Jeremy “JBC” Kennedy will make the move to featherweight, after a successful UFC debut, against Rony Jason at UFC Fight Night 106.
UFC officials announced the 145-pound match-up on Monday afternoon.
Kennedy (9-0) made his Octagon debut in front of his hometown crowd of Vancouver, B.C. at UFC on FOX 21. He was able to utilize his skills to earn a unanimous decision against fellow Canadian Alessandro Ricci.
Jason (14-6) is coming off a loss to Dennis Bermudez this past August and prior to that earned a submission victory against Damon Jackson, however that bout was overturned when Jason tested positive for a diuretic.
