Walt "Big Ticket" Harris Career Interview (ep. 26)

#WaltHarris #UFC #UFCHistory

AUDIO FILE - originally uploaded on Jun 2, 2021.

UFC Heavyweight Walt Harris hooked up with Chris Lytle and the #LOP crew on the road for this #DEEPDIVE interview. Harris, an Alabama native, has more than 20 fights that are not on his official record as he made his way up the ranks on the "B" circuit.

Still active, we expect Big Ticket back on the #LytesOut Podcast in the future, but we don't interview a lot of active fighters and this was a lot of fun!

Recorded in January of 2021 - Thanks to Big Walt!

(Sound may have a buzz on some speakers, apologies)
