The connection between Gillian Robertson and coach Din Thomas seems to have been fractured.
Thomas was in Robertson’s nook for the UFC 330 co-main occasion. Robertson challenged Mackenzie Dern for the ladies’s strawweight title this previous Saturday in Philadelphia. “The Savage” finally had her five-fight successful streak snapped, and her bid for UFC gold fell quick through unanimous determination.
Throughout the UFC 330 post-fight present on Paramount+, Thomas introduced that he’ll now not be cornering fighters. Whereas many felt the timing of Thomas’ reveal was weird, the backlash occurred when the longtime coach mentioned he felt Robertson got here as shut as she’ll ever get to successful UFC gold.
Throughout Monday’s version of “Deep Waters,” Thomas apologized for his feedback and even known as them “despicable.” Regardless of the apology, Robertson isn’t precisely forgiving. On a current episode of “The Ariel Helwani Present,” Helwani detailed a message that Robertson despatched to him (through House of Struggle).
“He did attain out to me privately at 5:00 PM after which despatched a voice message apologizing round 7:30 PM, to which I’ve not responded because of feedback he has made because the broadcast, privately, to my group that led me to consider there may be not a lot weight within the apology, reminiscent of, ‘Me doing that publicly was extra so for TV functions and scores,’” Robertson wrote.
The highest 115-pounder appears prepared to maneuver on from the scenario, and he or she desires to get again to work as quickly as potential.
“I don’t assume there’s a dialog available,” Robertson wrote. “I’m good with the whole lot. The individuals who signal my checks are cool. As for now, I regroup, take a while to heal, and I shall be again within the fitness center as quickly as potential on the identical mission.”
Thomas famous that he had been contemplating ending his run cornering fighters lengthy earlier than Robertson fought Dern. The previous American High Workforce mentor mentioned he thought he’d be achieved after Tyron Woodley was knocked out by Jake Paul of their boxing rematch again in 2021. Whether or not or not he sticks to it this time stays to be seen.
