Kevin Borjas

El Gallo Negro

Picks up first UFC victory
FlyweightUFC
March 29, 2025
Borjas defeated Ronaldo Rodriguez via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
It will go down as the most lucrative payday of Borjas' brief UFC run. Not only will he pick up his show and win bonuses, but he will walk away with 20 percent of Rodriguez's purse after the latter missed weight by a pound Friday morning. Borjas' hands looked exceptional. The biggest blow of the night was a Round 1 knockdown, but Kevin landed notable blows the entire fight. Most importantly, Borjas' roster spot will be safe on the heels of back-to-back losses to Joshua Van and Alessandro Costa to begin his time with the company.

Bout with Rodriguez still on
FlyweightUFC
March 28, 2025
Borjas will still face Ronaldo Rodriguez at UFC Mexico on Saturday after the latter missed weight by one pound, Danny Segura of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez weighed in at 127 pounds, and will forfeit 20 percent of his purse, which will go to Borjas. The fight will go on as scheduled as a catch weight bout. Borjas is still looking for his first win with the promotion, currently sitting at an 0-2 record in the UFC.
Fight scheduled for UFC Mexico
FlyweightUFC
December 5, 2024
Borjas (undisclosed) is scheduled to compete against Ronaldo Rodriguez in a flyweight fight at UFC Mexico on March 29, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Borjas will look to put his rough 2024 behind him. He was finished by Alessandro Costa, instead looking for his first win against Edgar Chairez at Noche UFC. That was until their fight got canceled, leaving him without an opponent until now. The event also saw Rodriguez outlast Ode Osbourne, the former's second of two fights this year.
Won't fight vs. Chairez
FlyweightUFC
September 3, 2024
Borjas is out of his scheduled fight against Edgar Chairez on Sep. 14, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
There's no report of why Borjas withdrew from the fight, but this means Chairez will now take on Joshua Van. Borjas has lost the two bouts he's participated in at the UFC level in his career, and based on this setback, it's unclear when he'll be able to return to the octagon.
Looking for first win vs. Chairez
FlyweightUFC
July 3, 2024
Borjas is set to compete against Edgar Chairez in a flyweight matchup in Noche UFC on September 14, Danny Segura of MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Borjas is coming off his second UFC defeat after losing to Alessandro Costa via TKO back at UFC 301 in Brazil back in May. Kevin will focus on getting his first win as another loss could put his opportunities for another fight in danger. His new opponent, Edgar Chairez, is coming off a victory from his previous matchup after defeating Daniel Lacerda via submission.
Still searching for first UFC win
FlyweightUFC
May 4, 2024
Borjas lost to Alessandro Costa via TKO (punches) at 1:35 of Round 2 at UFC 301 on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Borjas dropped his UFC debut to Joshua Van last November, but at least he started quickly in that fight. He could get nothing at all going against Costa. Borjas was left hobbled after eating repeated low kicks before eventually being knocked down and finished early in Round 2. He does have a win on Dana White's Contender Series on his resume, but even that came via decision. With back-to-back defeats to begin his official run with the company, there's zero guarantee Borjas will get a third opportunity.
