If you’ve been with this site for the past year or so, you know that from time to time we are allowed to creep on UFC women’s Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in the gym. In the last year trainer Edmond Tarverdyan has made some great strides with Rousey especially in the boxing department. If you take tape of her from a year ago to now, you totally see a major difference. Shots are smoother, more compact, weight is being thrown into punches; a total night and day difference.
So on Monday, when Tarverdyan was talking to reporters ahead of Rousey’s UFC 170 fight with Sara McMann, he dropped a subtle testament to this:
” I’ll be honest, we get boxing world champions…girls, she drops all of them with body shots. So if you are dropping people with 14oz gloves, you guys should be seeing that.”
In the words of pro-wrestler Ron Simmons, DAMN! Now that’s with padded 14oz gloves. I imagine what would happen if one of those shots landed with a 4oz glove on? Liver explosion! Will UFC 170 be the first instance inside the Octagon in which we see a liver fully explode or a spleen disintegrate due to Rousey executing a Terry Bogard style “Buster Wolf” body shot? We are not sure, but I just wrote that because I wanted to reference SNK’s King Of The Fighters; Long Live that game.
I suppose this is the part in which you go click on the video below.
