FBI HQ Becomes UFC Training Ground!
10 Jun
Summary
- UFC fighters are training at FBI headquarters.
- The training occurs ahead of the Freedom 250 card.
- Fighters use mats and bags near the FBI seal.
In an unprecedented move, the UFC has established a training camp within the FBI headquarters for fighters preparing for the Freedom 250 event. Fighter Justin Gaethje, nicknamed 'The Highlight,' was featured in a recent 'Embedded' vlog showcasing his training setup inside the agency's building.
Gaethje highlighted the convenience of having mats and bags readily available, even finding it 'extra cool' to train near the FBI seal. This collaboration stems from a March event where several MMA athletes helped train FBI recruits at Quantico.
Further integrating into the nation's capital, fighters will also use the Eisenhower Executive Office Building as their locker rooms for the spectacle. Meanwhile, other fighters like Ilia Topuria are conducting their preparations in more traditional settings, like a local park, demonstrating the UFC's widespread presence in Washington D.C.
