\nhospitalized mother Barbara a speedy recovery<\/h2>\n

Foster started fast, dropping Asher with a right hand before Asher
\nanswered with a spinning backfist that floored him. After a
\ncompetitive second round, Asher took Foster down in the third and
\nlanded ground strikes that opened a cut above Foster\u2019s right
\neye.<\/p>\n

Despite the difficult final round, Foster was thrilled with his
\nperformance.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuper happy, very proud of myself, very proud of my team,\u201d Foster
\nsaid in a postfight interview. \u201cAnd I knew I was gonna come here
\nand put on a f*cking show.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then discussed his mother, who he said was recovering in the
\nhospital after a \u201creally bad\u201d car accident. Foster said she was
\nwatching from her hospital room on her birthday, making the victory
\nespecially meaningful.<\/p>\n

White wished Foster\u2019s mother a happy birthday and a speedy recovery
\nwhile awarding him a contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreg, happy birthday to Barbara and hope she gets well soon,\u201d
\nWhite said. \u201cThe pace you set tonight, the shots you landed, the
\nshots you took, you opened the show the way I love the show to be
\nopened. And I\u2019ve never been this excited to see a 34-year-old come
\ninto the UFC. Congratulations.\u201d<\/p>\n
