One-time UFC flyweight title challenger Ray Borg was recently cleared to fight by his doctor, and he hopes to get back into the octagon soon.

As for the man whose actions forced him out of a fight, Borg (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) doesn’t have time for that. News of a plea bargain for UFC star Conor McGregor brings a shrug.

“I don’t care,” Borg told MMAjunkie hours after McGregor avoided jail time for the April bus attack that forced Borg to withdraw from UFC 223. “Whatever he got, I don’t really care. I’ve been too focused on my son to really care what’s going on with Conor.”

That’s not to say Borg was surprised that McGregor got off with the legal equivalent of a slap on the wrist.

“Even if he wasn’t a celebrity, the way the legal system works nowadays, you do a little bit here and there, make it right, and you’re off to a clean slate,” Borg said. “I’ve been in trouble as a young kid, so I know how it works. I don’t know if it has even much to do with him being a superstar. It’s just the legal system.”

Borg’s son, Anthony, is doing better than expected after being hospitalized with hydrocephalus. Doctors are hopeful he’ll eventually be able to have a shunt that drains excess spinal fluid removed altogether.

The health scare that kept Borg and his wife by their son’s bedside put the situation with McGregor into perspective.

“It’s hard to care, because when your son is in a hospital bed going through surgery, not a lot of other things matter,” Borg said.

Whether Borg has completely let the matter go is unclear. Asked whether there was currently any legal action underway, the 24-year-old fighter said, “I can’t talk about it” and added, “it’s confidential.” Later, he said there wasn’t “any legal action with Conor at all right now.”

However, a source close to Borg, who asked for anonymity because the matter wasn’t yet public, told MMAjunkie that McGregor’s camp had recently reached out about an out-of-court settlement.

“I’m kind of a prideful guy,” Borg said. “I can still fight for my money. We were very fortunate to get support from the community through the GoFundMe, and that was enough to cover some medical costs for my son.

“At the end of the day, I know I can still fight. That’s his money. That’s money he earned, and because he took money out of my pocket, it is what it is. We squashed our beef, and I’ll move on and continue to fight.”

Whether the two strike a deal or not, Borg said he’s forgiven McGregor.

“What my son went through was a lot for me and my wife,” he said. “There were a lot of ups and downs, seeing him hooked up to monitors and induced into a medical coma, you learn there’s not a lot of room for hate anymore.

“Whatever he did, it’s water under the bridge. I’m over it. I forgive him. I say let’s move on with life.”

That means getting a fight sooner than later.

After being forced to withdraw from UFC 223, Borg withdrew from a planned fight with Brandon Moreno at UFC Fight Night 129, which marked the third time the matchup had been postponed.
