TMZ released a video of a photography trying to catch up with Ronda Rousey’s controversial and highly criticized MMA coach, Edmond Tarverdyan. You can check out a video of the short conversation below.

In the brief conversation, when asked if Ronda Rousey would come back, Tarverdyan said, “It’s all good man. No plans made yet.” In response to being asked to people who say he isn’t the right coach, he said, “It doesn’t matter what people say.”

Many fans and analysts of the sport have recently been highly critical of Tarverdyan’s coaching and cornering of Rousey, especially since she started her recent slump. Also, in the past, Ronda Rousey’s mother, AnnMaria De Mars, has come out and publicly slammed Tarverdyan as a coach as well.

Rousey last fought at UFC 207 on Friday, December 30, 2016. She lost to Amanda Nunes by knockout less than a minute into the first round in the headlining title fight.
