"Not all heroes wear capes" - Laura Sanko wins over the internet after rescuing husband's stuck John Deere with "little a** body"
Laura Sanko's recent outdoor heroics have earned the approval of many on Instagram. The MMA media star shared a recent clip on her Instagram account of her husband's John Deere forestry vehicle. For whatever reason, it found itself stuck against several branches, which made it difficult for anyone to enter.
Fortunately, Sanko is of slight enough physical build that she could still fit inside the John Deere. Upon doing so, she reversed the vehicle and successfully guided it back into open space. She commemorated the moment by adding the following text to the clip:
"When your husband gets the John Deere stuck and your little a** body is the only thing to save the day"

This drew a wave of fans and even fellow UFC roster members to the comment section, with many showering her with praise. Among them was two-time Olympic judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison, who has recently taken the UFC by storm.
"Not all heroes wear capes"
The praise was widespread, with another congratulating her.
"Well done! You go Laura!"
Others praised both Sanko and the land she and her husband own.
"Great story, and beautiful land!"
Some, though, kept their congratulations short.
"Love it"
A collage of fan reactions can be seen below:
Sanko has carved out a legacy as one of the most beloved members of the UFC broadcast team. She became the first female commentator since Kathy Long to call an event, debuting at UFC Vegas 68, before making her first pay-per-view appearance at UFC 293.
Laura Sanko is a former MMA fighter
Laura Sanko is no stranger to the hardships of MMA. After all, she once competed as a fighter, racking up a 4-1 record as an amateur before making her professional debut against Cassie Robb under the Invicta FC banner at atomweight. She emerged victorious via second-round rear-naked choke.

Unfortunately, Sanko cut her career short after a successful professional debut, and focused instead on becoming a media member. Her decision was informed partly by the lack of an atomweight division in the UFC, which is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the sport.
