After a successful career in United States, with an undefeated 6-0 mixed martial arts record, it was revealed in April, 2014, that Borg had signed with the UFC.[5]
Borg was scheduled to make his UFC debut against Dustin Ortiz on April 19, 2014, at UFC on Fox: Werdum vs. Browne.[6] He lost the fight via split decision.[7]
Borg was scheduled to face Ryan Benoit, at UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens.[8] However, due to an injury, Benoit was replaced by promotional newcomer Shane Howell.[9] Borg won the fight via submission (rear-naked choke) in the first round.[10] The win also won Borg his first Performance of the Night bonus award.[11]
Borg was briefly linked to a potential fight against Richie Vaculik on November 8, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 55.[12] However, Borg was forced to pull out of the event due to injury and was replaced by Neil Seery.[13] Subsequently, Seery pulled out of that bout as well and was replaced by Louis Smolka.[14]
