After two unsuccessful bookings, it looked like Ray Borg and Brandon Moreno would finally meet at UFC Fight Night 129 on the third attempt. Sadly, that won’t be the case, as Borg has withdrawn from the fight to care for his newborn son who has recently had two brian surgeries.
MMAFighting first reported the news. It’s been a rough start to the year for Borg; he and Moreno were booked to fight at UFC Austin in February, but an injury to Moreno meant the fight was scrapped. The pair were again booked to meet at UFC 223 on April 7th, however a rampant attack by Conor McGregor on a bus left Borg with multiple corneal abrasions, which made him unfit to fight.
