Kevin Borjas

El Gallo Negro

Peru

Finished after fast start
FlyweightUFC
February 28, 2026
Borjas lost to Imanol Rodriguez via TKO (punches) at 4:21 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
This was one of Borjas' better performances with the UFC. Unfortunately, it also resulted in his fourth loss in five fights with the company. Entering as a +350 underdog and facing a legitimate prospect in Rodriguez, Borjas had one massive flurry early on and was credited with a pair of knockdowns during the sequence. He was aggressive in pursuing the finish, but Rodriguez was eventually able to muscle him to the mat to end the threat, and Borjas never threatened again offensively. The Peruvian is entertaining, and the flyweight division needs all the depth it can find, but one would have to think Borjas is on the chopping block given his struggles to date.

Taking part in UFC Mexico
FlyweightUFC
December 1, 2025
Borjas will face off against Imanol Rodriguez at UFC Mexico on Feb. 28, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Borjas didn't fare well in his last bout against Su Mudaerji at UFC Shanghai in August, losing via unanimous decision while being held to 16 significant strikes. However, he may have an advantage against Rodriguez, who will be taking part in his first UFC fight after being offered a contract in October following a victory over Roque Conceicao.
Not competitive in defeat
FlyweightUFC
August 24, 2025
Borjas lost to Su Mudaerji via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Shanghai on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Simply put, you're not going to win many fights in which you log just 16 significant strikes in a 15-minute bout, in addition to getting stuffed on all five of your takedown attempts. That was exactly the case for Borjas, who entered as a slight betting underdog (+140). He did rack up some clinch time and was a bit more aggressive in Round 3, but it was far from enough. Borjas has now came up empty in three of his last four trips to the Octagon. His time may be running out.
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.
