FBI agents will attend a training this weekend taught by Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters, the mixed martial arts company announced Wednesday. The UFC said fighters âwill provide insight into how they train for competition, as well as demonstrate specific techniques and tactics, offering a unique perspective to the students as they prepare to enter the field office.â The training at the FBIâs Quantico facility in Virginia comes just months before the White House is set to host a UFC fight night, meant to celebrate the countryâs 250 anniversary, on President Donald Trumpâs birthday. Trump has longstanding ties to the UFC and its CEO Dana White, who was a key surrogate for him in 2024 and introduced him at the Republican National Convention. FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement the UFC training âis a tremendous opportunity for our FBI agents to learn and train with some of the greatest athletesâ and that it would help the FBI âbe even better prepared to protect the American people.â Patel has made his personal image and persona a feature of his leadership of the premier law enforcement agency â breaking away from the blue-suit, stiff-natured persona
