UFC veteran Brian Foster signs with Bellator, gunning for Ben Askren's title
by Hubert Lau on November 02, 2011

UFC veteran, Brian Foster, is the newest addition to Bellator's welterweight division and is already eying Ben Askren's Bellator welterweight title according to fightersonlymagazine.co.uk.

"I'm getting that belt. I want to fight the best. I want to fight Ben Askren and take home that belt. I ran through my last two opponents and I'm better than I've ever been. I'm very happy to be a part of Bellator and I'm coming for the top spot," Foster said.

Foster (18-5) has ended all his career wins by stoppages, 10 submissions and eight TKO/KO, and is on a four fight win streak. A guillotine submission victory over Jack Mason on October 1 at a Cage Warrior event marked a successful return to MMA for Foster. He previously suffered from numerous medical complications that impeded his career which included a brain hemorrhage. Foster has followed up his win over Mason with an armbar submission over Laverne Clark on October 15.

"I've been seen by two of the best doctors in the state, they've medically cleared me and I feel great. I'm looking forward to facing Bellator's best and becoming the next welterweight champion," Foster said.

Foster's first Bellator matchup remains to be seen.
