On the other hand, Green, who probably wanted to say a similar thing, did not say it in the same way. He exclaimed, “Sheesh!” and a laughter erupted among the presenters.
Green’s remarks went viral as fans were left surprised Green said that on-air. Moreover, Green recently even claimed that Mackenzie Dern‘s partner contacted him after the viral moment.

Green’s story had a twist. He claimed that Dern texted him later from another number and persisted him to meet on that very day. Green was not available so they could not meet. However, later when he texted back he said he received a text saying, “This is her husband.” Green felt that Dern’s partner was trying to set him up. However, nothing happened between the pair.
Who is Mackenzie Dern’s partner Antonio Trocoli?
Dern separated from her husband Wesley Santos, who is a surfer, in 2022 and later accused him of domestic violence. The pair were embroiled in an ugly public divorce and legal proceedings.
Recently, she made public her year-long relationship with Antonio Trocoli. Although Green called him Dern’s husband, it is still unclear if the pair is married. Much like Dern, Trocoli is also an MMA fighter. However, unlike Dern, Trocoli has never been able to make it to the UFC.

According to UFC, Trocoli has a 12-3 record in pro-MMA. In July 2019, his big break came when he won a fight in Dana White’s Contender Series and earned a UFC contract. However, he tested positive for a drug test after the bout and it was turned into a NC. His contract was also revoked.
Nonetheless, he was again booked for a fight at UFC 282 against Ovince Saint Preux. However, this time, visa issues played spoilsport. His contract was canceled again. Trocoli last fought in November 2021, against Reslley Isael at the Brazilian Fighting Series 3. Trocoli won that bout via submission in the first round.
