Edmond Tarverdyan has received his fair share of criticism over the last few years. For many MMA fans, the coach of Ronda Rousey has been solely to blame for the downturn in Rousey’s career.
On Monday, Tarverdyan told Ariel Helwani on the 400th episode of The MMA Hour that the words of fans and media don’t really bother him. But the things said by other coaches — his peers — have been “hurtful.”
There was one such incident that seemed to both Tarverdyan the most. The Glendale Fighting Club head man was very intense with Travis Browne after the first round of his fight last year with Fabricio Werdum.
