Despite Violent, Shocking Loss, Ronda Rousey Affirms Her Loyalty To Edmond Tarverdyan

Loyalty: Ain’t it a bitch? In some circles, it’s the measure of a man’s (or woman’s) character. In others, the lack of it can be spotted like a snake in the grass. Those who roll together, well, roll together, I guess you could say.

Take Ronda Rousey and her coach, Edmond Tarverdyan, for instance. Without ever having met the guy, the general census on Tarverdyan seems to be that he’s not all that great a person. Ronda’s mother hates him, for starters (like, “wouldn’t piss on him were he on fire” hates), and his sketchy credit history/current legal troubles doesn’t exactly paint him as a what you’d call an honest person.
