The relationship between Gillian Robertson and coach Din Thomas appears to have been fractured.

Thomas was in Robertson’s corner for the UFC 330 co-main event. Robertson challenged Mackenzie Dern for the women’s strawweight title this past Saturday in Philadelphia. “The Savage” ultimately had her five-fight winning streak snapped, and her bid for UFC gold fell short via unanimous decision.

During the UFC 330 post-fight show on Paramount+, Thomas announced that he will no longer be cornering fighters. While many felt the timing of Thomas’ reveal was bizarre, the backlash occurred when the longtime coach said he felt Robertson came as close as she’ll ever get to winning UFC gold.

During Monday’s edition of “Deep Waters,” Thomas apologized for his comments and even called them “despicable.” Despite the apology, Robertson isn’t exactly forgiving. On a recent episode of “The Ariel Helwani Show,” Helwani detailed a message that Robertson sent to him (via Home of Fight).

“He did reach out to me privately at 5:00 PM and then sent a voice message apologizing around 7:30 PM, to which I have not responded due to comments he has made since the broadcast, privately, to my team that led me to believe there is not much weight in the apology, such as, ‘Me doing that publicly was more so for TV purposes and ratings,'” Robertson wrote.

The top 115-pounder seems ready to move on from the situation, and she wants to get back to work as soon as possible.

“I don’t think there’s a conversation to be had,” Robertson wrote. “I’m good with everything. The people who sign my checks are cool. As for now, I regroup, take some time to heal, and I will be back in the gym as soon as possible on the same mission.”

Thomas noted that he had been considering ending his run cornering fighters long before Robertson fought Dern. The former American Top Team mentor said he thought he’d be done after Tyron Woodley was knocked out by Jake Paul in their boxing rematch back in 2021. Whether or not he sticks to it this time remains to be seen.
