Former WEC champion and UFC fighter Jamie Varner remains adamant that UFC commentator Laura Sanko knows nothing about MMA and should be replaced by a woman who has actually competed in the promotion. are doing. This is an opinion that half of her
“Jamie Varner, you and I actually fought on the same card at Titan FC in 2011,” she said. he tweeted. “We warmed up next to each other in the basement of the KCK Memorial Building. My best friend braided your hair because you couldn't find anyone to do it for you. I remember thinking how cool it was to be on the card. I had been following your career in WEC and I was shocked by the little star to be honest.”
“It's okay if you don't like my commentary,” she continued. “But with all due respect, I've been competing and training in this since 2006. I'm a brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu and I can't compare my career to yours, but I really I've fought. And if the UFC had a 105 division, I would have fought longer.”
Sanko will not only compete for Titan FC, but will also serve as a color commentator for the promotion. Her 10+ years of microphone experience has helped her climb the UFC commentary ladder, from Contender Series and Road to UFC shows to UFC Fight Night and International Pay-Per-View. It was. But no matter how experienced a woman is, there will always be someone who says she is not worthy of the position.
In this case, it's Jamie Varner, who continues to dig holes on social media.
“I remember that night, and I thank your friend for doing what she did,” he replied to Sanko. “But after watching the game again, do you think you're doing a good job? Don't you feel like you're forcing too much? It feels like you're overcompensating.” There are fighters who agree with me.”
“If you think she knows anything, you're high,” he argued with another X user. “She was the worst woman I ever heard in her life. Holly Holm should have that job.”
When another Sanko fan declared, “She's more famous than you in the MMA community,” Varner brought out an action figure from Jax's UFC collection.
“Haha, okay, how many belts and action figures does she have?” he asked. “How many Fight of the Night bonuses does she have? Lastly, how many times has she won Fight of the Year? I'll wait until you count it up lol.”
Those who were around in 2010 may remember Varner's career high note, but that was a long time ago. These days, UFC fans see Laura Sanko during every event, weigh-in show, and broadcast. She has literally hundreds of hours of mic work for the UFC, and she would have been exposed multiple times by now to her fan base if she didn't know anything like Varner suggests.
Everyone agrees to call Laura Sanko an “annoying hard worker.” But is she an unqualified ignorant person? Factually wrong, sir.
