James Krause Out of UFC Fight Night 99 Fight With Ross Pearson

– James Krause (23-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC) has posted the following to Instagram, announcing he suffered a high-grade hamstring tear during training. Due to this, he is out of his UFC Fight Night 99 bout with Ross Pearson (19-12 MMA, 11-9 UFC).

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 @rosstherealdeal and the @ufc. I'll be back soon enough.
