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.

UFC President Dana White confirmed that FBI Director Kash Patel is seriously considering a partnership with the mixed martial arts organization to train FBI agents. Patel spoke to White about the potential collaboration during a UFC event on Saturday.

Director Kash Patel is reportedly exploring the idea of involving the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to bolster the self-defense skills of FBI agents.

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, a Las Vegas resident, was in attendance for UFC 313 at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night and discussed the potential plan with the head of the Las Vegas-based fighting organization.
