The UFC 293 had exciting fights, with seven fights ending in finishes. The event also saw a new middleweight champion in Sean Strickland, who defeated Israel Adesanya to win the title.

In her debut, Sanko provided commentary for all of the fights on the card, including the main event between Adesanya and Strickland. Fans praised Sanko’s commentary for accurately analyzing Strickland’s strategy and Adesanya’s weaknesses. This has led to fans favoring her over Rogan as a permanent commentator.
