Ronda Jean Rousey, you listen to your mother! And your mother says to stop training under Edmond Tarverdyan! Oh, and so do a lot of other people.
When Edmond Tarverdyan isn’t metaphorically holding Ronda Rousey back, he’s literally holding her back.
When Rousey’s talkative mother, AnnMaria DeMars, blew up about Rousey’s coach in the weeks leading up to UFC 193, it was viewed as odd. After all, Rousey was dominating opponents in a way that had never been seen in the UFC. Why should she mess with success?
One of the weirdest, most sudden rivalries of 2015 was Ronda Rousey’s Mom vs. Ronda Rousey’s Coach.
Then she got brutalized by Holly Holm, most likely due to Tarverdyan telling Ronda to keep headbutting her fist until she broke her hand.

She is sticking by her coach, 100%.
