Laura Sanko on being the first female commentator in modern UFC history

On Feb. 4, 2023, Laura Sanko made her UFC commentary debut at UFC Vegas 68, becoming the second-ever female to hold that distinction and the first to do it in the modern era of the world's premier MMA promotion.

During a media interaction at the Fighters Only World MMA Awards, she revealed what the unique achievement meant for her, saying:

"It's hard to encapsulate what that means, honestly. To became the first female commentator since UFC 1, it was a goal of mine for a very, very long and so it's almost surreal to stand here, having achieved it, to be honest, because last year, when I was walking on this red carpet it was not a reality and now it is. So it is kind of interesting to be here, full circle... It feels good to represent the woman who loves this sport so much."
