Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog |
Rolando Gabriel Dy (born August 11, 1990) is a Filipino mixed martial artist best known for fighting in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) featherweight division.[1] He is the former Abu Dhabi Warriors featherweight champion. He is the son of former WBC World super featherweight title holder Rolando Navarrete.[2]
Mixed martial arts career
Dy made his professional debut on a Nemesis MMA card in Quezon City, Philippines where he won by TKO in the 2nd round. He had 3 straight wins in Pacific Xtreme Combat (PXC) before signing with the UFC as a replacement fighter on two weeks notice.[3]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Dy's UFC debut was against TUF alum, Alex Caceres on June 17, 2017 in UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Correia.[4] Dy was dominated by the UFC veteran until the fight was stopped between the 2nd and 3rd rounds due to a cut on Dy's right eye. It was ruled as a TKO victory for Caceres.[5]
On September 23, 2017, Dy faced Teruto Ishihara in UFC Fight Night: Saint Preux vs. Okami.[6] He lost the fight via unanimous decision. The bout could've resulted to a majority draw if not for a point deduction from Dy for repeated groin strikes to Ishihara.[7] The scores read 28-27, 28-27 and 29-27.[8]
Dy confirmed that he was cut from the roster via email after 2 consecutive losses. However, he was offered a fight against UFC newcomer Wuliji Buren in UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Gastelum on November 25, 2017 as a late replacement.[9][10] At the weigh-ins, Dy weighed in at 148 lbs., two pounds over the featherweight limit. As a result, he forfeited 20% of his purse to Buren and the bout was fought at a catchweight.[11] Dy won the fight by unanimous decision.[12]
Dy faced Shane Young on June 23, 2018 at UFC Fight Night 132.[13] He lost the fight via technical knockout in the second round.[14] This fight earned him his first Fight of the Night award.[15] Later, he was subsequently released by the UFC.[16]
Post-UFC
After being released by the UFC, Dy fought in two Middle East based promotions and captured the Abu Dhabi Warriors featherweight Championship on May 6, 2019.[17]
Dy tried to make his first ADW title defense against Do Gyeom Lee at ADW 6 on October 18, 2019, but lost the bout via knockout.
After the title loss, Dy returned to Brave CF, facing Anzor Abdulkhozhaev at Brave CF 33 on December 27, 2019. He lost the bout via technical knockout in the first round.
