A welterweight fight between Brian Foster and Sean Pierson is in the works for UFC 129 in Toronto, according to a report from MMAJunkie.com.

The event, headlined by a Welterweight Championship bout between Georges St. Pierre and Jake Shields, is set to take place on pay-per-view from the Rogers Centre on April 30, and this bout is expected for the night's preliminary card.

Pierson, who made his UFC debut in December at UFC 124 in Montreal in a victory over Matt Riddle, lost his job with the Toronto Police Department shortly thereafter. The department stated it was partly due to a previous nickname he used as a fighter earlier in the decade, and Pierson is now a full time MMA fighter.

Foster won his second straight fight in November when he submitted Matt Brown at UFC 123. Foster's been up and down in his five fights in the UFC, alternating losses and wins before getting this second straight victory. However, in all three of his wins he's been highly impressive, and his losses came against Rick Story and Chris Lytle.

Penick's Analysis: This is another good fight for this card. While Pierson's fight with Riddle was extremely sloppy, it was still a good debut for him in victory. Foster has faced some much tougher competition in his career so far, and will represent a step up for Pierson, but this should be a competitive fight. It'll also give him a chance to fight in front of a hometown crowd, and after losing his job with the police department and moving to MMA full time, he'll be out to prove that it was the right move for him.
