Despite the emergence and growth of mixed martial arts in the Philippines, only a handful of Filipino fighters can say they fought inside the UFC octagon.
Just recently, Mark Streigl made headlines when he signed with the prestigious organization, creating a lot of buzz in the Filipino MMA community.
“Kapag pumasa siya sa USADA, sa tingin ko ready na siya sa UFC,” Dy stated on the “Hit List” podcast. “Marami kasing ready sa UFC na fighter, pero hindi ready sa USADA. So if pumasa siya, skill-wise and strength-wise sa tingin ko ready na siya. Kasi sobrang strikto ng USADA. Ang iniinom ko lang nu’n kape, bawal energy drink, bawal lahat,” Dy added.
Skills-wise, Dy said he is convinced that the US-based Filipino fighter can triumph against the best fighters in the world.
