More Fantasy News
Fight cancelled
Grant will no longer take on Daniel Santos at UFC Vegas 105, per MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Santos didn't even make it to the scale on Friday, not weighing due to an undisclosed "medical issue." The UFC has elected to scrap the card from the bout altogether rather than scramble to find a replacement fighter. Grant was looking to make it two straight victories Saturday.

Slated to face Santos
Grant will take on Daniel Santos in a bantamweight bout at UFC Vegas 105 on April 5, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Grant will be looking to stack victories after his most recent fight resulted in a win over Ramon Taveras via unanimous decision. That pushed his UFC record to 7-6, and he'll look to build momentum with another win. His opponent Santos, meanwhile, is much less experienced but is coming off two straight wins in the UFC to get off to a 2-1 start in the promotion.

Strong effort in decision win
Grant defeated Ramon Taveras via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Tampa, Florida.
ANALYSIS
Grant doesn't fight very often, and he's caught some tough breaks over the course of his career, but he's legitimately talented and more than capable of putting forth a performance like this one. Simply put, Grant just outworked Taveras over the course of 15 minutes. He attempted a ridiculous 290 significant strikes compared to 156 from Ramon. Neither man landed a takedown, and while Taveras may have been responsible for the biggest blow of the fight with a Round 2 knockdown, Grant's volume ensured he would win an easy decision. Set to turn 39 years old in a few days, Grant would be well served to get back in the Octagon as soon as possible.

In for Tampa card
Grant (undisclosed) is scheduled to compete against Ramon Taveras in a bantamweight fight at UFC Tampa on Dec. 14, per Nolan King of MMA Junkie.
