Ray Borg won’t fight Brandon Moreno at all. One more time, Borg is forced to withdraw, this time due to his infant child, Anthony, who underwent a pair of surgeries for Hydrocephalus, a brain condition. We hope that Borg’s little angel will recover soon.
Borg shared multiple posts on his social networks, updating his son’s health.

Anybody who complains about how hard life is, or cries about not getting the new I phone or new x box etc. I encourage you or some one you know to spend 24 hours in a children’s hospital. You will realize quickly how good you have it compared to these children.

Thank you to everyone for their positive thoughts and prayers during this time and much thank you to the Children’s hospital of Colorado and all of their staff. Anthony’s surgery was a success. 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/vOMyel78Sg

Unfortunately Anthony needs to go back into surgery. The shunt was placed in a spot of his brain that just doesn’t quite work for him. Due to the high possibility of failure of the shunt the doctor ordered to have him back in the operating room for replacement of the shunt. 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/JgqYtJLoWD

This was the third time that Ray Borg and Brandon Moreno were scheduled to fight. They should face at UFC 223 first, but Borg was removed from the bout due to Conor McGregor’s savage bus attack. UFC legend attacked the bus that was transporting his rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and shattered a window with a thrown dolly. Borg’s eye was hurt in the incident.
Later, Borg was claimed medically unfit to compete. The fight was rescheduled for May 19, Santiago, Chile. UFC officials will be looking for a replacement now to keep Moreno on the fight card.
Their first meeting was planned for UFC Austin in February, but unfortunately, Moreno was injured and unable to compete. We hope Ray Borg and Brandon Moreno will fight soon.
