The one-time flyweight title challenger seeks his third straight win when he meets Ricky Simon (15-3) at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., on May 13. Both fighters confirmed the matchup on social media following an initial report by The Sports Daily.
In Borg’s most recent appearance at UFC Rio Rancho, he picked up a unanimous decision over Rogerio Bontorin. However, Borg (13-4) also came in two pounds heavy for that flyweight bout, marking the fourth time in his UFC career that he’d missed weight.
This past April, Borg vowed he’d retire if he failed to make weight again.
