Shit like this shows that it's not just Trump that's the problem, but that the MAGA movement as a whole is based on grift and political favoritism at the expense of competent governance.

The most ridiculous administration.
Donnie and pals are easily some of the stupidest people we could have found for the job.
It’s all a grift. This is just another way to funnel government money to his pals and supporters.
It really is that, because all the UFC does is host the fight and pay the competitors. They don’t actually train fighters. At most they introduce them to coaches.
All the training is done by people paid by the fighter in preparation for the match. If the FBi wanted to, they could interview that network of fighters and coaches, look into giving their agents mma training, etc.
Besides that, I feel that mma requires years of training and have no idea how much time the bureau spends on hand to hand combat training. My personal take is that mma can harm your body, brain, and mind and you’re better off doing firearms training if you want to be able to protect yourself.
Agent being like come on I'll take you down and bad guy pulls out gun and shots them.
I guess a fair amount of agents would blow their cover if they carry firearms.
Infiltration is entirely a psychological game, but it adds a sense of safety/calmness to be properly trained in close quarters combat. If time is a constraint, then focusing efforts on one technique is worth more than dabbling in everything
So it's not necessarily because they're intended to use it, but I believe infiltration tasks becomes easier if you think you're the strongest fighter in the room
They are stupid, but principally they are gangsters that have eliminated any authority that could check them.
It's hard to make this government more laughable every day, but they live for the challenge.
Every time I think Republican performative machismo can't get any more ridiculous, they go and prove me wrong.
The UFC doesn't train the fighters. WTF.
There is a chain of UFC^tm^ gyms. I think they are franchises. I'm sure dickhead D. White has some income from them, so just further corrupt grifting from the most criminal administration in history.
It does not even pay coaches of their fighters. Each fighter does it out their own pay. On top of UFC Dana being infamous for their shit payouts compared to all other sports, boxing, etc..
Between this and Hegseth wanting to live broadcast executions, I’m exceedingly confident we’ll see real televised “Running Man” within ten years.
These people are fucking stupid.
What the fuck is the matter with these fuckers? Brain damage? Just plain stupid? What?
Ass lickers. They think that demeaning themselves in front of trump will lead to special favours and wealth by association. They're mistaken, of course.
There are many ardent butthole suckers in trump immediate field of play. As a mob boss he surrounds himself with lieutenants, all fawning for illegal gains and "power".
Trump wants to be the mob boss of the western hemisphere. Emperor Donny. All kings and presidents and autocrats and dictators have one thing in common - keeping power by the sword. Money means nothing without the power to keep it - as musk found out when king donnie explained the facts of life to him - the mob facts of life - because trump has wanted to be a "boss" the whole time he laundered money for the mobs but they kept him "clean" - for as long as they could - which turned out to be a long time and STILL happening. Once the traitor got control of the military and the police and the courts - look out. The criminals are in charge of the good guys (us - the peon citizens).
I'd like to see how fast a well-trained and fit FBI agent would have a UFC fighter tapping out.
Keep in mind, the FBI doesn't generally get the fatass Meal Team Six LEO members that regular law enforcement hires.
Idk about whom to root for in that situation. The FBI, while now somewhat professional, are not the good guys, and they never have been, not entirely.
I like taking down organized crime, but they won't be doing that now. Plus they have a shitload of mormons.
Weird so now FBI agents are going to gently cuddle the criminals until they tap out?
Idiocracy, except run by the most malicious, dumb, and lead deficient assholes on the planet.
So we can sue Dana white if they kill someone trying to choke them out?
His company trains them, an incoming rational administration can hold him liable for what I'm sure is gonna be bullshit.
The stupidity of this aside, this isn't the weirdest thing historically. Like boxers were often brought in to train soldiers in hand to hand combat for example. But the fact its UFC in particular is kinda the problem here, it'd be less notable if it was just mixed martial artists being brought.
Sure but the Boxing association or whatever it is called was never brought in to train people.
Literally why the fuck are FBI and UFC in the same sentence?
