Ray Borg finally opens up about his UFC release.
Last week, the UFC veteran was released alongside fighters Bethe Correia, Evan Dunham, Eric Spicely, and Max Rohskopf. While there’s no official word on why Borg’s contract was terminated, the 27-year-old had struggled throughout his UFC career as the former UFC flyweight title challenger is well-known for pulling out of fights and has missed weight four times.
During his statement on social media, Borg understands UFC’s decision to let him go and the bantamweight states that he's planning to get his life together first before figuring out his next move:
Borg had fought in the UFC since 2014 and scored notable victories over Louis Smolka, Jussier Formiga, and Shane Howell. Borg got a chance to fight Demetrius Johnson for the UFC Flyweight title at UFC 216 and while the challenger gave Johnson a run for his money, Borg ultimately lost via submission in the fifth round. His professional record currently stands at 13 wins and 5 losses.
