Ray Borg is looking elsewhere for consultation on his health after missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime.
The 24-year-old flyweight was supposed to fight divisional champion Demetrious Johnson in the main event of UFC 215 on Saturday in Edmonton, Alberta, but the bout was canceled on Thursday when a viral illness to Borg caused doctors to rule him unfit to compete.
Borg’s nutritionist Dr. Michelle Ingels of Perfecting Athletes issued a statement following the news specifying that the withdrawal “wasn’t weight related.” On Friday, Borg released a statement of his own to MMAWeekly.
