Jason High (10-2), and Charlie Brenneman (11-1) talk about making their UFC debuts against each other: Jason High (-180): "Initially, I thought I was ready a while ago, but I think it was good that I was able to get some experience outside the UFC before I came over here... Some people are excited (about his UFC debut) and then some people are kinda like ‘well, how did he get to the UFC,’ because I’m coming off a loss. But I don’t really care about what everybody else thinks. It’s just nice to be able to fight, and fighting in the UFC is an added bonus." "I just hope to get the night off to a great start and have everybody wondering why I’m not on TV" Charlie Brenneman (+150): "(High) is in the same spot that I am and the way it’s gonna play out depends on who prepared better for the competition. Wrestling wise we’re basically the same skill level; all around fighting, I would say we’re pretty much on the same page, so it’s gonna be whoever goes in there and says ‘you know what, this is my night, this is my Octagon, and it’s gonna go my way.’ And in my mind, that’s gonna be me." "I’ve been telling everybody getting here is the easy part, staying here is the tough part. My thought process is to obviously get one, two, maybe three wins, and put myself in a position for people to say ‘wow, this guy’s pretty good.’ ...I firmly believe that with my wrestling and my fighting ability, I could be right there with some of the best guys in the division in the next year, year and a half."
