Won't fight vs. Chairez
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
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
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.

Next opponent scheduled
Borjas is set to face off against Alessandro Costa at UFC 301 on May 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Borjas will make his return to the ring following his loss against Joshua Van in November. The 26-year-old Peruvian fighter will look to notch his first win in the UFC during his matchup with Costa in May.

Fades following fast start
Borjas lost to Joshua Van via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 295 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
Borjas earned his UFC opportunity with a unanimous decision win on Dana White's Contender Series this past August as a +300 underdog. He checked in as a +200 underdog here against Van in his official company debut and started out on fire before fading significantly. Borjas landed a handful of shots late in Round 1 that were unquestionably the biggest blows of the bout. Yet, his output dipped the rest of the way, and his striking defense deteriorated. There were enough positives here from Borjas, however, to make him a fighter to keep an eye on moving forward.
