In this episode of Fight Talk with Jimmy Dukes, I sit down with promoter Anthony Hudson to talk about the history and growth of combat sports in Alamogordo, New Mexico.

We dive into how the local fight scene was built from the ground up, the challenges of running live events, and what it takes to keep opportunities alive for amateur fighters. Anthony also shares insight into the vision behind Battle in the Basin and what fans can expect from the upcoming event.
