Amanda Nunes has blamed Edmond Tarverdyan for ruining Ronda Rousey’s careerGetty Images
And Nunes is adamant it is because Tarverdyan has made Rousey believe she is a boxer – when really she is not.
Nunes told Fox Sports: “She thinks she’s a boxer. He like put this in her head and make the girl believe in that.
“I don’t know why he did that. She has great judo and then she can go more forward in this division.
“But he put some crazy thing about her boxing and then her career started like going down.
“That’s why I went in there and I’m the real striker here. This is the only thing I want to look at him to say.”
Nunes made a beeline for Tarverdyan after last Friday’s showdown with Rousey.
