CEO Dana White has long been an ally of President Donald Trump and his administration. Agents would be trained in hand-to-hand combat.

The FBI plans to offer the Ultimate Fighting Championship an exclusive one-year contract to train its special agents in hand-to-hand combat, according to a document released by the agency in September.

The UFC, according to the bureau, is “the sole qualified vendor” capable of providing tactical training that meets FBI standards. The justification for the contract cited the “expertise” the multibillion-dollar global media business has in mixed martial arts, striking techniques, grappling and takedowns.

The bureau said that market research determined that “no other vendor can provide comprehensive training encompassing all required skills at the necessary expertise level within the required timeframe.”

    They will lambast you telling you nothing can be done. These same people defended the 2nd amendment as hundreds of school children have been slaughtered! I thought the 2nd amendment was to prevent tyranny? Oh it’s just to terrorize school children after all? Americans truly are an evil people, don’t trust them!

      Well, shocking to learn you’re not just a fake leftist but also a bigot. You said in another thread you’re American so one part of this does track in one small way.

        That’s not what bigot means. Calling Americans cowards isn’t bigotry, it’s just fact
