LAS VEGAS – UFC®, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization, today announced the promotion of Jeff Novitzky to Senior Vice President of Athlete Health & Performance.
Novitzky joined UFC in 2015 as Vice President of Athlete Health & Performance to develop and manage the organization’s anti-doping program, the first all-encompassing, independently administered, anti-doping policy for a professional sports organization. The policy has become a core component of UFC’s expanded efforts to protect the health and safety of its athletes. The program has been independently administered by USADA since its implementation.
Under Novitzky’ s guidance, UFC has continued to develop its out-of-competition performance enhancing drug testing policy and enrich its education and prevention programs.
