Was a fighter, but became the first-ever UFC commentator: Laura Sankoh

Laura Sankoh didn't spend much time as a fighter, but she did it almost flawlessly. Soon her son was born, and Laura suspended her not-very-long career. Bonus photo at the end.

1. She still spent a lot of time in the hall, and one day one of the employees of Invicta FC, Corey Smith, approached her. He invited the girl to try herself as a correspondent at tournaments.

2. Her candidacy was endorsed by league founder Shannon Knapp, and Sankoh began to reappear in the Invicta cage and beyond. But she didn't have to hit anyone.

3. In general, Sanko's career in the new role is developing much more successfully than in MMA. As a correspondent, she fulfilled the dream of more or less any fighter - she got into the UFC. At first, Laura worked at the TUF show, and after it closed, she moved to Dana White's Contender Series, in which the UFC president personally reviews potential newcomers, handing out contracts to the most spectacular of them.

4. Back in 2020, Laura said in an interview that she dreams of becoming the first female commentator in UFC history. Her fantasy became reality.

5. The charming girl forever inscribed her name in the history of the strongest promotion in the world, since on February 5, a unique event took place at the UFC Fight Night 218 tournament - for the first time in the UFC, a woman commented on the fights of brutal guys.

6. I think many will agree that choosing the path of a journalist was the right decision, especially for such a sweet girl like Laura Sankoh.
