LAS VEGAS, NV — UFC commentator Laura Sanko continues to make waves as a commentator on APEX and Fight Night cards, but will we see her in the commentary booth on Pay-Per-View anytime soon?
“I don’t have any official announcements yet, but I think there is a solid opportunity,” Sanko told Cageside Press at UFC X on Friday.
Could we be looking at Sanko in Salt Lake City alongside Joe Rogan and John Anik?
“I won’t be in Salt Lake City,” she said, “I have a family vacation, but maybe soon after that.”
The teaser is present as Sanko fans await the official announcement of the first PPV commentary party.
A popular UFC staple at the official weigh-ins has been the welterweight show featuring Laura Sanko and Daniel Cormier. During the show, panelists compete in challenges with a real belt on the line.
The rivalry heated up in this show between DC and Sanko is something that carries over into his own life.
“I think I’m the most dominant champion. I’m going to let people decide popularity, but I think if we were to go back and count the number of times I’ve won that belt, I’d be way ahead of everyone on the show, especially my archenemy DC.”
On a more serious note, Sanko was part of the Kansas City-based Glory MMA gym led by James Krause. The gym is no longer under his management and has a new name, but the controversy involving Krause and the gym is not lost on fans and fighters alike.
“I don’t really have a pass because a lot of it doesn’t really involve me, so I’m not going to comment on that, but there are a lot of good people in Kansas City. There are still a lot of good people in Kansas City,” she said.
“I think there are always so many sides to every story and the people I know, they’re all good people.”
