Two submissions in the last two fights in two excellent performances, but only one victory. This is the recent look back at North American Jason High, who beat James Head this Wednesday, recovering from his defeat to Erick silva, in June. Now the former Strikeforce man wants a rematch.

No card UFC Fight Night 27 preliminary round, High had no trouble applying a guillotine in 101 seconds to Head. The result served to stifle the setback suffered against Erick in the TUF Brasil 2 Finale, when the Espírito Santo caught the “Kansas City Bandit” in an inverted triangle in 71 seconds.

In an interview with the North American website MMA Fighting, High showed that he still hasn't completely digested the defeat. “I want to fight until the end of the year, I'm trying to work. I want Erick silva again. What do you think, Erick? Let's fight! Let's fight in Kansas City, what do you think? Or we fight in Rio, I don’t care.”

Despite the campaign, this fight is unlikely to take place in 2013, as Erick silva He has an appointment scheduled for October 9th, when he will face South Korean Dong Hyun Kim in the co-main fight of UFC No Combate 4.
