Jason High vs. Adlan Amagov, Brian Houston vs. Trevor Smith set for UFC Fight Night 35

Jason High will need to put his lightweight plans on hold. Fresh off a win at UFC 167, High has been thrown back into the fire with a welterweight clash against the streaking Chechen, Adlan Amagov, at UFC Fight Night 35.

UFC officials announced the match-up on Sunday, as well as a middleweight bout between Brian Houston (4-1) and Trevor Smith (10-4) for the same event.

Despite starting his UFC career off with a quick submission loss to Erick Silva, the 32-year-old High (18-4) has since rebounded to score dominating victories over James Head and Anthony Lapsley, the former of which High finished via guillotine choke in just under two minutes.

Amagov (13-2-1), meanwhile, pushed his UFC record to a perfect 2-0 with a violent first-round knockout of T.J. Waldburger at UFC 166. The blitzkrieg left Waldburger unconscious and unable to leave the Octagon of his own accord.
