Edmond Tarverdyan knows a thing or two about striking. And Ronda Rousey’s head coach would love to be able to say that Gegard Mousasi and Lyoto Machida are fighting on a level playing field on Saturday night. But he has to admit Machida has the edge. Mousasi (34-3-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a former Strikeforce and DREAM champion, has not fought since his UFC debut at UFC on FUEL TV 9 in April 2013. Since that win over Ilir Latifi, Mousasi has had knee surgery and has dropped back to middleweight, where he’ll fight Machida (20-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC)
