FBI長官カシュ・パテル氏とUFC社長ダナ・ホワイト氏は2026年3月11日、史上初のコラボレーションを発表した。現在および元UFCファイターがバージニア州クアンティコのFBI特別捜査官アカデミーで3月14日と15日にFBI捜査官、学生、上級スタッフを訓練する。このセミナーはエージェントの現場準備を強化するための総合格闘技テクニックを共有する。参加者はジャスティン・ゲイジー、ホルヘ・マスヴィダル、クリス・ワイドマンらだ。
アルティメット・ファイティング・チャンピオンシップ（UFC）と連邦捜査局（FBI）は2026年3月11日、歴史的なパートナーシップを明らかにした。これはパテル氏の2025年2月の就任以来、そして彼のUFCイベント参加以来、長く期待されていたものだ。エリートファイターらが訓練方法、テクニック、競技の洞察を披露し、FBI職員の防御スキルを強化する予定だ。
X上でのUFC-FBI訓練セミナーに対する反応はまちまちだ。格闘技ファンはジャスティン・ゲイジーやホルヘ・マスヴィダルら豪華講師陣に興奮を表明した。VarietyやMMA Junkieなどのメディアはカシュ・パテル氏とダナ・ホワイト氏の発表と引用を中立的に報じた。懐疑的なユーザーは必要性を疑問視し、味方への資金流入やダナ・ホワイト氏の過去の法的問題を背景にした宣伝スタントだと示唆した。批評家らは奇抜で道化じみたものだと嘲笑し、FBIの能力とパテル氏のリーダーシップに対する皮肉を交えた。

Marine OCS is also in Quantico and we're trained in MCMAP which is basically a combo of Krav Maga, BJJ and Judo. If the FBI really wanted to learn more hand to hand combat, they can just go across the street.

This is a ploy to funnel some money to MAGA buddy Dana White. https://t.co/h8HtFgwqI1
