UFC commentator Laura Sanko shared a picture of herself looking unrecognisable during her "awkward phase" as a youngster.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Invicta fighter has made history within the UFC this year.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

At UFC 293 she became the first woman since 2001 to commentate on a pay-per-view event.<\/p>\n

Sanko, 40, drew praise from Conor McGregor that night and has built an enormous fanbase with her brilliant analysis.<\/p>\n

The popular star has over 400,000 followers on Instagram, and recently shared a throwback snap with them.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

While a second added: "Love this!"<\/p>\n

MMA fans love Sanko, with one having previously branded her a "Goddess".<\/p>\n

And even the "Notorious" McGregor agrees that she is great.<\/p>\n

After UFC 293, he tweeted: "Sanko is incredible! 'Spins the chin but nothin\u2019 doin\u2019' Love it. Incredibly refreshing addition!<\/p>\n

"Hats off to the whole @ufc crew! Stellar this evening is! Bravo! Only getting better! What a machine!"<\/p>\n

Sanko later humbly responded: "Thank you for that Conor\u2026 dream come true for me to be on the call tonight," adding: "Our team is the best in the world."<\/p>\n
