Straight outta the X-Files.
As promised, UFC and FBI will join forces from March 14-15 at the organization’s Special Agent Academy in Quantico, where past and present fighters Justin Gaethje, Jorge Masvidal, Chris Weidman, Claudia Gadelha, Michael Chandler, Manel Kape and Renzo Gracie will teach new recruits how to fight.
Masvidal can show them how to sucker-punch suspects and if they continue to get out of line, Chandler can apply his patented fish hook. That’s assuming they can still see after Weidman hits them with a double eye poke.
“I have tremendous respect for the FBI and the work they do every day to protect this country,” said UFC CEO Dana White. “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 techniques.”
The deal came together under FBI Director Kash Patel, who was nominated for the position by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Trump is a longtime friend of UFC CEO Dana White.
“I’m thrilled to announce this historic seminar between the FBI and the UFC at Quantico,” Patel added. “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. We are grateful for their shared love of our nation, so that we can better defend her.”
UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard will also be in attendance.
