Ronda Rousey's mom predicted knockout loss, wants 'Rowdy' to abandon 'idiot' coach and change camps

Ronda Rousey lost her women's bantamweight title when she got knocked out by Holly Holm at the UFC 193 pay-per-view (PPV) event last November in Australia. During the fight, "Rowdy" was unable to ground her opponent and as a result, was forced to play the stand-up game.

Probably not the best idea when faced with a former boxing champion.

Nevertheless, Rousey lumbered forward and tried to land a one-hitter quitter, while "The Preacher's Daughter" kept her distance and beak-busted the Olympian with precision counter-punching. After the fight, coach Edmond Tarverdyan still wasn't convinced Holm was the better striker (read those comments here).
