Blake Bilder went from a small-town kid in Minnesota to signing with the UFC… but behind the fights was chaos no one saw.

Blackout drinking. Adderall and cocaine. Microdosing mushrooms every day. Taking LSD before a UFC fight. Smuggling 81 pounds of weed. Arrested before his debut. Facing federal charges. His brother’s suicide. Ayahuasca ceremonies deep in the Amazon jungle.

At the height of his career, Blake was spiraling.

In this raw interview, Blake opens up about nearly ending his life, relapsing in sobriety, cartel involvement, fighting on psychedelics, prison time, and the moment he finally surrendered and asked for help.

This is a story about ego, faith, shame, redemption, and what it really costs to chase greatness.

If you’re struggling with addiction, depression, or suicidal thoughts — you are not alone.

Watch until the end.
