New opponent on short notice
Grant will now face Calen Born at UFC on ESPN 15 on Saturday in Las Vegas, UFC.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Grant was scheduled to face Jared Gooden before he pulled out late with an undisclosed injury. Born will be making his debut with the promotion. Born is 7-1 as a pro and has competed under the LFA banner, but his most recent win was with Shamrock FC. Look for the more experienced Grant to enter as a big betting favorite, which should lead to a higher draft percentage in daily formats as his price will remain unchanged.
