Josh Emmett vs. Michael Johnson, Ray Borg vs. Liu Pingyuan booked for UFC Philadelphia

The UFC’s return to Philadelphia continues to take shape with the addition of two more bookings.

Josh Emmett meets Michael Johnson in a featherweight bout and Ray Borg faces Liu Pingyuan in a bantamweight bout at UFC on ESPN 2 on March 30. Emmett vs. Johnson was added to the event page on ESPN.com, while Borg vs. Pingyuan was first reported by PhillyVoice.com.

Emmett hasn’t fought since a TKO loss to veteran featherweight Jeremy Stephens in February 2018. Prior to that, the Team Alpha Male product picked up the biggest win of his career with a first-round knockout of former title challenger Ricardo Lamas at UFC on FOX 26 in December 2017.
