Sean Brady disagrees with Din Thomas’ handling of UFC 330 backlash
Sean
Brady believes Din Thomas
could've handled his retirement from cornering better.

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.

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.â€

Dustin Poirier admits he helped teammate cheat scale to make weight
Dustin
Poirier will do whatever it takes to help his teammates.

Poirier recently recalled an incident in which he helped a teammate
make weight illegally. Poirier's friend was over the weight limit
for a fight in Mississippi, and the former
Ultimate Fighting Championship interim titleholder resorted to
manipulating the scale to help him.

Dustin Poirier details how he lifted an overweight teammate
during a Mississippi weigh-in

Fighters shed every bit of clothing and stand behind a towel when
they're close to the weight limit. Poirier stood behind the towel
with his teammate while everyone else was on the other side. “The
Diamond†claims he slightly lifted his friend so that he made
weight.

“One time one of my buddies was fighting in Mississippi,†Poirier
said on the “Deep Waters†podcast. “And they had the towel out, he
was naked, he was over [the weight limit]. I was behind the towel
with him. Everybody was in front. I grabbed a handful of hairy man
*ss cheeks and I lifted him up a little bit, got him on
weight.â€

Poirier (30-10) hung up his gloves after losing to Max
Holloway last year. He has since admitted that he misses
fighting and hasn't entirely ruled out a return.

Zabit Magomedsharipov signs with RAF, faces fellow UFC vet in Abu Dhabi

Zabit Magomedsharipov is heading to the wrestling mats.

Promotional officials confirmed to MMA Fighting that Magomedsharipov is set to face fellow UFC featherweight veteran Giga Chikadze at RAF Abu Dhabi. The event takes place Nov. 14 at Etihad Arena.

Magomedsharipov had his final MMA fight nearly seven years ago, defeating Calvin Kattar in the main event of UFC Moscow in November 2019. The 35-year-old went 6-0 during his UFC run, including a victory over Jeremy Stephens, along with a trio of stoppage wins.

Chikadze is a 13-fight UFC veteran who began his promotional run with seven straight wins before running into Kattar in the main event of UFC Vegas 46 in January 2022, losing a lopsided unanimous decision in his first UFC main event. Since then, “Ninja†picked up a win against Alex Caceres, but has since dropped his past four octagon appearances.

Additionally, Jordan Burroughs opponent for the event is set as he'll face Azamat Nurykau from their classic matchup during the 2019 world championships — which Burroughs won in dramatic fashion.

RAF Abu Dhabi is headlined by a cruiserweight crossover championship match between Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev.
