Kash Patel to Have FBI Agents Trained by UFC Fighters

Sunday, March 15, 2026

Just weeks after joining the U.S Men's Olympic hockey team in the locker room to celebrate their Gold Medal victory in Italy, FBI director Kash Patel is celebrating what he sees as another athletic milestone. "I'm thrilled to announce this historic seminar between the FBI and the UFC at Quantico," said Patel in a statement released today by the UFC.

This is part of Dummkopf Trumpf's "Russification" of Amerika.

Machoism, brutality, he-mans as icons, gladiator mentality, like in Chechnya.

The FBI Defensive Tactics (DT) course is excellent as it is. The FBI agents were taught enough to deal with KGB operatives, Hell's Angels, mobsters, etc. I was lucky to have attended their 40-hour DT course last century.

FBI agents don't need to waste their time with UFC macho stuff. Once every two months on the pistol range to keep up marksmanship and an annual DT refresher would suffice.

UFC fighters are one punch away from being homeless. This country is cooked.

So was Joe Rogaine last century until he caught his big break with the UFC after Fear Factor.

Now he's made an oligarchic fortune as a TV tumor and carnival barker.

From AI:

" FBI self-defense training at Quantico includes 100+ hours of firearms instruction, defensive tactics, and, as of March 2026, specialized hand-to-hand combat training with UFC fighters. The curriculum focuses on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for ground control, boxing for striking, and high-intensity, realistic scenario-based drills to prepare agents for active shooter situations and suspect "

So, again I ask, how and why is this a bad thing?

That's probably closer to the truth. Government cheese to some administration buddies.

Brawls? I don't know. What I do know is they go through rigorous self defense training and this is before this UFC contract. So why is training with the best on the physical aspects of self defense a bad thing?

In other news, Lewzer gave Jake Paul his "complete and total endorsement" for office today.

Further confirmation that you cannot see.
UFC is not a self-defense sport.

He can get away with crap like this because the idiotic base thinks the FBI operates like a Tom Cruise movie. Only morons would think this is a sound idea.
