"I haven't the foggiest idea how a fighter's loss gets blamed on a coach and boy, it sure feels like you're trying to take the spotlight off what happened. The coach wasn't in the ring and the coach never is. If you want to blame coach Edmond then ask yourself this one thing and then go ahead, roast him if you qualify." "Here's the qualifier you need to ask yourself - when she was on top, when coach Edmond's fighter was the world champion selling out arenas, marquee, main eventing shows, did you compliment him. If the answer is yes, if you did credit him and his coaching and his strategies, when his athlete was on top, have at roasting him now."He added that it wasn't that long ago when Rousey was considered to be invincible, when she was dusting everyone the UFC put in front of her with that trusty armbar. If you want to lay into Edmond, Sonnen believes you must first have acknowledged his contribution towards her being such a dominant champion for so long.
"My feeling is that's going to shut most people up. If you're not going to compliment people on the good, then I'm hearing just the opposite that, 'she was already good. She was already on top. She was already a medalist in the Olympic games.' All true statements, but you didn't give him his due when she was finishing people in 20 seconds." "If you didn't give him his due for the good stuff, he can't be on the blame for the bad. You take the good with the bad."This almost definitely won't be a popular opinion, but the possibility of being labeled controversial has never stopped the American Gangster from speaking his mind in the past. Why start now?
