Laura Sanko is not an unfamiliar name to combat sports aficionados, particularly the professional mixed martial arts fan base. From being an active fighter in the Invicta FC, where she competed in the women’s atomweight division, to a prominent female commentator, she has created a lot of buzz in her favor. Laura Sanko was born on December 7, 1982, in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and was brought up in Kansas City. Sanko was drawn towards combat sports as a child and took an interest in karate. From karate training to venturing into an entrepreneurial spirit, Sanko started her own business related to grass-fed beef.

Laura Sanko started her career at Invicta FC as a commentator, where she excelled as a combat sports reporter. In January 2023, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced that she would be making her debut at the ringside at UFC Vegas 68. This proved a developmental projection in her professional trajectory as she became the second color commentator trailed just by the kickboxing champion Kathy Long, who has the distinction of calling the first UFC event in 1993, thirty years ago.
