Welterweight Brian Foster has been forced out of his scheduled UFC 129 fight after a brain hemorrhage was detected in an MRI.
“I’m sorry to all my fans but I won’t be fighting in Toronto,” Foster wrote on Twitter. “My MRI came back and [I was told I] have a brain hemorrhage! I’m so sorry.”
The 27-year-old was scheduled to face Sean Pierson on April 30 at the Rogers Centre, expected to be the largest event in the promotion’s history.
