TJ Grant vs. Gray Maynard official for UFC 160 in Las Vegas

Official news by the Ultimate Fighting Championship just moments ago as they announced a stellar lightweight matchup between one of Canada’s top fighters and highly ranked T.J. Grant vs. former UFC number one contender Gray Maynard.

The bout will take place at UFC 160 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The news came straight from the UFC: News at night: Top-ten ranked lightweight contenders @TJ_Grant and @GrayMaynard will fight at UFC 160 May 25 in Las Vegas.

Grant has been on a role lately, with his last win coming over “Handsome” Matt Wiman.  This win has put his name up in the lightweight rankings.

Maynard, who pulled a split-decision win over Clay Guida back in June of 2012, will look to de-rail the TJ Grant win streak.

The main event is a rematch between current Heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and Antonio Silva. In their first encounter at UFC 146 a year earlier, Velasquez defeated Silva via first round TKO.
