Borg: Vows to go gangster on DJ, bring him into a dog fight
Ray Borg: “At the end of the day you have to be willing to bite down and get gangster for five minutes at a time. You’ve got to be prepared to bring him into a dog fight.”
Demetrious Johnson is the official pound for pound best fighter in the UFC. He is tied with league G.O.A.T. Anderson Silva for most title defenses, and aims to set a new record Saturday night vs. Ray Borg. The Jackson/Wink protege Borg is 5-2 in the UFC, and on a two-fight win streak. While on paper it looks like yet another win for ‘Mighty’ Johnson, Borg is confident heading into the fight of his life.
He’s more vulnerable than people think, said Borg to Damon MartinMMAWeekly.com. He comes off as invincible and he always fights that way and it seems that way, but people don’t know that he has vulnerabilities. He really does but no one has been able to capitalize on that just because Demetrious’ best asset is his knowledge when he’s in there. I think that’s what overwhelms people in there, plus his cardio to keep a pace for five rounds.
But he’s vulnerable and it’s been showing lately and we have our spots and our moments were we’re going to take advantage.”
You have to be willing to be technical. You have to be willing to be smart. But at the end of the day you have to be willing to bite down and get gangster for five minutes at a time. You’ve got to be prepared to bring him into a dog fight.
You’ve got to be prepared for everything. Having the ability to do both [wrestle and strike] is a game changer.
I think the stars are going to align. DJ’s been a great champion, he’s had his time and he’s done great things for the division. It’s nature. Everyone’s time always comes.
