Ronda Rousey's mother is a bona fide "bad ass" -- but she's put Ronda in a tough situation by calling out her trainer ... so says UFC honcho Dana White.
It's no secret AnnMaria De Mars hates Edmond Tarverdyan-- she's blasted him in the media for months and blames him for Ronda's loss to Holly Holm.
Ronda has defended the guy -- and says she's committed to him as her trainer. In fact, they were training together last week.
So, we asked White if Ronda's mom was right -- and while being as politically correct as one could be, he sorta backed Edmond, crediting him for helping her make the transition into MMA.
