LOS ANGELES -- Edmond Tarverdyan will be back in his fighters' corners before long.
The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) suspended the well-known coach for three months and fined him $5,000 for falsifying his application with regards to a past arrest at a hearing Tuesday. Tarverdyan will also be on probation for three years.
Tarverdyan, known for coaching UFC star Ronda Rousey, was arrested in 2010 on two felony counts of identity theft and one count of resisting arrest. The coach, who trains fighters out of Glendale Fighting Club in Los Angeles County, put down a "no" on his corner's license application in April 2, 2015 regarding whether he had any criminal offenses.
