Din Thomas Apologizes to Gillian Robertson After UFC 330 Incident

Din Thomas acknowledged his misstep following UFC 330, where he served as both an analyst and coach for Gillian Robertson during her strawweight title fight against Mackenzie Dern in Philadelphia. After Robertson's defeat, Thomas announced his retirement from coaching, a decision he later recognized as inappropriate given the circumstances.

In the days following the event, Thomas reflected on his actions, admitting he had unintentionally shifted the focus away from Robertson's significant fight. He expressed remorse for not waiting to discuss his retirement, emphasizing that he had stolen her moment instead of celebrating her achievements.

Thomas, who has coached Robertson throughout her career, conveyed his disappointment in himself for how he handled the situation. He reiterated his support for her and acknowledged her accomplishments, including a five-fight winning streak leading up to the title shot. Thomas expressed a desire for Robertson to accept his apology, stating that he had been troubled by the incident over the weekend.
