FBI Eyes UFC Partnership for Agent Fitness

New FBI Director Kash Patel is proposing a partnership between the FBI and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to enhance the physical fitness and self-defense skills of FBI agents. During a teleconference with the heads of the FBI's field offices, Patel suggested leveraging UFC's expertise, though specifics of the partnership remain unclear. Dana White, UFC President and a known supporter of former President Donald Trump, has not confirmed any formal discussions. While some view this proposal as unconventional and potentially politically motivated, others see the UFC's training as beneficial for improving agents' physical capabilities. The FBI has not publicly commented on the potential collaboration. Patel, a Trump ally, has already started discussions with the UFC, according to sources familiar with the matter.
