Ultimate Fighting Championship

After a successful career in United States, with an undefeated 6-0 mixed martial arts record, it was revealed in April, 2014, that Borg had signed with the UFC.[5]

Borg was scheduled to make his UFC debut against Dustin Ortiz on April 19, 2014, at UFC on Fox: Werdum vs. Browne.[6] He lost the fight via split decision.[7]

Borg was scheduled to face Ryan Benoit, at UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens.[8] However, due to an injury, Benoit was replaced by promotional newcomer Shane Howell.[9] Borg won the fight via submission (rear-naked choke) in the first round.[10] The win also won Borg his first Performance of the Night bonus award.[11]

Borg was briefly linked to a potential fight against Richie Vaculik on November 8, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 55.[12] However, Borg was forced to pull out of the event due to injury and was replaced by Neil Seery.[13] Subsequently, Seery pulled out of that bout as well and was replaced by Louis Smolka.[14]

Borg faced Chris Kelades on February 14, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 60.[15] Borg won the one sided fight via submission in the third round, earning him his second consecutive Performance of the Night award.[16][17]

Borg faced promotional newcomer Geane Herrera on August 8, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 73.[18] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[19]

Borg faced Justin Scoggins on February 6, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 82.[20] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[21]

Borg was expected to face Fredy Serrano on July 30, 2016 at UFC 201.[22] However, Borg pulled out on July 21 due to injury and was replaced by Ryan Benoit.[23]

Following a quick recovery, Borg was quickly rescheduled and was expected to face Ian McCall on September 10, 2016 at UFC 203.[24] However, Borg pulled out of the fight on September 7 citing an illness. With no time to find a suitable replacement, McCall was removed from the card.[25]

Borg is expected to face Louis Smolka on December 30, 2016 at UFC 207.[26]
