Jason High has a battle coming up Saturday in his local Kansas City, Missouri, against a perilous accommodation craftsman. On the off chance that he can indent a triumph, he has a quite hermetically sealed case to seek World Series of Fighting's lightweight title in his next challenge.
Be that as it may, that is not what he's being gotten some information about, in any event not only. Rather than discussing World Series of Fighting 33 and his rival there, the perilous accommodation craftsman Joao Zeferino (20-8), and as opposed to discussing his place in the lightweight title picture, High (20-5) is rather noting questions around a contender in an entire diverse weight class and an entire distinctive advancement.
In 2014, High, for a considerable length of time a mainstream contender with people in general, was discharged from the UFC for pushing an arbitrator quickly after the decision of a session with Rafael Dos Anjos. The New Mexico State Athletic Commission likewise suspended High for one year.
In the wake of that occurrence, White said in clarifying his arrival of High that "on the off chance that you touch the official, [you are] done. ... You don't put your hands on the arbitrator. Ever." He additionally included that the choice was "an easy decision."
Quick forward three years and you have heavyweight Roy Nelson, who after his September knockout of Antonio Silva delicately kicked arbitrator John McCarthy's rear to enlist dissatisfaction with what he saw as a superfluously late stoppage.
In the wake of that episode, White called the occurrence "abominable" yet has not discharged Nelson, proposing he is substance to give Brazil's athletic bonus a chance to take the disciplinary lead. (That commission, known as CABMMA, is assessing the occurrence now.)
High has constantly kept up he holds no resentment about the choice and never ponders it until a few media sort offers another conversation starter about it. Like it or not, however, another volley of request on the theme came flying toward High in the wake of Nelson's butt-kicking.
"I'd never call for [Nelson] to be expelled or whatever," High said in an elite meeting with Bleacher Report. "I thought my suspension was unreasonable, so that is the place I'll abandon it. Everyone I conversed with thought it was out of line."
High gives the sense he wouldn't enjoy much any potential Nelson discipline, which may in any case happen, however obviously on account of the commission, not the UFC, in any event at first. He might, in any case, want to see the UFC utilize an all the more deliberate and straightforward procedure to handle such episodes.
"I might want to see some consistency," High said. "I'd like to see some due procedure for the contenders who are in this circumstance. However, you have to ask [UFC President] Dana White these inquiries. I don't have an immediate line to Dana White."
You don't get the sense it's wrecking High an excessive amount of in any case. Saturday denote his fourth master session in the lightweight division and third under the WSOF standard, where he is 2-0 so far.
Strangely, and no doubt not fortuitously, lightweight champ Justin Gaethje shields his title one session after High when he goes up against rough finisher Ozzy Dugulubgov in the WSOF 33 headliner.
High wouldn't like to look past Zeferino, an accommodation authority with 15 wins by accommodation. Should he win, however, his way to Gaethje, and presumably the greatest session WSOF could make at this moment, is obviously blasted.
High doesn't miss a chance to assert some authority on the matchup, either.
"I believe that would be a major battle," High said. "Justin Gaethje needs me more than I require him now. … He's the one searching for authenticity. I'm demonstrated. He doesn't have the sort of record I have. He hasn't battled the sort of restriction I have. I think he needs to battle out his agreement and get to the UFC. That street experiences me."
Concerning High, in spite of his all around recorded issues with the UFC, he appears to be content with his place at the highest point of the WSOF 155-pound division. Beating Zeferino gets him one more stride—possibly the last stride—toward vieing for gold.
"He's an intense contender, clearly he prefers leg bolts and is great at entries," High said. "You need to not give him a chance to get into those positions. … I've been doing a few circumstances [during training] to get settled in those positions, in any case I'm simply attempting to show signs of improvement all around. I'm attempting to be a superior me."
