Rolando Dy Discusses His Victory at UFC Fight Night 122

Speaking to reporters in a media scrum after his win at UFC Fight Night 122 (via MMAjunkie), Rolando Dy discussed his win at UFC Fight Night 122. Below are some highlights.

Dy on why the win was a miracle: “For me, it’s a miracle. I was released. Not officially, but we received an email like three weeks ago that they cut me out of the UFC. I was so depressed because I had no chance to prove myself because after the two unfortunate losses, I was cut. I was so depressed. I go out, go out with my girl, play with my dogs – just forgetting that my dream as a UFC fighter was cut short. Then two weeks before this fight, we received an email that the UFC wanted me to fight at UFC-Shanghai. I was overweight. I was so out of shape.”

Dy on not giving up on your dreams: “Don’t give up on your dreams so fast. It’s a rocky road. It’s not easy to get your dreams. If your dream is too easy, you should find another dream. God gave me a rocky a road to get my dream. I’m still there. I’m still far from the finish line, I’m not at the finish line.”
