Welcome back to Fighters Drinking Coffee — special edition with whiskey and guest Will Bullock. They dig into supplements, diet debates (including the "vegetables" argument and carnivore trends), weight cuts and recovery, and personal stories like swimmer's ear and cauliflower ear. The conversation also veers into food spots, tech and AI in entertainment, and hints at predictive programming and robots for a playful, wide-ranging episode.

Apologies for the missing segment but we will be continuing the conversation on predictive programming, comic books and movies in a future Part 3!

Will Bullock joins Fighters Drinking Coffee to debate gas-station coffee and food (Wawa vs. 7-Eleven vs. Buc-ee’s), share his early-morning training routine and strength gains, and discuss his prep with coach Asim.

They cover competition culture, VGI and the NGA pit format, women’s jiu-jitsu intensity, learning from losses, and where to find Will’s Dreams Not Fame podcast and social profiles:

We cover class structure for mixed-level rooms, assessment and feedback cycles, workshop/private options, CLA/ECO-style problem-solving, and the role of wrestling, scrambles, and consistent practice in accelerating progress.

Two hosts break down Scott's no-gi win at the IBJJF Chicago Open — describing the match, the finishing inverted armbar, and the medal moment. As well as the post tournament meals.

They also discuss a nearby medical emergency at the event, discuss safety, AEDs and CPR, and reflect on risks in high-intensity training and tournaments.

The conversation shifts to jiu-jitsu industry headlines: The Craig Jones Invitational teams, athlete pay, UFC/Paramount deals, and how mainstream exposure could change the sport. They ruminate over how the change in dynamic could be good for the sport but also the risks it could pose to the subculture feel surrounding it.

They close with light post-tournament moments (Chicago food, merch, and ways to follow the show).
