Ray Borg vs. Brandon Moreno Rescheduled for UFC Fight Night Chile on May 19
By: Tristen Critchfield Apr 11, 2018
For a third time, the UFC will try to rebook the flyweight bout
between Ray
Borg and Brandon
Moreno.
Borg vs. Moreno will now take place at
UFC Fight Night 129 in Santiago, Chile, on May 19.
MMAFighting.com was the first to report the rescheduled bout.
UFC Fight Night 129 takes place at Movistar Arena and is headlined
by a welterweight clash between Santiago
Ponzinibbio and Kamaru
Usman.
Borg and Moreno were supposed to square off at UFC 223 last
weekend, but Borg suffered corneal abrasions after getting glass in
his eye due Conor
McGregor’s attack on the bus transporting the fighters for
media day at the Barclays Center. Prior to that, they were slated
to meet at UFC Fight Night in Austin this past February, but Moreno
pulled out after suffering a right elbow injury.
Borg had won five of his six Octagon appearances before falling
victim to Demetrious
Johnson’s 2017 “Submission of the Year” candidate in a
flyweight title bout at UFC 216 last October. Moreno, meanwhile,
saw an 11-bout winning streak come to an end at the hands of
Sergio
Pettis in his most recent outing at UFC Fight Night 117 last
August.
