Former title challenger Ray Borg issues statement following UFC release

Last week it was announced that former UFC flyweight title challenger Ray Borg had been released by the UFC. Borg’s release came after he withdrew from a bantamweight bout with Nate Maness, scheduled for UFC Vegas 5 at the UFC APEX facility.

Sadly, the last minute withdrawal didn’t come as much of a surprise given that Borg has featured in numerous withdrawals and fight cancellations in recent years.

Prior to pulling out of the Maness fight, for undisclosed reasons, Borg withdrew from a fight with Merab Dvalishvili scheduled for UFC Vegas 2 on June 2.
