Ray Borg vs. Ricky Simon Added to UFC Fight Night 171 Lineup

Ray Borg will square off against Ricky Simon in a bantamweight tilt at UFC Fight Night 171.

Borg confirmed the bout on social media following an initial report from The Sports Daily. UFC Fight Night 171 takes place at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, on May 13 and is headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Anthony Smith and Glover Teixeira. The card is expected to air on ESPN and ESPN+.

Borg, who was scheduled to face Marlon Vera at UFC 249 before the event was postponed, will return to bantamweight after another failed weight cut to 125 pounds.
