Filed under: News , UFC No, seriously. The planned headliner for Saturday’s event between UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC) and challenger Ray Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC)has been called off less than 12 hours before the fighters were set to hit the scales. MMA Fighting first reported the late scratch, with doctors ruling Borg out due to a lingering illness, and MMAjunkie subsequently confirmed the change with multiple UFC officials. A formal announcement is expected shortly. Johnson, No. 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA pound-for-pound rankings , is currently tied with Anderson Silva for most consecutive UFC title defended at 10 and would have taken sole possession of the record with a win at UFC 215
