Ronda Rousey’s mother, AnnMaria DeMars, recently spoke to LatiNation about her dislike for Edmond Tarverdyan as a coach and a human being. The former judo champion even challenged Tarverdyan to sue her for her statements.
“I think Edmond is a terrible coach, and I will say it publicly,” DeMars said. “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 percent of the judo matches she ever fought in.”
“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,” DeMars said. “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 every day. I think it’s superstition, and I would caution anybody from going there.”
