Joseph Benavidez vs. Ray Borg announced for UFC Denver

The first challenger for Henry Cejudo’s newly won flyweight championship could be decided soon.

On Wednesday, the UFC announced that former title challengers Joseph Benavidez and Ray Borg will fight at UFC Denver on Nov. 10, an event that is being billed as the 25th anniversary of the promotion.

Both fighters are looking to stay in championship contention after taking losses in their last outings. Benavidez (25-5) saw a six-fight win streak ended via a split decision loss to Sergio Pettis at UFC 225 in June, his first fight since returning from a knee injury.
