Show notes
Join hosts Scott Dance and Michael Sutherland on Fighters Drinking Coffee as they revisit their Star Wars-themed map of the grappling world and try to make sense of recent twists: team splits, resurfacing allegations, and shifting alliances that have muddied their original castings.
Topics include allegations of steroid distribution (including to minors) tied to the Mendez circle, accusations and conduct questions within prominent teams (Craig, Donaher, Gordon, J‑Rod and others), the fallout inside B‑Team/Simple Man, and how all of this plays into the upcoming ADCC brackets and competitor narratives.
Key takeaways: the hosts re-evaluate who’s a villain or hero, discuss the cultural problems in modern jiu‑jitsu, and urge listeners to keep training, be decent humans, and submit their own theories at fdcpodcast.com.
