How did Laura Sanko dislocate her toe?
In a bizarre game of 'beach volleyball' on the UFC 299 weigh-in show, Laura Sanko would dislocate her toe on the broadcast. Before the rest of the crew could digest the situation, the reporter had already popped her joint back into place.
Upon suffering the injury from chasing after the volleyball, Sanko self-diagnosed it as 'turf toe' despite the game being played on a hard floor.
Sanko was joined on the UFC 299 weigh-in show by Dan Hellie, Daniel Cormier, Cory Sandhagen, and Steve-O, with Jon Anik also making a remote appearance.
