The UFC and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have signed a training partnership to strengthen agents' defense skills.

UFC announced in a press release on the 12th that active and former athletes will visit the FBI Special Agent Academy in Quantico, Virginia, for two days from the 14th to hold an exclusive training seminar. The seminar will be attended by academy cadets and senior FBI officials from around the world.

The squad will demonstrate how to prepare for the fight and specific fighting techniques and tactics with UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard. This is to provide a practical perspective to cadets who are about to be deployed on the field. The collaboration is part of a plan to provide FBI agents with innovative training options and maintain their best readiness.

UFC CEO Dana White said, "Our athletes will teach mixed martial arts to top FBI agents in Quantico," adding, "We are proud to support the FBI's strengthening of defense technology."

"This event is an opportunity for agents to learn and train with the world's best athletes," FBI Director Kathy Patel said. "This will allow us to prepare more thoroughly to protect the American people."

The seminar will be attended by spectacular players. Current lightweight provisional champion Justin Gaich, Jorge Masvidal, former middleweight champion Chris Wideman, Claudia Gadela, Michael Chandler, Marnell Cop and mixed martial arts legend Henzo Gracie were named in the All-Star squad.

Based in Las Vegas, the UFC is the world's largest mixed martial arts organization with more than 700 million fans worldwide. The FBI, in partnership, is a law enforcement and domestic intelligence agency with about 38,000 people across the United States.
