UFC commentator Laura Sanko shared a picture of herself looking unrecognisable during her "awkward phase" as a youngster.

The former Invicta fighter has made history within the UFC this year.



At UFC 293 she became the first woman since 2001 to commentate on a pay-per-view event.

Sanko, 40, drew praise from Conor McGregor that night and has built an enormous fanbase with her brilliant analysis.

The popular star has over 400,000 followers on Instagram, and recently shared a throwback snap with them.

In the picture, a young Sanko beams from ear to ear while standing next to her brother in big round spectacles and a red cardigan.

MMA fans love Sanko, with one having previously branded her a "Goddess".

And even the "Notorious" McGregor agrees that she is great.

"Hats off to the whole @ufc crew! Stellar this evening is! Bravo! Only getting better! What a machine!"

Sanko later humbly responded: "Thank you for that Conor… dream come true for me to be on the call tonight," adding: "Our team is the best in the world."
