    I forgot to mention it but she also kept doing these weird groans at moments, but overall she was a really good commentator, better than Rogan and Bisping, just gonna take a while getting used to a females hyped voice in major UFC moments.

    I feel like she didn't get the memo to defend the "star" with her life because they assumed Izzy would destroy Strickland and she could call it normally. DC is gonna say "It could be 3-1 either way going into the 5th" and she responds "I don't know how anyone could see this going in Izzy's favor" then DC had to admit yea Izzy is losing. If not for her he would have played it up like Anik did with Jan "Let's just hope Izzy did enough in the first 3 rounds to get this decision." to justify a robbery split decision being called.

    Laura gets a 10/10 for her commentary for the Volkov fight. Not only was she the only one on the mic who could name that Ezekiel choke, but she also recognized how unexpected it was and was appropriately hyped.
    Also I thought her voice was good. I’m a chick so my vote is probably weighted less heavily in this context 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m just glad I don’t have to tune out Bisping’s constant ramblings.

      Speak for yourself, redditor. I don't want some woman getting clever or cute with her descriptions of a man taking damage when she's never eaten a man punch at full strength. I got more jittery when Izzy dropped than slamming a few lines of bad coke, I don't need some whamen shrieking in my ear and I def don't "love" it, lol.

    Thank you for giving her props. Considering Dana once laughed and scoffed at women in the UFC period, a woman at the desk is a big deal. I could tell she was nervous in the beginning (understandable/rightfully so) but calmed down some over the night, which was nice. My only note was her feeling the need to fill every moment of silence with talking. Probably was just nerves. That will hopefully settle some. We don’t need a literal play by play of absolutely every single breath the fighters take. Here and there shutting up a bit will be nice.

Once people have acclimated to a new person/new voice in the booth these gripes about her voice not belonging will blow over because she is overall a much better commentator than the other people you would have to listen to otherwise. Not a based take, she was an improvement in the commentary in almost every way and didn't suck the star's dick like everyone else on commentary does.
