Sanko opened up about being in the public eye in an interview on the BLOCK Party podcast. She says that she has learned to tune out the criticism. “It’s a weird thing because on one hand, people will be like, ‘She only has this job because she looks a certain way.’ And then the next comment will be, ‘Oh, she looks a certain way, so there’s no way she could possibly have anything intelligent to say.’ Like anything, I’m learning to deal with it because it’s certainly something that’s ramped up more as the UFC has started to put me in these positions to have opinions.”

I was born with bad hip dysplasia and was in a brace for the first 8 months of my life. So that’s not going away folks.) Anyyyyway, I’m grateful for @better_you_fitness_kc continuing to put up with my hap hazard training schedule and always being there to help. He’s changed my physique significantly. Best booty builder in KC. Now I just gotta start jogging more and eating the way I know how and we’ll be good to go.”

5. She’s Coming Into Her Own

Sanko opened up about the praise she’s gotten throughout her career on her BLOCK Party interview. She says that she has been a lot more confident when she gets praise. “Every time someone says that word to me, it makes me want to tear up honestly,” Sanko said. “But then it also makes me … I don’t yet feel worthy of that. I want to be worthy of that. I do want to be that. I guess if I really sit back and go through my DMs, at some point I’m going to have to admit that there is an element of that. It’s just hard for me to use that word for myself.”
