Ray Borg Out, Gustavo Lopez In For UFC on ESPN 10

Ray Borg has been replaced by Gustavo Lopez on the main card of UFC on ESPN 10.

Borg was scheduled to take on Merab Dvalishvili this Saturday night (June 13). During a media day session, the UFC announced that Borg is off the card due to personal reasons. Lopez was later reported to be the replacement by multiple outlets, including MMAFighting.

Taking to his Twitter account, Borg was brief in shedding some light on his removal from the UFC on ESPN 10 card.

“Family first, see you soon son.”

Borg’s son has been going through medical issues. He’s dealing with Hydrocephalus and has undergone multiple surgeries. MMA News wishes Borg’s son the very best at this time.

Lopez was last seen competing under the Combate Americas banner. He is the promotion’s bantamweight champion. He’ll likely vacate the title now that he’s onboard for UFC on ESPN 10. Lopez vs. Dvalishvili will be contested at a catchweight of 140 pounds given the short notice.

Here is the updated UFC on ESPN 10 card.
