Ray Borg Exchanges Angry Tweets With Fans After Withdrawing From UFC 215

As previously reported, Ray Borg was forced to withdraw from his scheduled UFC 215 title bout with Demetrious Johnson due to an illness that caused him to be pulled from the fight card. After he withdrew from the fight, Borg had a number of heated exchanges with fans on Twitter. You can check out some of those tweets below.

The UFC released a statement last week that Borg was forced to withdraw from the card due to a viral illness and doctors pulled him from the originally planned main event title bout. Borg was deemed unfit to compete by the UFC medical team.

Borg defended his position against some angry fans, and he claimed that wasn’t due to weight cutting issues. It should be noted that Ray Borg revealed after the fight withdrawal that he was parting ways with Dr. Michelle Ingels of Perfecting Athletes, who served as his nutrition team for the fight camp.

You dumbass, 1 that was suppose to be just a funny caption and 2 it wasn't weight cutting issues.
