The UFC reportedly made Ray Borg ineligible to be ranked at flyweight.
Ray Borg picked up a quality win this past weekend, dominating Rogerio Bontorin for three full rounds, en route to a lopsided decision. The victory though, was also overshadowed by the fact that Borg missed weight by 2 lbs on his return to flyweight.
Despite having a clear cut win over the number seven ranked UFC flyweight, Borg has reportedly been made ineligible to be part of the rankings at 125 lbs. Being that this isn’t the first time he has missed weight, he is likely being forced back up to bantamweight.
We were just notified that the #UFC has requested Ray Borg be removed from eligibility in the flyweight rankings. He will be moving up to bantamweight.

Borg, who has gone through a lot with his personal and family life in the last couple of years, has missed weight four times in his 11 bouts with the UFC. This includes even missing weight once at bantamweight, early in 2019.
With the decision win this past weekend, the 26-year-old former flyweight title contender has now won his last two bouts. He has compiled a 7-4 record in the UFC, and 14-4 overall.
