A key flyweight matchup expected to take place in Austin will instead be held in New York.

UFC officials today announced that a Brandon Moreno (14-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) injury forced the promotion to delay a scheduled bout with Ray Borg (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC), pulling it off February’s UFC Fight Night 126 card and pushing it back seven weeks to UFC 223, which takes place April 7 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The night’s official bout order has yet to be revealed, but the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Borg is No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings, and Moreno is No. 8.

Moreno, a 24-year-old Mexican fighter, became a quick fan favorite after storming on the UFC scene with a three-fight winning streak. “The Assassin Baby” picked off some big names – Louis Smolka, Ryan Benoit and Dustin Ortiz – during the stretch, which pushed his overall winning streak to 11 fights. However, in his most recent bout, he suffered a unanimous-decision defeat to fellow contender Sergio Pettis in August’s UFC Fight Night 114 headliner.

Moreno now meets Borg, a 24-year-old who went 5-1 with victories over the likes of Smolka and Jussier Formiga to earn a title shot with champ Demetrious Johnson. However, in UFC 216’s co-headliner this past October, “The Tazmexican Devil” suffered a fifth-round submission loss to the champ via dazzling armbar

With the addition, UFC 223 now includes:

Interim champ Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov – for interim lightweight title Champ Rose Namajunas vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk – for strawweight title Paul Felder vs. Al Iaquinta Michael Chiesa vs. Anthony Pettis Felice Herrig vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz Chris Gruetzemacher vs. Joe Lauzon Ray Borg vs. Brandon Moreno
