EDMONTON, Alberta -- Demetrious Johnson won't be breaking Anderson Silva's UFC title defense record this weekend after all.

Ray Borg, Johnson's UFC 215 opponent, was forced to withdraw from the fight on Thursday evening due to illness, thus canceling Saturday night's main event, MMA Fighting has learned.

As a result, the Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko women's bantamweight title fight will serve as the new pay-per-view main event in Edmonton.

According to multiple sources, Borg has been battling an illness this week and was deemed unfit to fight by UFC doctors.

Earlier on Thursday, Borg told MMA Fighting he had eight more pounds to cut before Friday morning’s weigh-in.

In April, Johnson successfully defended the flyweight title for the 10th time, which tied Anderson Silva's record.

Coincidentally, the UFC wanted to book Johnson vs. TJ Dillashaw for the potential record-breaking 11th defense, but Johnson campaigned for Borg, the true flyweight, to be his next opponent. »
