Ronda Rousey's coach Tarverdyan loses California cornerman license

Edmond Tarverdyan, head of Glendale Fight Club and long-time coach of UFC star Ronda Rousey, has had his seconds license revoked by the California State Athletic Commission.

Edmond Tarverdyan was in Travis Browne's corner for his fight with Matt Mitrione at UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs. Cruz in Boston, MA. It was the Glendale Fight Club coach's first UFC appearance since he came under fire for his coaching performance in Ronda Rousey's knockout loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193.

While he's cornered his fighters in Australia and Massachusetts in recent months, for the time being, he does not have a seconds license in California.
