"This is a tremendous opportunity for our FBI agents to learn and train with some of the greatest athletes on earth --helping the world's premier law enforcement agency be even better prepared to protect the American people. Dana White has changed the game in the mixed martial arts industry and we're extremely honored to be partnered with him, the professionals, and the UFC."
"Our UFC fighters are some of the baddest men and women on the planet and they are heading to Quantico to train the best FBI agents in mixed martial arts. It's an incredible opportunity for our athletes to experience, and we're proud to support the FBI in strengthening their defense."
"The UFC talent will 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."
The UFC announced a partnership with the FBI to conduct a seminar at the FBI Special Agent Academy in Quantico, Virginia on March 14-15. Current and former UFC athletes including Justin Gaethje, Jorge Masvidal, Chris Weidman, Claudia Gadelha, Michael Chandler, Manel Kape, and Renzo Gracie will attend alongside UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard. The fighters will share insights into their training methods and demonstrate specific techniques and tactics to academy students and senior FBI staff. FBI Director Kash Patel and UFC President Dana White both expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, describing it as a historic opportunity to enhance FBI agent preparedness. The seminar represents part of the FBI's broader initiative to provide innovative training options for its personnel.
