Congratulations to Sam on his impressive second round victory last week!
Patterson said: “It was to keep us from causing trouble, just kids being kids really but when we were in the gym we weren’t on the streets.“Then I started getting really good really quick and just fell in love with it and started getting amateur and then professional fights.”
Although he lives in Radlett and went to Marlborough Science Academy in St Albans, he says he trains so long every day he spends more time in Watford than he does at home.He even recommended Roti Pan Kitchen and Taste of Lahore as the perfect spots to celebrate.The 10-1-1 fighter added: “It was amazing. I was very confident I was going to win but I had adversity in the first round.
"I think that is part of why I got the contract, because I was able to deal with that, came back, and got the finish in the second round.A December 17 debut is the next target, ahead of making a return to the UK early next year after five years fighting around the world, but this time on a UFC card. The gym is encouraging anyone to try a free first session at Team Crossface, which Patterson describes as a family where nobody has an ego, and everyone helps everyone.Have you got a story for us?

“They don’t go by the law around here”: law enforcement interactions after the legalization of syringe services programs in North Carolina - Harm Reduction JournalBackground In 2016, the US state of North Carolina (NC) legalized syringe services programs (SSPs), providing limited immunity from misdemeanor syringe possession when law enforcement is presented documentation that syringes were obtained from an SSP. This study explores the law enforcement interactions experienced by SSP participants since the enactment of this law. Methods This study used a convergent, mixed-methods design consisting of structured surveys and semi-structured interviews with SSP participants in seven NC counties. Survey and interview data were collected simultaneously between January and November 2019. This survey was designed to capture demographics, characteristics of drug use, SSP services used, and past-year negative experiences with law enforcement (officer did not recognize SSP card, did not believe SSP card belonged to participant, confiscated SSP card, confiscated syringes, or arrested participant for possessing syringes). Semi-structured interviews explored lived experiences with and perspectives on the same topics covered in the survey. Results A total of 414 SSP participants completed the survey (45% male, 54% female, 1% transgender or non-binary; 65% White, 22% Black, 5% American Indian/Alaskan Native, 8% some other racial identity). 212 participants (51.2%) reported at least one past-year negative experience with law enforcement. Chi-square testing suggests that Black respondents were more likely to report having experienced law enforcement doubt their SSP card belonged to them. Interview data indicate that law enforcement practices vary greatly across counties, and that negative and/or coercive interactions reduce expectations among SSP participants that they will be afforded the protections granted by NC law. Conclusion Despite laws which protect SSP participants from charges, negative law enforcement responses to syringe possession are still widely reported. Evidence-based policy interventions to reduce fatal overdose are undermined
