James Krause has been forced to withdraw once more from a planned meeting with Ross Pearson. The two were scheduled to fight at UFC Fight Night 99 next month, but Krause suffered an injury in training.
He made the announcement on his official Facebook page:
It’s with great disappointment and frustration that I make this post announcing that I’m forced to withdraw from my #UFCBelfast bout with Ross Pearson… again.
Monday morning during wrestling practice I tore my hamstring for what the doctor says is a “high grade”, substantial tear in 3 different spots to my hamstring.
This is 2 camps in a row, and against Ross that I’ve had to withdraw from so my greatest apologies to him. This is not my norm and I pride myself on fighting any opposition that’s been offered to me. That being said during these training camps I’ve made a lot of progress and am very excited to show my improvements whoever and whenever that time comes.
Once again, my deepest apologies to Ross “The Real Deal” Pearson, I wish nothing but the best of luck in your upcoming fight.To everyone else that supports me… I’ll be back soon enough.
No word yet on if a replacement will be found to keep Pearson on the card.
