Laura Sanko talks about the difficulties in the world of MMA broadcasting as a woman

Laura Sanko made her commentary debut at UFC Vegas 68 earlier this year. However, it wasn't easy for her to get the role. The 40-year-old sat down for a chat with Din Thomas and RJ Clifford for MMA on SiriusXM, where she spoke about the difficulties of being a woman in broadcasting.

Sanko added that she wanted to show that despite the perception of MMA as a 'macho' sport, women can also make it in the broadcasting world:

"It's a tough thing to be in broadcasting in any sports industry let alone one that is so incredibly macho like MMA... But now I wanna show like that not only can you be in those lanes, like you can be in this other lane too if you have the experience and the knowlege and the broadcast ability necessary to do it."
