Rocking a figure-hugging all-white outfit, the 42-year-old ex-fighter turned heads ringside, with viewers flooding social media to heap praise on her return.
One fan declared: “Laura Sanko > Joe Rogan on the UFC commentary by far.”
Another chimed in: “Laura Sanko killing it once again tonight.”
While a third simply wrote: “A Laura Sanko card? Hell yeah!”
Sanko, who made history in 2021 as the first female commentator in the modern UFC era, has been on a meteoric rise.
She made her Pay-Per-View debut at UFC 293 in Sydney last September and hasn’t looked back.
Back on the mic alongside Daniel Cormier this weekend, she showed she’s not just a pretty face but that didn’t stop fans from swooning.
Another follower gushed: “Laura Sanko, what do you want? You can have it.”
Then another crowned her: “The queen of MMA.”
It’s not the first time she’s stopped fans in their tracks.
Earlier this month, the former strawweight shared a sizzling 4th of July bikini snap on Instagram, racking up over 20,000 likes and a storm of fiery emojis.

But make no mistake, Sanko’s more than just social media gold. She recently bagged her black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, revealing it capped off a gruelling 19-year journey to martial arts mastery.
Despite hanging up the gloves over a decade ago, she’s still fighting fit.
Her pro MMA career might have been brief, a single fight at Invicta FC 4 in Kansas City but she went out on top, submitting Cassie Robb in round two.
Now, with fans backing her and the UFC spotlight shining bright, it’s clear Laura Sanko is smashing it inside and outside the cage.
