[Kryptt]

After making good in his promotional debut, Ray Borg will get to challenge for the UAE Warriors title.

Borg (14-5) challenges Vinicius de Oliveira (16-2) for the bantamweight title in the main event of UAE Warriors 23 on Oct. 29, MMA Junkie confirmed with promotional officials Sunday.

Since his release from the UFC in August 2020 after consecutive fight cancellations, former UFC flyweight title challenger Borg picked up a unanimous decision win over Canadian veteran Jesse Arnett at UAE Warriors 20 in June.

Winner of five in a row, Brazil’s de Oliveira captured the bantamweight title when he knocked out Xavier Alaoui at UAE Warriors 18 in March.

Great fight, I'm a big fan of Lockdog and Borg is an awesome test to see if he's ready for that next level.

He lost his fight in Combate to Jose Quinonez's little brother (who's on DWCS this year), but there's no shame in losing in the biggest promotion there is.

Just watching 22 and they mentioned that Dana will probably be going to it to do a looking for a fight again. Big opportunity for Oliveira.

Ohhh, I would think any Russians looking for a contract will jump on this card now. Raisov especially

some of the Polish boys as well like Daniel Skibiński or Mateusz Rębecki

Ray's had a tough go of things it seems. I hope he can actually make it to the cage on fight night.
