I actually think this could provide a unique insight that could be beneficial to agents. What is interesting about this as well is that UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard will also be there. The fighters and Maynard are not just going and teaching moves to the agents but also the health side and how they train. While I have no idea of knowing what exactly they will be talking about with the training and health side I think it is safe to say that UFC fighters are pretty dang healthy and insight into that would be huge. There are tons of defensive things that could be taught that would be beneficial as well like how to protect yourself particularity with judo and Jujutsu where learning to fall is a critical part.
The fighters that are attending/teaching range from strawweight to lightweight and include both male and female fighters creating a rather balanced group.
Current UFC fighters Justin Gaethje (interim UFC lightweight champion) and Manel Kape (top UFC flyweight challenger), along with retired fighters Jorge Masvidal (first UFC BMF champion), Chris Weidman (former UFC middleweight champion), Claudia Gadelha (former UFC strawweight title challenger), Michael Chandler (former UFC lightweight title challenger) and Renzo Gracie (mixed martial arts legend), will lead the seminar.
This is either an example of how the private free market develops better products than state run organizations... or it is a publicity stunt by Patel to signal how awesome his FBI. How based they are.
I guess it could actually be both.
I tend to agree.... I know the FBI does hand to hand combat training but I have no clue on what the extent of that training is so I could see certain things like that being helpful. What caught my attention though was the training and health side of this because sure the FBI could tell you XYZ to be in the best shape but I think it is different engaging with someone who you can clearly is in remarkable shape.
Since its not being publicized (at least as far as I can tell) it makes me lean more into this being somewhat legit over a PR stunt but who knows we could have a whole camera crew come out and record the whole thing.
The FBI is a completely corrupted agency. They should be dissolved.
