For every UFC event, TapouTVTC.com chronicles the fighters who have their backs up against the wall. These articles are speculation, and do not represent any sort of insider information.
Name: Brian Foster
Fighting: Forrest Petz
Record: 1-2 UFC, 13-5 overall, on a one-fight losing streak
How he got here: Defeated Brock Larson by TKO at UFC 106, then lost to Chris Lytle by kneebar at UFC 110
Why he needs the win: None of Foster's professional fights have gone to decision, so it is safe to say he looks for the finish in every bout. There are places for exciting fighters with unspectacular records in the UFC, and Foster did earn Fight of the Night honors in his UFC debut against Rick Story at UFC 103, but no fighter should feel comfortable going 1-3 in the promotion.
Name: Forrest Petz
Fighting: Brian Foster
Record: 2-4 UFC, 18-8 overall, currently on a two-fight UFC losing streak
How he got here: Petz was cut from the UFC following a split decision loss to Josh Burkman at UFC 77, then went 5-2 outside of the promotion. He was resigned and stepped in on short notice to face Daniel Roberts at UFC 116, and lost by split decision.
Why he needs the win: Petz faces Foster in what could be a loser-leaves-town match. Petz should be feeling the pressure, given that he has already been cut once and lost his return match to Roberts.
