Maxim Grishin out, Ovince Saint Preux back to heavyweight vs. Tanner Boser at UFC Vegas 30

One-time UFC light heavyweight title challenger Ovince Saint Preux will return to the heavyweight division after losing his originally scheduled opponent at UFC Vegas 30.

Saint Preux has agreed to take on heavyweight Tanner Boser after his originally scheduled opponent, Maxim Grishin, was forced to withdraw from the June 26 event, which takes place July 26 at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Saint Preux vs. Boser is expected to serve as the co-headliner.

The reason for Grishin’s withdrawal is unknown at this time. Multiple people confirmed the news to MMA Fighting after an initial report from MMA Junkie.
