Laura Sanko explains why Shavkat Rakhmonov gives her chills

Laura Sanko has often expressed how big of a fan she is of Shavkat Rakhmonov, and she created a viral moment when she commented that the Kazakh fighter "gives her chills.’"

Ahead of UFC 310, Sanko explained the reason why she is such a big fan of him during an episode of One On One, noting his fighting style and how he carries himself outside of the octagon:

"That's why I wanted to make a big deal out of him and be very big in how I spoke about him... And when I said, 'He gave me chills', he does give me chills... There's something very primal about the way that he fights... The way that he operates, and then when you couple that with the fact he doesn't talk and he doesn't speak a lick of English, there's a mystery there and it's just really cool."
