T. Wrecks up next
Borshchev is scheduled to compete against fellow lightweight Terrance McKinney at UFC 317 in Paradise on June 28, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Borshchev will look to bounce back from a decision loss he suffered at UFC 312 in Sydney. A week before the pay-per-view, McKinney finished Tom Nolan in under one round. Borshchev will not have momentum on his side, but that has not stopped him from getting UFC wins before.

Struggles continue in Sydney
Borshchev lost to Tom Nolan via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 27-30) at UFC 312 on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.
ANALYSIS
This sort of felt like a must-win for Borshchev as a -135 favorite, and it didn't go his way. He displayed excellent athleticism and balance in stuffing 7-of-8 Nolan takedown attempts, but the harder blows on the feet most definitely came from the other side, which is a major concern considering Borshchev is a pure stand-up specialist and the lead striking coach for Team Alpha Male. The 33-year-old drops to 2-4-1 in his last seven fights dating back to March 2022. That's not going to cut it.

Taking on Nolan
Borshchev will take on Tom Nolan in a lightweight bout at UFC 312 on Feb. 8 in Sidney, Australia, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Borshchev will look to make it two straight after taking care of James Llontop via split decision back in August. The lightweight Now carries a UFC record of 3-3-1, and he'll take on an opponent in Nolan who is less experienced, with a 2-1 record. Nolan is coming off two straight wins, most recently besting Alex Reyes in August.

Gets right back in win column
Borshchev defeated James Llontop via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Itching to immediately get back in the Octagon following a dreadful showing in a submission defeat to Chase Hooper in May, Borshchev returned here and did just enough to get back in the win column. This was a stand-up brawl, which is the type of fight Borshchev -- the striking coach at Team Alpha Male -- excels in. Both he and Llontop landed 97 total strikes, but Slava connected on the more meaningful blows, especially over the course of the first ten minutes. Borshchev's upside is quite low as a 32-year-old with zero grappling game to speak of, but his roster spot should be secure for a while with this win.

Llontop up next
Borshchev is scheduled to compete against James Llontop in a lightweight fight at the UFC's Aug. 24 Vegas event, per Mike Heck of MMA Fighting.
ANALYSIS
After finishing his 2023 with a draw and beginning his 2024 with a submission loss, Borshchev will look to get back on track with a win over Llontop. Both fighters are coming off losses, trying to get their momentum back at a high in the lightweight division.
