UFC flyweight Ray Borg opened up on The MMA Hour (h/t MMA Fighting's Shaun Al-Shatti) about the eye injury he suffered during Conor McGregor's bus attack last Thursday prior to last Saturday's UFC 223.

UFC had to remove Borg from the card due to "multiple corneal abrasions." Borg explained to Ariel Helwani how he initially didn't think much of the injury to his eye until the pain persisted:

"My eye was a little irritated, but I didn’t really think much of it, and it wasn’t until later that day that the small shards and particles of glass that were on my cornea were what really caused the irritation. I personally didn’t even want to get looked at by a doctor, but as I was trying to get on with my weight cut, my eye just started killing me and I was advised to go see a doctor and get checked out."
