UFC on ESPN 2 takes place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia and is headlined by a lightweight clash between Justin Gaethje and Edson Barboza. The card airs on ESPN following early prelims on ESPN+.
Borg hasn’t fought since being submitted in the fifth round of a flyweight title bout against Demetrious Johnson at UFC 216, as multiple bouts have fallen through since then. Phillips, an alum of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, is coming off a first-round knockout of Emeka Ifekandu at LFA 59.
Holland earned his first Octagon triumph at UFC Fight Night 141, where he submitted John Phillips in the opening stanza. Meerschaert, meanwhile, had a two-bout winning streak snapped in a first-round submission loss against Jack Hermansson in his most recent outing at UFC on Fox 31.
After losing his promotional debut, De La Rosa scored back-to-back triumphs against Elias Garcia and Joby Sanchez last year. Perez began his UFC tenure with three straight victories before falling to Joseph Benavidez via first-round TKO at “The Ultimate Fighter 25” finale.
