T.J. Grant will return to action this May at UFC on Fuel TV 3 in Fairfax, Va., in a bout against Carlo Prater, according to a report from MMAWeekly.com.

The 27-year-old Canadian made an impressive lightweight debut against Shane Roller in October, but an injury took him out of a bout with Jacob Volkmann in December.

Prater made his UFC debut in January, but was blitzed by Erick Silva in a welterweight bout. However, the fight turned out in his favor, as Silva landed some shots to the back of the head, and Prater was given the win by disqualification.
