Thomas announced his retirement from cornering live on air after his fighter Gillian Robertson made a failed Ultimate Fighting Championship strawweight title bid against Mackenzie Dern at UFC 330. The former fighter faced severe backlash for stealing the moment right after his fighter lost the biggest fight of her life and subsequently issued an apology to Robertson.
While Brady doesn’t approve of Thomas’ public comments about Robertson, he’s still open to having the UFC analyst in his corner.
Sean Brady discusses Din Thomas after Gillian Robertson’s UFC 330 title loss
On the “Deep Waters” podcast, Thomas hinted that he will be in Brady’s (19-2) corner in his upcoming clash against Gabriel Bonfim (20-1) on Nov. 7 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas.
However, Brady didn’t confirm if Thomas will be in his corner on Nov. 7. While he didn’t like Thomas announcing his retirement after Robertson’s loss, he also believes the backlash his coach faced wasn’t justified.
Brady says that he would be glad to have Thomas in his corner for his upcoming fight. However, he is not dependent on the former fighter and has a full team behind him.
“The thing with Din is, I do not agree with what Din said and how he said it,” Brady told Ariel Helwani. “Perhaps that shouldn’t have been said. I feel like Din regrets what he said and how he said it. I feel like that is definitely something I would want said to me in private… I don’t think it was fair for everyone to stack on him because of one thing he said. I love Din. Din has flown up to Philly multiple times and never asked me for anything. He’s done a lot of good things for me and my team. I don’t know if he’s gonna be in my corner. We’re still gonna be working together… If he wants to be in my corner, I will gladly have him. He’s more like a tactical corner; he’s not my head corner, but I love Din. He plays an important role. It will be a loss if he decides not to corner me, but if he decides not to, I completely understand.”
