Fans Hurl Suggestions at Laura Sanko After Losing ‘Intimacy’ Battle Against a Stranger on the Plane: “You Know How to Use Your Elbows”

If you’ve ever taken a flight, it’s possible that you’ve encountered a scenario where you physically compete with a stranger for a larger chunk of the armrest. Apparently, fan favorite Laura Sanko experienced a similar circumstance while flying.

The UFC on ESPN analyst detailed the incident on her official Twitter account. Sanko said in the tweet that a stranger had taken up the majority of her armrest area when she was on a flight. She continued, adding that she had skin-to-skin contact with the stranger, despite her best efforts to escape the uncomfortable scenario.

“In the battle of my life over space on a plane right now. This guy’s arm is 4 inches past the armrest. We are skin on skin. It’s clammy. Have attempted to meld into and take the shape of the fuselage to my right to avoid further intimacy, but my efforts are in vain. We are one,” Sanko wrote. 

Following her tweet, many fans came in the support of the voice of Dana White’s Contender Series. Some even shared hilariously weird suggestions about the situation.

Here are some of the tweets from the fans:

One fan made a comparison between Sanko’s situation and the earlier Mike Tyson plane incident.

Another fan told Sanko to use her fighting skills to handle the situation.
