Foster Tweeted his removal from the card on Tuesday, saying, "I'm sorry to all my fans but I won't be fighting in Toronto. My MRI came back and [I was told I] have a brain hemorrhage! I'm so sorry."
The welterweight fighter has gone 3-2 in five fights in the UFC, and is currently on a two-fight winning streak. All three of his wins have come by stoppage, and this bout was to be his first since defeating Matt Brown at UFC 123 in November.
Foster's manager and trainer at the H.I.T. Squad, Marc Fiore, explained the injury in comments made to MMAJunkie.com.
"A blood vessel broke open, started bleeding, and turned into a brain hemorrhage," Fiore said. "Our doctor and the UFC doctor said they won't clear him to fight.
"It should heal on its own, and if it's good, he's cleared to fight. If not, then we have to obviously (look at surgical options)."
The MRI was done as part of the required pre-fight medical exams for Ontario's athletic commission prior to UFC 129. The organization is currently seeking a replacement for Pierson on the card, which takes place on April 30 from the Rogers Centre, headlined by the Welterweight Championship fight between Georges St. Pierre and Jake Shields.
Penick's Analysis: The good news is that this was found out before it could turn into anything more serious. Unfortunately, it still means he can't fight on the card and will have to hope this heals on it's own so he doesn't need to undergo brain surgery. It's a very unfortunate loss to the card, as Foster has been a lot of fun to watch inside the Octagon, and this would have been a very good undercard fight. Still, his safety is the most important part of the issue, and again it's nothing but a good thing that this was found out before he got into the cage again.
