FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly has proposed working with the mixed martial arts entertainment group the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to enhance the fitness of agents.
The comments about improving agents’ physical fitness were reportedly made during a teleconference on Wednesday by Patel who was speaking with the heads of the FBI’s 55 field offices, ABC News reported.
Patel, who was sworn in as director last Friday, reportedly said that he wanted to establish a relationship with the UFC to create a fitness program, though the details of what that would entail are still unclear.
A source with the UFC told Fox News that while UFC President Dana White and Patel know each other, the UFC has not been made aware of any information regarding the two sides training with one another. White has been a longtime friend of President Donald Trump.
