To let you know, the UFC Light Heavyweight champion was previously in a relationship with Merle Christine last year after divorcing his at-the-time wife, with whom he had two children. However, the former couple eventually unfollowed one other on social media and removed images and videos of each other from their accounts.
Later, he revealed the truth behind their breakup in an interview with Full Send MMA earlier this year after being asked by many on the internet. Discussing the separation he revealed a surprising reason for discovering her at-the-time partner was already married. In his words:
Well it’s a little hard to talk about this. Because for me I already deleted this person from life. I would also like to ask fans to also delete her from your life. It was a person I believed, I put her in my house, with my family. After all, I found out, she was married.

With the UFC fighter’s comments now added to the mix, the conversation is expected to heat up even more, despite his advice not to talk about it. While the former kickboxer requested followers to distance themselves from his ex-girlfriend and stop discussing it, Merle responded in kind, advising fans to stay away from making harsh remarks about their breakup and wishing him the best of luck in the future.
