Mackenzie Dern Critiques Din Thomas Over UFC 330 Corner Split

Mackenzie Dern has voiced her criticism of Din Thomas regarding his handling of his departure from Gillian Robertson's corner team following UFC 330.

During the post-fight show, Thomas announced his retirement from cornering, implying that Robertson's loss to Dern highlighted her limitations. Although he later apologized, he stood by his decision to step back from coaching, as reported by BJPenn.com.

In a discussion on The Ariel Helwani Show, Dern remarked that Thomas's public announcement was unnecessary and suggested that such matters should be kept private. She emphasized that the focus should remain on Robertson's achievements, noting her record-breaking journey to the title shot and her potential for growth at 31. Dern also highlighted that Thomas had been a consistent presence in Robertson's career, guiding her through significant victories.
