Laura Sanko: I would’ve had a ‘solid’ UFC run if it had an atomweight division

To most MMA fans, Laura Sanko is known as one of the best UFC correspondents today. And in January, she made her debut on the analyst desk for UFC Vegas 46 alongside former title contender Anthony Smith.

Sanko’s eye for detail in fights comes from her own background as a mixed martial arts competitor. Bearing the nickname “Fancy,” Sanko has a 3-1 record as an amateur fighter and 1-0 as a professional under Invicta FC.

Eventually, family life hindered Sanko from continuing her fighting career, but the path she chose did pan out well for her.
