In Episode 26 I veer off course a bit from the normal podcast topic of Lobo basketball for a conversation I had with New Mexico’s own Holly Holm ahead of UFC 246 on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nev.

Holly is in the co-main event of UFC 246 against Raquel Pennington and while we touch on that some, the main point I wanted to talk about in the time we got with her away from the rest of the media is her connection with the fans of New Mexico who love her so much and her sense of obligation to never let them down.

The podcast was recorded Thursday after Holly had already completed her media obligations at the UFC facility and she was back at her hotel with her fight team when we talked. I also wrote an article about the conversation for Friday’s print edition that posted Thursday night: Holm wants to get a win for New Mexico at UFC 246
