UFC 193 opinion: Rousey's coach Edmond Tarverdyan is the luckiest man in MMA

Following on from Dr. AnnMaria De Mars' comments on Edmond Tarverdyan, Roy Billington explains why he believe that Ronda Rousey's coach is the luckiest man in MMA.

As UFC Women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey readies herself for one of the biggest fights of her life against Holly Holm at UFC 193, her coach Edmond Tarverdyan has been undergoing battles of his own behind the scenes. Tarverdyan is engaged in a battle on two fronts against two formidable opponents, the IRS and his prize athlete's mother, Dr. AnnMaria De Mars.

Mr. Tarverdyan's legal troubles can be explained much more eloquently by my colleague, Paul Gift, but for me the most interesting battle going on behind the scenes is between Ronda Rousey's mother and Edmond Tarverdyan.
