Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) wants a piece of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Controversial new director, Kash Patel, held a special teleconference earlier this week where he outlined his upcoming plan to partner with UFC in hopes of improving the training and fitness of field agents around the globe.
“If they’re trying to up their physical fitness, the UFC is very specific in their fitness,” former special agent in charge of FBI’s Newark, New Jersey office, Rich Frankel, told ABC News. “I don’t want UFC to take over the gym.”
Reactions among active agents ranged from “surreal” to “wacky.”
“There is training the FBI receives in physical altercations,” a former Justice Department official told Reuters under anonymity. “If Kash Patel believed that should be beefed up, the answer is not to go to Donald Trump’s best friend who runs the UFC. It’s clearly motivated by the glitz and glamour show, and Trump’s friend.”
Trump has a longstanding relationship with UFC CEO, Dana White.
Patel, a one-time aide to President Trump, was confirmed by the US Senate to lead the FBI and sworn in just a few days back. Patel vowed to shake up the Bureau, which currently boasts more than 37,000 employees across 55 U.S. field offices.
I think the FBI should be able to knee on the ground and be able to headbutt.
What in the actual fuck?
Basically he wants federal law enforcement officers to trane UFC and not be fat retards? I’m on board as long as they aren’t tyrants.
LMFAO…I applied and got quite far into the process. Passed 2 language certs and multiple interviews. Thought about applying again the following year but backed out after reading Randy Weaver’s The Federal Siege at Ruby Ridge: In Our Own Words. Pretty sure I flunked my psyche eval. Anyway, back in the early 90’s, they really opened up the flood gates and were taking all kinds of fucktards.
They should stick to physically fit; accountants, lawyers, experts in their fields, and ex-military.
According to a new report, the FBI wants a partnership with the UFC.
It’s no secret that UFC CEO Dana White is a longtime ally of current U.S. President Donald Trump. The promoter routinely hosted the politician at events throughout 2023, and 2024. Whenever Trump showed up at a UFC pay-per-view event, they would always give the Republican a standing ovation, and a lengthy entrance.
The UFC’s promotion of Trump seemingly paid off in November. The 45th President staged a staggering political comeback, defeating then-Vice President Kamala Harris to become the first man since Grover Cleveland to win a nonconsecutive second term. Just a few months on from that victory, White and company might be getting a big deal with the new administration.
According to a recent report from Fox News, the FBI is interested in forming a partnership with the UFC. Trump-appointed Kash Patel reportedly suggested the idea, to form a partnership that would lead to enhanced workout programs for field agents. As of now, neither the UFC nor the FBI have commented on the report.

Furthermore, it’s unknown if the two sides are genuinely in talks. According to the report, both Patel and White are friendly with one another, but it’s unknown if any deal will get done, or has even been discussed. Regardless, it’s clear that the UFC is very, very cordial with the second Trump administration.
For what it’s worth, UFC CEO Dana White largely seems done with the world of politics at the moment. Following Trump’s win in November, the promoter was asked about potentially jumping into the fray again. White quickly responded in the negative.
“Donald Trump is one of my very good friends.” Dana White stated in the interview, regarding his future. “He did a great job in his last term as President and I know he will do an even better job t

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. Everyone’s got a problem with everything. Heaven fucking forbid they go to the preeminent mutual combat sports leader that has a world class fitness facility and access to some of the best coaches for hand to hand combat in the fucking world, not to mention nutritionists. Get the fuck out of here. The glitz and glam? I heard about it from this pussy crying about it, not from a kash patel press conference.
Dana White is a go getter and he’s team MAGA. Im sure he said anything i can do to help. Well, here’s something he can do. Boo fucking hoo.
