Mark De La Rosa spoke with reporters following his win over Joby Sanchez at UFC Fight Night 139. You can see some excerpts below, courtesy of MMAjunkie:

On the flyweights that gone public after the UFC cut them: “I got my job. Maybe they’ve got to do a better job of promoting themselves. Maybe they need to stay out of the media so much. Maybe they need to stop running their mouths. Maybe they just need to shut up and fight. I’m just happy. My first fight coming in I took on 10 days’ notice at ’35. The majority of my fights are at ’35. So if they keep the ’25 division I’m more than happy to stay in it. Twenty-five, ’35, if they want to keep mixing up both, I’ll keep doing whatever the UFC wants me to do.”

On taking the short notice fight: “I was happy I got the opportunity, but I want a fight camp. Taking these fights short notice, short notice and just making the best of what I’ve got. You don’t want to see me in there with a full camp.”
