Smolka, 30, is also on a patchy run of form having alternated between wins and losses since 2019, with three defeats.
The American will be on home soil for his battle with Grant as the Fight Night card is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas.
A light-heavyweight showdown between Jan Blachowicz and Alexander Rakic will headline the night and it is not yet known whether Grant vs Smolka will feature on the main card or pre-lims.
Grant’s fortunes have been mixed in the UFC but he is usually in entertaining contests
Grant’s recent fights have guaranteed compelling action and he’s been rewarded with numerous performance bonuses.
He took home $50,000 for Performance of the Night after KOs against Martin Day and Jonathan Martinez.
And he was at least able to dampen the sting of his last two defeats in earning Fight of the Night from Dana White and Co.
Grant has been in the UFC since 2016 and his professional record stands at 13-6.
Smolka’s recent record is also mixed so both men are desperate to bounce back
