glock handgun was found near where Germany was shot, but did not confirm the gun belonged to Germany. The 21-year-old was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office are investigating the shooting and will determine if Hengel’s use of force was justified.
