# UFC 330: Charles Johnson victory and Din Thomas retirement > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/ufc-330-bout-between-charles-johnson-and-eduardo-chapolin > Updated: 2026-08-16T00:38:06.000Z. Sources: 18. Developments: 2. Following Gillian Robertson’s loss to Mackenzie Dern, longtime coach and analyst Din Thomas announced his retirement from cornering duties. The timing of the announcement drew criticism from commentators, including Jon Anik, for being unprofessional. Thomas later issued an apology on his podcast, describing his decision to announce the retirement immediately after the bout as “completely irresponsible” and “despicable.” In fight action, Charles Johnson defeated Eduardo ‘Chapolin’ Henrique via a third-round submission using a rare ‘Scottish Twister,’ a move he credited to training with Patchy Mix. Henrique had stepped in on short notice to face Johnson at a catchweight after Jose Ochoa withdrew due to injury. Additionally, Chidi Njokuani secured a unanimous decision victory over Joel Alvarez. The bout was preceded by controversy regarding weigh-in discrepancies, as Njokuani reported a difference between a backstage scale and the official commission scales. Njokuani also noted the personal difficulty of his training camp following the recent loss of his Muay Thai coach. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-16: UFC 330: Din Thomas retires from cornering amid controversy UFC 330 saw coach Din Thomas announce his retirement following Gillian Robertson's title loss, sparking controversy.
