On the next day, former UFC title challenger Ray Borg (13-5) returns to action opposite Jesse Arnett (18-6), showcasing their international talent as well as home grown talent. This will serve as a title eliminator, the winner will go on to fight for the UAE belt.

The newcomer to UAE, Borg is fresh off a six year stint with the UFC where he locked horns with Louis Smolka, Jussier Formiga, and Shane Howell to name a few. He also fought for the Flyweight belt against the legendary Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson.

Borg will kick off his career in UAE opposite Jesse Arnett who has put together a three fight winning streak. His latest fight to date was an impressive showing in his UAE debut last January versus the gritty Elias Boudegzdame. He was a TKO champion back in Canada and a win over Borg would be the biggest trophy on his wall to date as well as the gateway to UAE gold.
