Rolando Gabriel Dy Jr. (born August 11, 1991) is a Filipino mixed martial artist who is currently signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and fights in the Featherweight division.[1] 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]
