Laura Sanko desires to get back to fighting

Even though the woman in spotlight has retired from professional fighting, she desires to get back into the cage one more time. Sanko believes she could have had a solid career in the UFC.

“Paige VanZant and I debuted on the same card, same night, we both got wins, both got finishes. I know that if there had been an atomweight division in the UFC. I know that I could have gone on to have a solid career in the UFC.” Sanko said to The Volume Sports.

“That’s the irritating part because my growth as a fighter really happened after I quit competing actively. So there’s definitely a part of me that wants to get back to some form of competition just to prove to people I’m about that life.” Sanko concluded.

Sanko had an impressive amateur fighting career of 4-1 under her name. Later, she made her professional debut in a famous female MMA venture, Invicta FC, in 2013. She only fought once in her professional MMA career and won the fight via a finish.
