Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) athletes will be training agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) this week, both organisations say.
Current and former UFC fighters will visit the FBI Special Agent Academy in Quantico, Virginia, this weekend for a "training seminar" for senior FBI staff and students.
FBI Director Kash Patel called it "a tremendous opportunity" for agents "to learn and train with some of the greatest athletes on earth", adding that it will help the agency "be even better prepared to protect the American people".
Donald Trump, who has attended UFC fights while president, is planning to host an event with the brand at the White House in June.
UFC CEO Dana White said in a statement that the organisation is "proud to support the FBI in strengthening their defense techniques".
