[slyslickNwicked]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMR_-8RBWvQ (starts at 54:52) he recalls what happens after the weigh ins.

John Wayne Parr - "We wen to weigh ins(referring to the Ronda/Cat fight in L.A), so Edmond and Ronda we're walking down the drive way to come to the hotel. I had my iphone, i was like should i ask for a photo. Aw, fuck it why not and then i shimmied over, i said excuse me Ronda do u mind if i get a picture?"

"And she goes sorry, no photos till after the fight. And then Edmond looked at me and then he stopped her, and said Hey This is the guy, This is the guy. Edmond says u gotta get a photo with him, so then we took a photo. She was amazing, she's such a cool person and i was so scared, i was so star strucked and she was just normal".

"And then afterwards, i come down, i get a couple of drinks at the hotel bar and Edmond was there, he made his way over to come a chat with me. We just talked like we where long lost friends, he was such a gentlemen as well, he was such a nice guy."

Interesting, i still dont think Edmond is a great coach but sound like an ok dude i guess.

I'm not sure if it makes Ronda looks good or bad.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Edmond was star struck

So Rousey acts like a dick to ordinary fans? And is too dumb to recognize highly decorated fighters? But once she gets informed who you are, she is super cool...gotcha.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Zuffa paid him to run into Ronda.

 

[Reign009]

She changed her tune once she realized who he was.

I don't think it's diva-ish behavior, i think she's just in the zone as it's approaching fight time.

Rondas sister approves, kind of..

 

[Toco]

didnt expect that

ok, nice that edmond was a nice person

 

[Da Speeit]

Edmund seems misunderstood. I really want to hate him but I like him

If Edmond was telling Ronda to take photos with ordinary fans then I would say he is a nice person.

But if he is just telling her, "hey, this guy isn't a nobody like the rest of those scum, take a photo with him", that doesn't make him a nice person, just more knowledgeable about fighters than Roundey.

How does that make someone dumb?

hahaha

ronda probably didnt want to be bothered but when she met someone, like, unique, edmond made sure she met him because it would be something special for her. you cant pass opportunities like that

i know poeple shit on edmond, me too, but this time i cant see how he behaved in a wrong way

What if it was Dana White? Rogan? Kobe Bryant? The President? Why do people continue to prop up this fantasy expectation that everyone has to be treated the same? No one lives this way.

JWP, getting the respect he deserves.

[Oshime2]

This story is kinda funny after the story about Rousey's sister and Justin Bieber.

Yeah, the UFC section is littered with threads about the most famous UFC fighter, so weird
