UFC 216 Medical Suspensions: Ray Borg, 5 Others Face 6 Months On the Shelf



After his unsuccessful Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight title bid, Ray Borg is facing six months on the shelf.

Monday, the Nevada Athletic Commission released its list of medical suspensions following this past Saturday night’s UFC 216 card, which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main event saw Tony Ferguson claim the UFC interim lightweight championship with a third-round triangle choke of Kevin Lee, while in the co-headliner, the aforementioned Borg was vanquished by 125-pound kingpin and pound-for-pound king Demetrious Johnson, courtesy of an instantly classic slam-into-armbar combination.

Borg’s arm is not the issue, however. Rather, “The Tazmexican Devil” is looking at a potential 180-day suspension as a result of a potentially broken ring finger on his right hand unless cleared by an orthopaedic doctor.

Also facing potential six-month layoffs, pending medical clearance, are Marco Beltran (left thumb), Poliana Botelho (right elbow and thumb), Evan Dunham (blurred vision), Thales Leites (right orbital bone) and Matt Schnell (right forearm).
