Does Laura Sanko talk to much?

[spinup]

Hard to understand the criticism outside the "she's a woman and that feels wrong".

Like that Megan Olivi,I mean really?? ugh

Women in the backstage amirite?

Megan just reads off of teleprompters, and she doesn't even do that well.

Is it just me, or does Laura Sanko talk to much during fights? It seems like during the action, she' ll start analyzing a move, and she'll still be gabbing well after that move has finished. Also, what makes her such an expert anyhow? According to Sherdog records, she has ONE pro fight? I have nothing against her, but since she is the pretty one on the announcing team, why not take advantage of her looks, and have her do the interviews with the winners after the fight, and leave the analyzing to the real fighters?

She’s actually super annoying. I hate when she talks about tactics and positioning like she is some seasoned fighter, like quiet you fought one time. If you looked like Roxanne you wouldn’t be near the desk. Mad annoying but obligatory wood!

She has been training martial arts for literally decades and she knows a lot more about MMA than you.

It does!

Only to insecure manbabies.

I mean that isnt what the question is. The question is does she talk too much?

Maura Ranallo talks too much, and hes a dude.

Where is the thread about Ranallo? There's literally never been a thread asking if a professional commentator talks too much before. Odd to target a woman with the first one.

So long as the UFC has commentators like Rogan, anyone with any degree of pro mma experience is automatically qualified (in addition to being more qualified than Rogan).

I probably made it in 2005

But there isn't anything to be insecure about

 

[Neck&Neck]

She’s still learning, I think she will get better
And chicks with nice racks always get some leeway

Lol no

Then you should ask yourself why you are so insecure.

He's busy pretending that this isn't about her gender and that he isn't an insecure manbaby. I suppose that's his right.

I'm not. That's your wish.

 

[HHJ]

Lol no

I win.

Yeah you are, but that's ok. You have lots of company.

Could you provide a specific example of an event or concept that she clarified or rendered understandable for you that had previously eluded the nonprofessional comprehension you've developed through almost 14 years of membership and almost 33K messages posted in an MMA forum?

Tbh I was being half serious with that comment. I just like how she talks technically about certain things during the fight.

Nothing specifically, just the general wide range of knowledge she has and I believe she's also doing almost extra being a woman to be more educated and informed of what's going on during the fight.

Trying to help people understand what's going on, especially who are new to MMA and still trying to comprehend the nuances/subtleties of the sport.

 

[HHJ]

Yeah you are, but that's ok. You have lots of company.

Did you just assume my mood??

Mods!

Every commentator pretty much has threads critical of them but oh shit not this time!!! Hahaha
