It appears an interesting welterweight clash will go down in Las Vegas on Dec. 12.
[autotag]Dwight Grant[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Li Jingliang[/autotag] has been targeted, though not yet signed, for UFC 256 at the UFC Apex. MMA Junkie confirmed an initial report by MMA Fighting.
The veteran Jingliang (17-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) is looking to rebound from his first loss in awhile, which was a unanimous decision loss to Neil Magny at UFC 248. The loss snapped a three-fight win streak for the 32-year-old Beijing native.
Grant (10-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC), meanwhile, is also looking to shake off a loss in his last outing. The former Contender Series competitor suffered a first-round KO at the hands of Daniel Rodriguez.
UFC 256’s main event has not yet been named, although a title fight between women’s featherweight champion Amanda Nunes and Megan Anderson has already been announced for the card.
