The news of the injury and replacement was first reported by MMAWeekly.com, who confirmed verbal agreements were in place for the new matchup.
Prado, a product of Team Nogueira in Brazil, makes his debut on the strength of seven straight wins to kick off his young career. The 6'4" light heavyweight has stopped all but one of his opponents, going to the third round just twice in those seven fights.
Davis hopes to bounce back from a loss to Rashad Evans in January at UFC on Fox 2. The five round decision loss brought a halt to his undefeated streak, ending his run at nine wins.
UFC on Fox 4 takes place from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif., headlined by a middleweight bout between Hector Lombard and Brian Stann.
Penick's Analysis: This is a better fight for Davis and for this card, if only for the fact that there was no point at all to the Griggs matchup. Prado, as an undefeated prospect, has an opportunity to make a big statement in his UFC debut. Davis, meanwhile, can get back on track by handing the Brazilian his first ever defeat. It's a good fight, and we'll see just where Prado stands in the 205 lb. division.
