Dana White says he spoke to FBI director Kash Patel and he’s very serious about striking a relationship with the UFC to begin training agents in physical fitness and martial arts

Justin Gaethje entered UFC 313 hoping he’d be considered for the next shot at lightweight champion Islam Makhachev if victorious, and it appears he just might be.

Although nothing has been set in stone, Dana White and one of his biggest hitters have positively reacted to Kash Patel mulling over UFC training FBI agents.

Kash Patel wants FBI agents to be trained by UFC fighters and Dana White has now shared his reaction to the request. Patel believes the United States law enforcement can be boosted in several areas. The 45-year-old will now put his plans into motion after becoming the ninth director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation—with mixed martial arts set to play a huge role.

LAS VEGAS – Dana White doesn't think the UFC 313 main event lived up to his expectations, but that doesn't deter him from running it back. In that main event, Magomed Ankalaev dethroned Alex Pereira to become champion.

That wasn’t just some off-the-cuff remark from FBI director Patel — the feds really could be working with UFC fighters in the near future.

FBI Director Kash Patel is “dead serious” about contracting with the UFC to help train rank-and-file agents, according to the organization’s president, Dana White. Patel was in attendance for UFC 313 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena and discussed the plan with the head of the Las Vegas-based fighting organization.
