Lauren Sanko is a breath of fresh air

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.

You don't think a sports commentators voice is hugely important? Its critical to the experience. All the great ones usually have a great voice and manner of speaking. A karen sounding voice does not cut it.
 
Let her keep at it. She’s doing ok. I think Bisping and Felder are good color commentators. DC and Rogan aren’t bad, they just get a lil carried away sometimes.
 
Good for you, sir, but you're factually wrong here if you're disagreeing because I didn't say anything subjective. I do like you but do take mind here that you're responding to me here when all I've contributed is merely countering the claim of known moron/troll Fact Checker when he said she  doesn't say things that she does. This was an in-argument surrounding a single obviously incorrect claim, nothing more.

Whether that makes her good or bad or whether she does it enough to justify the praise she gets is nowhere in my post. The fact that you projected that in there should perhaps be a bit revealing of maybe some inherent bias. First step is recognizing it, friend. All due respect

I merely said she was as good as people say sir.
No worries
 
I think breath of fresh air is a perfect way to put it. She is different. Mostly from being female, yeah, but also a female that has accomplished a level of BJJ that 99% of people who train never make it to, and as a female competitor/combat sport participant, far less than 1% of the females I've trained sign up to do a cage fight, god forbid a professional cage fight. So she has a lot of unique attributes and compared to just some interviewer who hasn't/doesn't train at all I think she has a leg up. DC and Rogan, etc. will all be speaking a shared language with her as opposed to, say, Goldberg, who as far as I know didn't train at all and you could tell. Not that he needed to, but I think it certainly helps when you know what D1 wrestlers, BJJ black belts, etc. are talking about in real time. Anik gets a pass because he's been so passionate about the sport for so long he keeps up just fine.

As far as her physical looks, not that they're all that important by themselves, but as an overall package they certainly help. I'm not going to go tit for tat with you about how attractive she is, mostly because it's a rabbit hole. If I find her a 10 and you a 5, that says more about our personal preferences than her.

She's also very green. I think as a starting point she's exceeded expectations. When you get guys in the booth of any sport, former athletes or not, they tend to suck ass initially and find a groove within a year or two. It doesn't help that in other sports your tag team partner is pretty consistent and in this league one week you have a bloviating drunk like DC or a pothead coming down off shrooms Rogan and the next week you have Anik.

Her voice is a bit shrill, not sure if there's much you can do about that.

tl;dr she is doing ok and breast of fresh air is the perfect way to see it imho

You could have a man with one leg and it would be "different" lol

Not saying that the voice doesn't matter, just that I haven't really noticed hers. I do find Rogan's gargley voice to be a problem though.
 
Whether you like the sound of her voice is subjective but LOL at people who complain about the sound of Laura's voice but are ok with Rogan's high-pitched screaming. I've seen and heard her enough times to say she's an asset to the cage side announcers' table.
 
I always thought her breath smelled like James Krause's taint
