Video: Rousey’s mother on her coach – “He’s a terrible coach, he hit the lottery when Ronda walked in there”

Dr. AnnMaria De Mars (better known to some as Ronda Rousey’s mother) took to LatiNation to share her opinion on her daughters head coach, Edmond Tarverdyan, whom she doesn’t seem to be a big fan of as evidenced by the video below.

I think Edmond is a terrible coach. And I will say it publicly. I think he’s a terrible coach, I think he hit the lottery when Ronda walked in there, she was winning before she ever met him, she probably won 99% of the Judo matches she ever fought in, she’d won the junior worlds when she was 17, she got a bronze medal in the Olympics, she got a silver medal in the world championships – she was one of the top athletes in the world when she walked in there and he wouldn’t even give her the time of day for months. Somebody like that is a terrible coach and I think she stays there because it’s like somebody pitches a no-hitter when they’re wearing red underwear and they wear that red underwear for everyday and I think it’s superstition and I would caution anybody from going there. And I think it’s bad that he uses her to lure people in and the reason that I tell everybody – and I told Ronda – I’m not going to be quiet about this anymore – he’s a bad person and people should not go there. And if he wants to sue me that’s my honest opinion.
