Jason High gets four-fight UFC deal, meets Charlie Brenneman at UFC Fight Night 21

Recent Ultimate Fighting Championship signee Charlie Brenneman (10-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) meets a fellow UFC newcomer next month when he takes on welterweight Jason High (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 21.

High today posted a Twitter message about the fight, and a source close to the fighter confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that he has signed a four-fight deal with the UFC.

His fight with Brenneman is part of the un-aired preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 21, which takes place March 31 at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, N.C.

The event serves as a lead-in for the debut episode of "The Ultimate Fighter 11" and airs on Spike TV.

High, who's recently competed for the Japanese-based DREAM promotion, also fought at "Affliction: Day of Reckoning," but he suffered a KO loss to current Strikeforce welterweight contender Jay Hieron at the show.

High enters the UFC with two wins in his past three fights, though he recently suffered a head-kick KO loss to Marius Zaromskis at DREAM.10. Still, he's posted quality wins over notables such as James Giboo, Kevin Burns and Andre Galvao.

MMAjunkie.com reported Brenneman's signing earlier this week. Known as "The Spaniard," Brenneman is a one-time EliteXC and four-time Ring of Combat veteran. The Pennsylvania native was the winner of the first season of Spike TV's "Pros vs. Joes," and he has dropped just one bout in his first 11 professional contests – a closer-than-the-score-indicates unanimous-decision defeat to current UFC fighter John Howard.

The former NCAA Division I wrestler has posted stoppages in six of his 10 career wins.

Just saw Kings post down the page, my bad

It's all good.

I'm glad Jason High got in the UFC. Underrated fighter with strong wrestling and submission defense.

his fighting style aint "hood" though

Yeah def a good signing, it's crazy how deep WW is in the UFC

High's chin is a question mark for sure.

Well, i never saw the Hieron fight but it would not be fair to question his chin based on the Zaromskis fight.

can he beat the original Pros vs Joes Champ? I still think it's crazy taht Brenneman was on Pros vs Joes. But he seems to have a nice resume.
