Sanko Names UFC’s 2024 “All Violence” Team
Laura Sanko joined Mike Bohn for a 2024 UFC All Violence Team discussion, choosing a standout fighter from each of the promotion’s 12 weight classes.
Sanko’s View of “Violence” in MMA
In the interview, Sanko distinguished a regulated contest between willing athletes from violence outside sport. She said her choices reflected the style, swagger, and impact fighters brought to their performances, rather than simply the amount of damage they caused.
The discussion covers all 12 UFC weight classes, including the women’s strawweight, flyweight, and bantamweight divisions. The accompanying written report summarizes Sanko’s perspective but does not publish a complete written list of her selections; the original interview above is the source for the individual picks.

The 2024 performances behind the debate
The year offered several distinct examples of finishing ability at the championship level. Alex Pereira defended the light heavyweight title against Jamahal Hill at UFC 300, Jiří Procházka at UFC 303 and Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 307. His three stoppages ranged from an opening-round finish to a fourth-round victory, illustrating both immediate power and sustained pressure.
Max Holloway supplied another memorable moment at UFC 300, knocking out Justin Gaethje with one second left in the fifth round. The official event recap records that 4:59 finish. Such performances help explain the appeal of discussing impact and style separately from conventional rankings or title ownership.
These results provide context for the year-end conversation; Sanko’s individual selections remain in the interview. The format invites viewers to compare how fighters create decisive moments across divisions, rather than treating every weight class as having the same type of standout performance.
