Lauren Sanko is a breath of fresh air

Yes, “Laura” is..

She’s better than Rogan, and DC combined.

She said something during the card.

“I had to brush up on my Judo terminology”. She said something like this.

DC can’t be bothered to even watch film. She is a professional, imo. And she’s still pretty new to commentating on UFC cards. But her experience with Invicta, and DWCS is paying off. And she’s doing well, imo.

Edit. Added that other paragraph

Maybe I'm misremembering but I thought Felder said he had to brush up because Sanko already knows the Judo terminology.
 
I 100% disagree she pretends to have knowledge that if you knew how to strike would make you cringe
 
She offers zero technical insight because she has zero significant MMA experience.


Ofc the simps and casuals who don’t train like her because they could care less about proper technical analysis. Same dudes with thirst trap avatars on an MMA forum lol.

Not true.

She has called sub setups/attempts before DC on more than one occasion...in one instance, he didn't even know what was happening until she called it.

She also trains...so you are 0 for 2 with your bullshit criticism lol

Exactly. DC and Bisping have their flaws but they can provide insights that non-fighters like Sanko and Rogan never could.

His username is meant ironically
 
I mean, its such a breath of fresh air to hear the commentary actually talk about the fights and not themselves. Her and Felder have been great tonight.

Absolutely. And in general I find women commentators actually talk about the sport more and not what they did in it which I way prefer. Lot of women commentators in cricket now and I prefer them to the old farts who talk about yesteryear etc
 
Not that I am some huge fan, but I notice that every single poster complaining about her so far is making some really moronic arguments.

- voice too high-pitched
- commentary too ‘touchy-feely’
- she is not a real mma fighter so she can’t be good (yet no issues with Rogan, Gooden or Anik - also LOL at it not being good enough for some neckbeard who has never set foot in a ring, cage)

Strong red pill dork flavor here.
Sounds blue pill
 
They both have their merits. Sanko does her homework and actually does background research/tape on the fighters. DC doesn't do much research but he will interview them and touch their knee a little. Guys will open up to him. The odd man for me is that Fitzgerald guy. He really doesn't add anything.
 
Be real -- No fight fan who is worth a crap truly gives a crap about "homework" nerds calling fights.

We want to watch a fight and see which human physically dominates and harms the other human.

But I do understand boob watchers getting a bonus by having Laura Spanko spoon feed them her insights whilst they enjoy violent sports entertainment.
 
People praising her for being so great (she isn't bad IMO, nothing special) is just a reflection how terrible most MMA commentary is.
 
Do little leaguers get to comment on MLB?

She's there bc of her tits and that's all.
This has to be the dumbest comment in the thread. I'd bet good money the vast majority of baseball commentators played little league ball compared to how many played MLB before commentating.
 
Maybe I'm not meant to say it but I'm not a fan of women commentators in mens sports. If she wants to commentate the female MMA that's fine. Same thing has happened with basically every sport now they have to shoe-horn some female commentators into the mens sports for some reason. Call me old fashioned but I'm not into it.

Eh, I think it really depends on the cred of the female announcer.

It's not required that the commentators have professional level experience in the sport they are covering. As long as they are knowledgeable and have charisma it will work.

I think it should be based on talent and not on their gender.
