9. Ray Borg Vs. Justin Scoggins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTqvdsJLKGU Weight Class: Flyweight Jumping up to the first notable fight on the card, the prelims see a couple of flyweight go at it as Ray Borg (9-1) looks to build on his three-fight UFC win streak against Justin Scoggins (10-2). Borg has won all his fights since a 2014 loss to Dustin Ortiz in his UFC debut. That has put him in play as a potential title contender in a flyweight division nearly completely cleaned out by champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson. Scoggins, meanwhile, is 3-2 in the promotion and pretty much out of the title picture after back-to-back losses to Ortiz and John Moraga in 2014. 2015 saw him bounce back with a win over Josh Sampo, but he has a tough test in Borg, who owns a strong submission game. With a win, the 12th ranked Borg will jump up into the top ten and be looking at title talk, though it's likely Henry Cejudo, the Olympic gold medalist, gets a shot first. Borg takes this one by submission regardless.
