Nate Diaz, Max Holloway & Others Pray as UFC Official Jeff Novitzky, Responsible for Fighters’ Health & Performance, Goes Under Knife

The UFC’s Senior VP of Athlete Health and Performance, Jeff Novitzky, recently went under knee replacement surgery, and Diaz sent his well-wishes to the UFC official in his own special way. Other UFC fighters like Max Holloway and Rob Font also wished Novitzky a quick recovery. However, Nate Diaz‘s wish stuck out among the rest.

Nate Diaz uses fewer words, communicates clearly, and is unconcerned about what others think. That is what sets him apart from the majority of other UFC competitors.

Novitzky designated Diaz‘s Instagram comment as his ‘favorite’ and chose to share it separately on his Twitter.

Nate Diaz wishes the UFC official

Novitzky posted a picture of his knee surgery on Instagram, to which Diaz commented: “We better drug this man”. Talking about ‘drugging’ a man who looks after the health and fitness side of the UFC, the 37-year-old certainly chose his words well before commenting.

Diaz’s wordplay captured Jeff Novitzky’s attention, and he decided to share it separately on Twitter.

Other fighters such as Max Holloway and Rob Font also wished for Novitzky’s speedy recovery:

Holloway wrote: “Get well my man!”

Wherein Rob Font wrote: “Wishing you a speedy recovery.”

The 54-year-old does indeed play a significant role in the organization, and it is evident that the fighters have a great deal of respect for him as well.

The USADA mayhem

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the UFC and USADA. And Conor McGregor significantly contributes to it. Many theories have been put up as to why McGregor has avoided being tested by the USADA and managed to get away with it. This has brought many interpretations and many angles to the story.

Recently, specific criticisms of the USADA system have also been leveled with claims that the system is flawed and that its administration is not strict enough with tests, etc.

Jeff Novitzky will have his hands full whenever he returns to work following his recovery.
