Laura Sanko

Laura Marcusse-Sanko[1] (born December 7, 1982) is an American mixed martial arts commentator who currently works for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

[5][6] Sanko adopted the nickname "Fancy" during her brief fighting career after an acquaintance told her she was too fancy to actually fight, rather than just train in mixed martial arts.

[7] In 2021, Sanko became the first female commentator to work on a broadcast in the Zuffa or Endeavor era of the UFC when she provided color commentary for the Dana White's Contender Series season 5.

[8] In January 2023, Sanko became the first female color commentator to appear on a UFC broadcast since Kathy Long at UFC 1 in 1993 when she joined the broadcast booth at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs.

[9] This made her the first female color commentator in the modern UFC era to call an event from the booth.
