UFC Flyweight Ray Borg has come out in defiance against 'keyboard gangsters' who have doubted the veracity of the eye injury he sustained in Conor McGregor's attack on a bus in which he was a passenger. The MMA fighter was said to have suffered corneal abrasions and the American has recently posted a doctor's report along with a staunch rebuttal of his critics:

For the key board gangsters that think this is a cop out and for some reason think glasses make you invincible. I have mouths to feed and had a baby on the way leading up to this fight. I also extended this fight in agreement to fight Moreno at a later date due to his injury putting my family at more of a distress.
I do not know why you think I can tell the future and think I planned this all out to “make money” off Conor I came into this sport to make money off of winning fights and after being medically examined by 2 doctors I was deemed unfit to compete so hey what do you know food was taken off of my families plate for something out of my control.
And those who think it was a weight thing.... lol ask my guy who works for the Pi, I was 129 when I was taken to the hospital 3 pounds away from my weight nearly 24 hours from weigh ins also for those that say I was fine in the embedded video, you literally saw me for 4 seconds. So here is my medical report.
UFC's latest Embedded video shows Borg in the aftermath of the attack wearing glasses, leading people to question the real reasons for the fighters withdrawal from UFC223.

Borg was scheduled to fight Brandon Moreno but the bout was pulled after Borg's injury. Michael Chiesa also had to cancel his bout with Anthony Pettis after the American sustained lacerations to the face when Conor McGregor threw a sack truck through a bus window.
