In a recent display of cultural immersion, UFC commentators Daniel Cormier, Din Thomas, Paul Felder, and Jon Anik were given a Samba lesson during the UFC 301 weigh-in show. The event took place live in Brazil, setting the stage for an entertaining prelude to the UFC 301 card scheduled for the weekend. The weigh-ins concluded with a vibrant Samba session, where the MMA broadcasting team was joined by women in traditional Brazilian samba outfits, tasked with learning the dance. Their attempts at mastering the steps provided a light-hearted and humorous moment for all watching.
The energetic dance session left Cormier, Anik, Felder, and Thomas visibly exhausted, a detail not missed by Laura Sanko in her reaction to the event. Sanko, an ESPN analyst and commentator, spotted the video on Instagram and couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, playfully suggesting that the men looked as though they were on the verge of a heart attack. Her comment read, “😂😂😂 boys about to have a heart attack.”
Laura Sanko’s reaction resonated with others in the MMA community, including reporter Megan Olivi, who also found humor in the situation. Olivi’s response echoed Sanko’s amusement with a string of laughing emojis, indicating her enjoyment of the video.
In a separate update, Laura Sanko shared a glimpse into her personal life by posting a video of her son performing farming duties. The clip showed her teenage son driving a tractor loader, a moment Sanko humorously queried whether it could be considered child labor when it involves one’s own child. The post attracted a wave of support from fans who commended her for teaching her son the value of hard work.
The video of Sanko’s son was met with positive reactions from fans who appreciated the insight into her family life. Comments poured in praising the way she is raising her son, with one fan stating, “How every kid should be raised,” and another adding, “Great job that young man is ahead of the pack.” The support highlighted the community’s approval of Sanko’s parenting approach and the importance of instilling a strong work ethic in the younger generation.
