Laura Sanko is a commentator for MMA fights around the globe. Using her personal experiences as a professional MMA fighter Laura has quickly adjusted to the commentator life. Laura decided to change career paths from professional fighter to commentator/reporter after giving birth to her first child. A tough decision to retire after spending years training and learning martial arts made a little easier as she gets to use her knowledge of the sport and fighters to her advantage in talking about them.
She is moving up the ranks in a traditionally male dominated field of combat sport reporting and commentating. We talk about her journey, her travels around the globe for fights, raising her son with her husband and having a ranch in the Midwest.
Make sure to follow Laura on her social media pages to stay up with everything she has coming up and where she will be next.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
