This weekend, in the main event of UFC 215<\/a>, dominant flyweight champion Demetrious \u201cMighty Mouse\u201d Johnson will attempt to make history with an eleventh-consecutive title defense. The man standing in his way will be the 24-year-old Ray Borg.<\/p>\n

For all Borg\u2019s talent, he\u2019s being counted out the majority of the MMA community, as Johnson is simply viewed as too dominant a force to stop. Borg himself, however, is pure confidence, and that\u2019s in large part due to what he\u2019s calling a \u201cperfect\u201d training camp for the champ.<\/p>\n

Borg explained how he made this perfect camp on the latest episode of BJ Penn Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraining camp has been perfect,\u201d he said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t have had a better training camp.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI added on a new strength and conditioning coach, a new wrestling coach,\u201d he continued. \u201cI added on Lawrence Ferreira. He owns Lawrence Ferreira Performance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as sparring partners go, I\u2019ve had a little bit of everybody,\u201d Borg explained. \u201cJackson-Wink has a little bit of everybody for sparring partners \u2013 especially stylistically-wise, they have just about everybody stylistically-wise and body type wise. We had some guys down here from China, who are really good wrestlers. And then a big factor for this camp was having John Dodson as a sparring partner, who spent 50 minutes [in the cage] with Demetrious, [so he] knows Demetrious\u2019 strengths and Demetrious\u2019 weaknesses. Having him in my camp has been a really big part of it, having him as a sparring partner. It was really nice having Dodson as a part of this camp for this fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe pretty much just mapped out the best fight camp and the best team I could have behind me for this fight. I couldn\u2019t have had a planned fight camp any better.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you think Ray Borg’s all-star training camp will be enough to carry him to victory over the dominating Demetrious Johnson <\/a>at UFC 215?<\/p>\n
