    Laura Sanko is the best. She’s multitalented and also takes so much time to respond to fans. She works so hard, yet still answers so many comments on a daily basis. She deserves this. Bravo Laura! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘ŠπŸ»
  • @joshblack1985
    Glad she has a strong and legit background in MMA and the intangibles of knowing what it feels like to make that walk to the cage. Irreplaceable experience that has no substitute.
  • @Victor-fg1ky
    She's a really good commentator. What caught my attention about her was her attention to details especially when it comes to grappling. I remember her discussion table with Daniel Cormier where she was explaining a submission technique. She removed her high heels to explain the concept 😎😊😊 I can tell she and Michael Bisping really understand each other working on the job because they communicate so well when commentating together.
  • @randomz8065
    What a smart, beautiful and interesting woman she is, truly deserving of everything she has gotten and more. An integral part of the UFC experience. Bless you Sanko.
  • @Winamp_
    She is honestly legit good at her job, without even considering the looks she is sincerely very educated and has alot of knowledge about MMA and so on. And even without the look she'd do a great job, very well spoken whenever she is on.
  • @KannyNguyen
    I think one thing that makes her stand out is that she really puts her personality into her work and also keeps it casual, not too stiff not too formal and boring like every reporter/commentator. She might not seemed to be professional like Megan but she’s fun to watch because she seems closer to fans.
  • The shots of Laura Sanko and James Krause rolling and grunting and heavily breathing aged like wine
  • @rugoshath
    What I love about Sanko is that she actually knows who's who and what's going on at all times, the fact that she looks like a million bucks as well is just a bonus.
  • @bank_sinatra
    Laura is a great pickup for the UFC, hope she stays around for a long time
  • @frba1856
    This is a real badass woman, physically strong, beautiful, talented, well spoken, and confident. Not the annoying hollywood actress/ artist trying to preach agendas.
  • @Deltaaaaaaaaa
    Laura MF Sanko. What a badass. Seriously, the sport is much better with her in it. What she’s done is awesome, and I am incredibly happy to have her in my favorite sport. I can’t wait to hear her commentate on her first PPV
  • @abd-bm3cd
    She really did work her way up & still keeps getting better. Love her conviction & humbleness when she states her points. Such a pleasant way of putting arguments forward yet always invites room for healthy debate.
  • So happy for her! I have met her a couple of times and she is such a sweet heart! Congrats to all of your success!
  • @jf1341
    This is amazing. Didn't know Laura was this accomplished. UFC literally attracts the best talent πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ’―
  • @bmorrison0070
    Laura always brings such a great sense of energy to her interviews and everything she does. Love that we were treated to her whole story by this segment!!!! I remember Dana saying "be careful what you ask for" when Laura was asking to do more.
  • @JohnnyJitsu11
    Much respect to this woman for thriving and proving herself! Strong work Sanko!!
  • This video just reminds me why we love Laura Sanko. Hope this woman finds nothing but success.
  • @davidkim2016
    She accomplished pretty much everything via discipline and hard work -- i'm inspired by the heart and dedication
  • @re_i_gn
    To be one of the very few to do it all (fighting, commentary, interviews, etc.) in a sport, especially in one of the most brutal combat sports imaginable, is such a massive achievement for anyone. PLUS she did it in the world's biggest MMA promotion!!
  • @XBLonTwitch
    7:15 You can just see the happiness on her face. Congrats, Laura! Love seeing you covering the sport I love to watch!
