While the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks fight it out in The Finals, OKC is weeks away from the NBA Draft and free agency. On our first Thunder episode, I am joined by Jamison Maxwell - who, in addition to being a co-host on The Schooner Pod, is a longtime collaborator of mine on the basketball front as well.

Jamison and I discuss the key personnel decisions faced by GM Sam Presti, including options on Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, and of course, Josh Giddey. We also delve into free agency targets, mull over a Kevin Durant return to OKC, and touch on popular draft targets for the Thunder.

The UFC is a spectacle: a stunning mix of athleticism, quick thinking, and jaw-dropping violence. My friend Ford refers to it as "Elegant Brutality" a phrase so perfect that he's branded his MMA Instagram as such.

With UFC 302 coming up this weekend, there's no better person to discuss the event than Ford. The man is as knowledgeable about the sport as anyone, and it shows: from his in-depth previews and analysis on his Instagram, @elegant.brutality, to his stunning photography work, Ford has truly transformed his passion into something special.

In this conversation, we discuss how Ford got into the sport, the art of photographing the physicality of MMA, my first experience at UFC 296 (which featured Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett), and the key fights for this weekend's event, UFC 302.

Thanks for tuning in to Channel IV's official audio feed. More conversations and more topics will be on the way soon.

-Bobby
