Ray Borg Says a Title Shot Makes Sense After Fight Night 106 Win

Ray Borg spoke with MMAjunkie following his win over Jussier Formiga at UFC Fight Night 106. You can see some of the quotes below:

On what’s next for him: “I see myself just moving up. Whether it’s moving up for a title shot – I rise to the occasion very well. If they want me to fight for the title, I’ll show up, and I’ll fight of the title, and I’ll win it. But other than that, if they want me to go back and fight the winner of (Henry) Cejudo vs. (Sergio) Pettis (at UFC 211 in May) or anyone else they have in mind, then let’s do. It’s whatever the UFC wants me to do.”

On his performance in the fight: “That was the game plan going into the fight that is if I got on top of him, or whether he was on top of me, I was going to hit him until he cried. That was the plan. As soon as I got on top, I made sure I capitalized on every position and (was) hitting him everywhere I could.”

On a possible title shot: “It makes sense (to fight for the title). Formiga’s a high-level black belt, and I’m just a kid from the ghetto in a small town, and I out-scrambled him, I out-grappled him, and he beat Wilson (in 2015). Wilson is fighting for the belt. Why wouldn’t it make sense? I’m comfortable with just going with the flow. If they want me to wait, let’s wait. If they want me to fight for it right away, let’s fight for it right away. If they want one more fight, I’m good. I’m just enjoying the ride. I’m taking it one step at a time, and we’ll see where it goes from here.”
