Kevin Borjas

Overview

Kevin Borjas has gone the distance in five of his seven UFC fights. The other two ended in knockouts against him. Nicknamed "El Gallo Negro," the Lima-born Peruvian flyweight sits at 2-5 in the UFC, with both of his wins by unanimous decision.

He fights out of Pitbull Martial Arts Center and carries a 11-6-0 professional record across all promotions. The UFC mark is the one that counts here, and it shows a fighter who has spent most of his run on the wrong side of close ones.

Seven fights, no UFC finishes. That is the whole profile in four words.

UFC Career

Borjas reached the UFC through Dana White's Contender Series, where he beat Victor Dias by unanimous decision in August 2023. That fight sits outside his UFC record. His debut came three months later at UFC 295, a unanimous decision loss to Joshua Van.

The first knockout loss followed at UFC 301, where Alessandro Costa finished him at 1:35 of the second round. He answered with his first UFC win, a unanimous decision over Ronaldo Rodriguez in March 2025.

It did not become a run. Sumudaerji took a unanimous decision five months later, and Imanol Rodriguez stopped him in the second round in February 2026. Then came his best result: a unanimous decision over Andre Lima, an opponent our model rates as strong.

The follow-up was his shortest night. Rei Tsuruya, also a strong opponent, submitted him in the first round at 4:14.

His longest UFC win streak is one fight, and he carries a loss into his next one.

Fighting Style

Kevin Borjas is a hard man to take down who rarely goes looking for the grappling himself. He almost never shoots for takedowns and seldom hunts for submissions, preferring to keep the fight on his feet. His striking output and accuracy sit right around the UFC average.

The tradeoff is that he gets hit more than most. He absorbs more strikes per minute than the typical UFC fighter, which has cost him on the feet.

He is not a finisher. Both of his UFC wins went to the scorecards. Two of his five losses came by knockout or TKO, one by submission, and two by decision.
