One evening after UFC CEO Dana White welcomed alleged sexual offenders Andrew and Tristan Tate at a Power Slap competition at the Fontainbleau, a notable attendee at his upcoming Las Vegas event garnered more national attention than the event itself. FBI Director Kash Patel attended UFC 313, allegedly to talk about training FBI agents in mixed martial arts with UFC fighters.
Patel, residing in Las Vegas, shared pictures of himself with White, UFC manager Ali Abdelaziz, and veteran Donald Trump policy advisor Richard Grenell on X Saturday, prior to the UFC event at T-Mobile Arena.
“Only thing better than coming home to Vegas… is fight night #UFC 313,” read the caption.
During one of his initial conference calls with supervisors from FBI field offices following his confirmation for the position last month, Patel reportedly mentioned collaborating with the UFC to enhance the agents’ fighting abilities.
The specifics of how UFC fighters would train them are yet to be determined.
“I’m not sure what I can do,” UFC fighter Justin Gaethje, who defeated lightweight contender Rafael Fiziev in the co-main event of Saturday’s card, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I don’t think these guys have a lot of hand-to-hand combat in their job. I think if they’re going to learn anything, it would be the mindset… It will be interesting.”
Many of those commenting on Patel’s photos were pleased to see White — who endorsed Donald Trump at the Republican National Conventions in 2016 and 2020 — socializing with such prominent federal officials…
“Have a blast at fight night!” posted X user @smartgrow.
“Stay safe!” echoed @constancehammon. “America needs you!”
Other commenters were less pleased.
“Please tell me you are there to arrest (Andrew Tate),” posted X user @PacoStephens.
“Please stay away from the Tate brothers and Dana White (their fan boy who’s advocating for them),” added X user @AwesomeAnnie18. “It’s not a good look for the head of the FBI to be associated with rapists/ child traffickers.”
