Laura Sanko Forced to Relocate Toe on Live TV After Getting Injured on UFC 299 Show Alongside Daniel Cormier

Laura Sanko has a confrontational way of dealing with dislocation. That’s right, the UFC commentator and announcer, Sanko claimed to have dislocated her toe live during the UFC 299 weigh-ins. However, she did not wait for medical attention to fix things.

Instead, Sanko took things in her own hands and popped her toe right back in on air at the same time. Perhaps the moment didn’t catch the attention of many initially. But it sure left a mark after Sanko took to her X handle to address the situation.

Laura Sanko took to her X handle to post a picture of her foot and it looked mangled. It was almost as if someone had stomped on it repeatedly. Her toes had swollen up and it looked like a grievous injury that could have stopped a fight if she were a part of one.

“If anyone who watched the UFC Weigh In show yesterday was wondering if I ACTUALLY dislocated my toe and reset it live on TV only to finish the game and win…yes yes I did #ufc299,d” she wrote in the caption of the X post that took many by storm. What do you think about the post? For many fans, it was a rather unexpected picture on their feed.

Sanko was one of the key highlights at the UFC 299 presser with her usual wit and camaraderie with her fellow commentators. She is one of the promotion’s heartthrobs and has quickly risen to fame after joining to commentary team.

In the meantime, veteran of the team, Joe Rogan has rapidly found criticism over the past few months. Rogan may have upset Mackenzie Dern in the past with some of his comments while she fought Jessica Andrade and then, fans also brought up yet another clip.

Are fans too harsh on Joe Rogan?

For many, Rogan is a UFC mainstay and an all-time favorite. However, his comments during Dern’s matchup against Andrade had the fighter in tears. “When I heard the commentary like Joe Rogan, D.C., and stuff, that for me, that was — I felt embarrassed — I felt bad, I was like, ‘Dang, how did I just fight Angela Hill in May with like the best performance and now they’re saying I look like a fricken high school girl brawling and stuff like that?”

Dern felt embarrassed but also admitted that they also made positive comments about her fight and it just happened to be a tough pill that she had to swallow. On the other hand, fans also pointed out the way Rogan favored Ryan Hall during his Ilia Topuria bout even though Hall was clearly in bad positions from time to time.

Fans accused Rogan of favoring the BJJ heavy fighter over Topuria who was trying to land strikes in spite of being a black belt himself. Views online can be quite polarized sometimes but no one can deny Rogan’s contribution to the promotion. What are your views on his takes? Were they unfair?
