FBI Director Kash Patel wants the UFC to train agents
Briefly

FBI Director Kash Patel has proposed introducing Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) trainers to enhance agents' martial arts capabilities during a video call with field office supervisors. The idea has been described as "surreal" and "wacky" by some agents. Patel's inspiration stems from Dan Bongino, a close associate of President Trump and a noted UFC enthusiast. Critics suggest that this proposal is motivated more by personal connections rather than practical necessity, as formal FBI training already exists.
"There is training the FBI receives in physical altercations. 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," said the official, who was granted anonymity out of concern about possible retribution.
