Moreno was originally expected to face former title challenger Ray Borg on the UFC Chile event, but Borg withdrew from the bout due to personal reasons regarding his son’s health. That was the third time the Borg-Moreno fight had been canceled as the two young contenders were also scheduled to fight earlier this year at UFC Austin and UFC 223.
