The UFC’s official site for UFN 21 confirms that welterweight prospect Jason “The Kansas City Bandit” High (9-2) has been signed by the organization to face fellow newcomer Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman (10-1). High revealed the news of the four-fight contract earlier today on his Twitter page.
Although High is coming off a vicious knockout loss to Marius Zaromskis at the finals of the Dream Welterweight Grand Prix back in July, the gifted wrestler and Antonio McKee prodigy has been training hard and keeping a high profile in the Twitter world.
