MMA EPISODE 5: UFC 235 And Beyond!
This was one of the more highly anticipated cards of the year despite it only being held in March! We had so many questions leading up to fight night!!!

-How will "Funky" Ben Askren do in his UFC debut against Robbie Lawler?
-Does Johnny Walker beat Misha Cirkunov on short notice?
-Is Anthony Smith to Jon Jones what Holly Holm was to Ronda Rousey?
All this and many more questions! That being said, UFC235 turned out to be quite the anomaly. Leaving us with more questions than we had answers. FEAR NOT! We swim through the ups, downs, and controversy that made up UFC 235! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode!

Has cross platform gaming helped merge and increase a games overall presence in the market? Are the keyboard and mouse mightier than the controller? Are controllers superior to touch pad controls?
With the innovation in gaming as well as technology, how do we tackle issues like harassment and other forms of toxicity? All this and more!
