I guess you can consider Easton to be a fairly high profile guy in his division because of his track record...just not within the UFC. I thought maybe it was because of his previous opponent, but I think it was Kenny Stone, and I don't see how he gets the nod over Brenneman either.
Oh well...Charlie's the type of guy who doesn't lose fights he's supposed to win...though Ninja's basically out if he loses this fight, so there might be a bit of desperation on his part. Perhaps it's the fact that Easton's got a more aesthetic fight style than Brenneman, and they think a fast paced fight is going to draw more eyes than a 15 minute ground match, which I assume Charlie/Ninja will be.
