UFC broadcaster Laura Sanko will make history when UFC 293 hitsSydneyon Sunday by becoming the first female colour commentator to call a UFC pay-per-view in the organisation's modern era.

The former professional MMA fighter, 40, has been a part of UFC broadcasts since 2016 - working as a reporter backstage and working with the commentary team on Dana White's Contender Series.

Sanko called her first official event earlier in the year at Fight Night 281 in Las Vegas, and says it is a 'dream come true' to be doing colour commentary duties for a pay-per-view event in Sydney.

'I'm honored to join the commentary team for UFC 293 alongside @jon_anik and @dc_mma, she wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning.

'Dream come true. Before I was an mma analyst or competitor, I was a fan just like most of you reading this.

'Almost 20 years later, I'm here and excited to be a small part of connecting our incredible fanbase to the fighting art of these amazing athletes. See you in Sydney!'
