Ray Borg (born August 4, 1993), is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional MMA competitor since 2012, Borg made a name for himself fighting mostly in his native Southwestern United States, competing in promotions like King of the Cage and Legacy Fighting Championship.[2]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

After a successful career in United States, with a undefeated 6-0 mixed martial arts record, it was revealed in April, 2014, that Borg had signed with the UFC.[3]

Borg was scheduled to make his UFC debut against Dustin Ortiz on April 19, 2014, at UFC on Fox: Werdum vs. Browne.[4] He lost the fight via split decision.[5]

Borg was scheduled to face Ryan Benoit, at UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens.[6] However, due to an injury, Benoit was replaced by promotional newcomer Shane Howell.[7] Borg won the fight via submission (rear-naked choke) in the first round.[8] The win also won Borg his first Performance of the Night bonus award.[9]

Borg was briefly linked to a potential fight against Richie Vaculik on November 8, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 55.[10] However, Borg was forced to pull out of the event due to injury and was replaced by Neil Seery.[11] Subsequently, Seery pulled out of that bout as well and was replaced by Louis Smolka.[12]

Borg faced Chris Kelades on February 14, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 60.[13] Borg won the one sided fight via submission in the third round, earning him his second consecutive Performance of the Night award.[14][15]
