With very little cage time to critique and the grappling ability that has kept her undefeated in route to the world&#8217;s most coveted female title, Ronda Rousey&#8217;s striking capabilities are still an unknown factor in her MMA game.<\/p>\n<p>Be it propaganda or not, Ronda Rousey&#8217;s head striking coach, Edmond Tarverdyan gave Ronda fans a glimmer of hope about the champs punching abilities when appearing on Sherdog&#8217;s radio network.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out:<\/p>\n<p>    <em>\u201cWhat she has is amazing, but people don\u2019t understand: Ronda\u2019s boxing is so good right now,\u201d said Tarverdyan. \u201cIf I could, I\u2019d turn that girl into a boxing professional world champion. She was sparring with girls in our gym that are like 16-1 and WBA world champions, Lucia Rijker \u2026 and Ronda gets the best out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cRonda has a great jab. She does like six in a row when we\u2019re doing pad work and mitt work. In the gym she\u2019s also working that jab. It comes natural to her. She always had her left foot forward when she was doing judo tournaments, so she\u2019s real comfortable with sticking that jab and grabbing them and taking them down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cI was like, \u2018OK, this girl is going to be something special. I started working with her. For like six months we didn\u2019t do any striking. Just footwork, distance, understanding. I didn\u2019t give her hard sparring, nothing like that. Just she moved around with me. I have control of my punches and I\u2019m not trying to swing your head off and I\u2019m technical and I could teach her. More like drilling-sparring, like amateur style, than actual just banging like the professional style. I taught her a lot of amateur boxing. Once I got that done, I know she has a good jab. She has a good straight punch, a right straight. She knows how to move her head. She knows how to defend herself, block punches, move in and out, use her legs, and then I started just gradually raising her sparring. For the last camp we had great sparring partners. That\u2019s how you learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cRonda\u2019s jab is looking really, really good. All the Olympians I have in my gym, and world medalists, they just sit down and go, \u2018Wow, dude. She has a great jab.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cNow everybody knows she can strike,\u201d Tarverdyan said. \u201cI don\u2019t care if people know or don\u2019t know, to be honest with you. I know she can strike. She\u2019s a great striker. She\u2019s not going to have a problem with any of these fights we have in front of us.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much has been discussed when it comes to the striking prowess of Strikeforce female bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
