07-07-26

A flyweight matchup between Kevin Borjas and Rei Tsuruya is being lined up for UFC Fight Night 286 at Shanghai Indoor Stadium on Aug. 29.

The 125-pound bout was confirmed by MMA Junkie with a pair of sources, though the promotion has not yet officially announced the fight.

Borjas enters with an 11-5 MMA record and a 2-4 mark in the UFC. He is coming off a unanimous decision win over Andre Lima, a bout in which he missed the flyweight limit.

Borjas is a Dana White's Contender Series signee and has alternated between two losses and one win during his UFC tenure.

Tsuruya holds an 11-1 MMA record and is 2-1 in the UFC. The Road to UFC veteran made his promotional debut at UFC 303 at flyweight with a decision win over Carlos Hernandez.

He then dropped a decision to Joshua Van in his second UFC appearance before rebounding at UFC Fight Night 277, where he submitted Luis Gurule in the first round at bantamweight.
