Tarverdyan loses cornerman license in Calif. has hearing 2/2

According to Executive Director of Sherdog.com Greg Savage, Ronda Rousey’s striking coach Edmond Tarverdyan’s license was revoked for alleged violation of s. 210 of California’s Code of Regulations which reads as follows –

§ 210. Application For License; Contents, Falsification.

(b) Falsification in whole or in part of a material fact or presentation on any application for a license shall result in a license being denied, and if previously granted, revoked unless otherwise ordered by the commission

Seconds, (cornermen), are typically required to be licensed by State and Provincial Athletic Commissions in regulated combative sports.

Edmond Tarverdyan, head trainer and corner to UFC’s former bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, has apparently had his license revoked.

The California State Athletic Commission’s agenda for an upcoming meeting on February 2, 2016 has been published and it reveals that they have revoked Tarverdyan’s seconds license and that he is appealing this.

MMA Fighting reports that Tarverdyan’s license was denied as he alllegedly indicated “no” for past criminal offenses. He would not have been denied, had he said yes. Foster is not asking other state commissions to honor a revocation or suspension until Tarverdyan gets proper due process. Thus his cornering Travis Browne in Massachusetts on Sunday was not an issue.
