Jason High (born October 12, 1981){{cite web|url=https://highfighter.com/bio |title=Jason High Profile — Jason High |website=HighFighter.com |accessdate=October 27, 2020}} is an American mixed martial artist who most recently competed in the Lightweight division of the Professional Fighters League.

Background
High was born in Kansas City, Missouri and has two brothers and a sister. High began playing football and baseball from a young age, before moving to Blue Springs, Missouri at the age of 10, where he discovered wrestling. By his sophomore year at Blue Springs High School he was on the varsity squad. He was a standout in high school, holding a record of 102–23 over three years, with a 44–7 record in his senior year while setting the school's takedown record and finishing fifth in Missouri's state championships. High was also an all-state selection in 1999. He then continued at the collegiate level for five years. He first spent two years at Meramec Community College in St. Louis where he did very well and also qualified twice for the national championships. High then spent three years at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln as a walk-on player, which has a very prestigious Division I program. High had a rough start to his career for Nebraska, going 4–16 in his first year on campus, but was able to turn his career around and had winning record of 11–10 in his last year of eligibility. High graduated with three varsity letters from Nebraska. In his last semester at Nebraska, High attended a college in Costa Rica where he discovered jiu-jitsu. He earned a degree in history and used to work as an operations manager and full-time EMT for a private ambulance company. He was still working in the early part of his mixed martial arts career.{{cite web|url=http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/6/6/4390018/coach-mikes-fact-grinder-jason-high-ufc-fuel-tv-10-erick-silva|title=UFC on Fuel 10: Coach Mike's Fact Grinder Examines Jason High's Wrestling Resume|author=Coach Mike R|date=June 6, 2013|publisher=bloodyelbow.com}}
