It has been 17 long months since Ray Borg last stepped foot inside the UFC Octagon, but that all changes on Saturday night in Philadelphia.
Borg makes his long-awaited return at UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Gaethje while also making a move to the bantamweight division after a long career spent competing at 125 pounds, where he was a former title challenger.
The last year and a half has been filled with a lot of turmoil in Borg’s life, primarily as he cared for his son Anthony, who underwent several surgeries to deal with a condition called hydrocephalus, which is an abnormal amount of fluid buildup in the brain.
