The former UFC flyweight title challenger has been ruled out of his UFC Denver matchup with longtime contender Joseph Benavidez due to reportedly what’s been termed “medical issues.” MMA Fighting confirmed an initial Wednesday report by MMA Junkie.
Borg has undergone a series of issues dating back more than a year. He was scheduled to face then-champion Demetrious Johnson for the 125-pound title at UFC 215, but had to withdraw two days before the fight due to an illness. Borg eventually lost to Johnson at UFC 216.
