Dana White Surprised by Din Thomas's Retirement Announcement After UFC 330

Dana White was surprised by a retirement announcement made by Din Thomas after UFC 330, which took place on Saturday night. While many anticipated Edson Barboza to retire following his fourth consecutive loss, it was Thomas's decision to step away from coaching that shocked the UFC community.

Din Thomas, who served as a cornerman for Gillian Robertson during the co-main event, announced his retirement after Robertson's unanimous decision loss to Mackenzie Dern. He stated that he felt he had taken Robertson as far as she could go and emphasized the demanding nature of coaching, which he found increasingly challenging.

White, who has a personal friendship with Thomas and collaborates with him on the show 'Lookin' For A Fight,' expressed his astonishment when informed of Thomas's decision, noting that he had never encountered a coach retiring from cornering fighters before.
