Rousey avoids questions about her mother insulting her trainer

11 years ago

Ronda Rousey's mother had some blistering comments for her daughter's trainer recently, and the UFC women's bantamweight champion doesn't want to talk about it.

"Any reaction and response I have for my mother, she's going to hear from me and not a media outlet," Rousey said at a UFC 193 media day, according to MMAFighting.com's Marc Raimondi.

AnnMaria De Mars called Edmond Tarverdyan a horrible person, a bad trainer, and a sexist, even going so far as to admit she'd run him over with her car if there wasn't a law against it.

Tarverdyan didn't retaliate when handling questions about his star pupil's mother.

"It doesn't matter for me," Tarverdyan said. "We have a fight in front of us Nov. 14. That's all I worry about and I care about at this point. It's her mom, at the end of the day. And that's it. I'm a person that's never spoke negative about anybody's mom and will never do that. Friendship, anybody. I've always said a mom is a mom and that's it. That's all I have to say."

Rousey wouldn't reveal whether or not she had confronted her mother about the situation.

"I really don't think that's anybody's business," she said.
