The Bellator debut of Ray Borg will have to wait as it will no longer be happening this weekend.
Promotional officials announced on Friday that Borg’s scheduled flyweight matchup with former Bellator bantamweight champion Kyoji Horiguchi has been scratched from Saturday’s Bellator 295 event in Hawaii.
A Bellator official tells MMA Fighting that the scratch was due to weight management issues on Borg’s side. The one-time UFC title challenger has had problems making the flyweight limit in the past, and his most recent four bouts had taken place at bantamweight. Borg signed with the promotion after winning three straight decisions competing for Eagle FC and UAE Warriors
With the change, the 165-pound catchweight bout between Yancy Medeiros and Charlie Leary will bump up to the main card, and the event will move forward with 12 fights.
Bellator 295 will be headlined by the bantamweight grand prix finale between interim champ Raufeon Stots and Patchy Mix.
Isn’t this why UFC let him go ?
I don’t understand how any major org can be comfortable working with this guy at this point. It’s become beyond ridiculous.
He can’t keep blaming his son’s condition, that works once, not 5 times. That’s in addition to all the other times he’s pulled out. He’s a headache for promotions and is his own worst enemy. Get your shit together dude.
INsane
You know you fucked up when even your own management wants nothing to do with you
He’s been cut from Bellator. This is probably it for his MMA career
