Public challenge to Ronda Rousey
On July 31, 2015, Ronda Rousey's trainer, Edmond Tarverdyan, expressed the belief that his fighter "can win the boxing world title" while discussing a potential fight with Cris Cyborg. After noting that "Ronda spars with boxing world champions that punch way harder than Cyborg", Tarverdyan claimed that she "has never lost a round in the gym. A round. With boxing world champions".
Layla McCarter is the current Big Knockout Boxing female champion and immediately challenged Ronda Rousey to boxing match.
Alongside Amanda Serrano went on to criticize Rousey's stand-up fighting technique stating in the Guardian "She's very good at what she does, but she needs to stay in her lane because boxing takes a lot of experience to reach the top level.
"She better just stay in her lane because she's going to get hurt.".
