Laura Sanko needs to go.

Still better than Joe

Still better than Joe

A lot better

 

[Ares Black]

I wish Waterson would get more comfortable on the mic
Maybe in time

I think she will. Give her some more experience and she'll relax and be more natural.

it always happens when a semi-attractive woman is held to a higher aesthetic pedestal than what they are in a male dominated scape simply bc many females do not exist therefore their aesthetic is elevated beyond what its worth.

in a vacuum sanko is a past her sell date woman with reasonable looks nothing beyond who always has a group of pundits around her always trying their hand at their inside jokes with her similar to Kate Abdo in BT Sports and all of them fall flat.

don't even mention Sanko and her eye-roll inducing thing for Shavkat.

that being said she is fine as a pundit but no does not offer anything a sherdogger cannot themselves but is rightfully there, for marketable personas bring the buck and the eyeballs.

 

[Poatan Power]

I had the exact opposite analysis. She's articulate and pleasant. A stark contrast from DC's idiocy.

Laura, Bisping and Anik are all good to me, with Laura bringing up the rear.

I like Sanko. I can't speak for last night specifically because I had to watch on mute at work. Many times I've heard her say something very insightful and spot on which enhanced the viewing experience. She does a nice job of relaying fighting technique and strategy to the viewing audience imo. Glad to have her.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

She knows more about MMA than you do

I know more about fighting.

And why are you comparing her to a loser like me?

Raise the bar big guy.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Pena is mediocre, and an active fighter.

That's arguable

 

[MerAndre DvalishFili]

Sanko is good.

IMO she’s consistently the best prepared and seems to do the most research of all of the color commentators.

I do think she’s a little tightly wound on the mic and hasn’t come into her own yet, but she’ll catch her rhythm eventually. Even at this point, I’ll take her over most of the other guys in the booth.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I like Sanko..

Been listening to her on commentary since her Invicta days.

I really did like her back then.

And I enjoyed what she did on DWCS. The post-fight interviews. And her work on commentary over there.

One thing is kind of getting on my nerves.

I believe she knows her shit. And she clearly does 10 times the research that DC does. But she sounds a little like a groupie, sometimes..so to speak.

“Oh, that’s a real man”, “He fights like a real man”..

Her tone, and inflection sounds like she’s getting off, at tmes. With her thoughts on Shavkat, and a few others.

I’ll assume you understand what I mean here.

I can do without that part. That really is about my only complaint with Sanko, though.

She is exponentially better/easier to listen to than Rogan, or DC.

I’m fine with her.

Pena is mediocre, and an active fighter.

Wait so Juliana Pena " being an active fighter" disqualifies her from doing commentary but Laura Sanko being an MMA hobbyist who accomplished nothing in the sport doesn't?

 

[Lee Danger]

tbh she's better than DC and Anik.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Almost everything you said here was wrong/dumb. Care to try again?

-He said she IS an active fighter.

-She's not disqualified for being an active fighter, but that career definitely prevents her from doing more commentary

-Accomplishments have nothing to do with commentating

-Even if they did, he already said that she was medicore as a commentator.

All that info was right there before you posted and you missed all of it

 

[Fox by the Sea]

eh, woman holds up half the sky and all. she's not AWFUL. let her be, i'd rather listen to her talk generic shit than listen to DC.

 

[Ares Black]

I never said it disqualifies her.

It certainly makes her a less suitable candidate than Sanko, who does the job full time and does it well.

By all means, let's give Pena a shot. But replacing Sanko is asinine.

Your "argument" is idiotic. Sanko knows more about MMA than you do, and she does a good job.

Get bent.

Get bent.

Your such a creep, simping for any blonde woman who appears on a UFC telecast, theres no way you actually leave your home.

I remember when you got upset because I correctly said Hailee Cowan was the least skilled fighter signed to the UFC.

I am out enjoying the sunshine as we speak.

That never happened. Much like most things you say, it exists entirely in your own head.

 

[93confirmed]

The UFC converted a ring girl into their #1 journalist.

Yeah, she's also nice on the eyes. This pic needs its own shoop thread.

oh really?

I've seen several of her regional fights and I completely disagree. Cowan is a plus athlete. Perez is terrible.

For reference since the extremely creepy @Ares Black made this post Perez has gone 5-0 and Cowan has went 0-2.
