In the world of UFC commentary, there’s a new face on the horizon, and her name is Laura Sanko. She made her debut at UFC Fight Night 218, becoming the first female commentator in the modern era of the UFC. Now, she’s gearing up for a historic moment as she steps in to replace the legendary Joe Rogan at UFC 293.
However, it seems like there’s one particular UFC veteran who’s not so stoked about this idea. Who is it? Well, we’re talking about former UFC Heavyweight champ and iconic commentator Daniel Cormier, aka. ‘DC.’ In a now-viral clip from one of the interactions between the duo, ‘DC’ takes his trolling of Sanko to another level. So, what’s this clip about?

In the clip from an X tweet, Laura Sanko was spotted trying to commentate on an MMA fight. But the narrative took an amusing turn when ‘DC’s voice was heard in the background. He asked Sanko to try commentating on what looks like a prerecorded MMA fight, saying: “Commentate these two big boys!”

Sanko’s attempt at commentating led to a humorous moment as she stumbled over her words, trying to keep up with the fast-paced action. Almost instantly, ‘DC’ chimed in with playful banter, telling her, “Laura, you’re losing!” Sanko playfully responded, “Stop talking!”
However, Cormier didn’t miss the chance to add a witty remark, telling Sanko, “Laura, let me tell you something, you commentate like this, you’ll be calling this sh*t next.”
A trailblazing path to UFC 293 for Laura Sanko
Before Laura Sanko stepped into the commentary booth, Kathy Long made history as the first female commentator in the UFC. However, Laura Sanko’s arrival marked a significant moment in the modern UFC era.
Now, UFC fans are in for a unique experience as they gear up for UFC 293, but there’s one notable absence they’ll have to get used to – the familiar voice of commentator Joe Rogan won’t be part of the event this time. Instead, the UFC has chosen Laura Sanko, a rising star and fan favorite, to take up the commentating duties.
