Hey D3! Did you know that the UFC had a Filipino fighter?! Enter Philippe Norver. As a mixed martial artist, Norver was featured in the UFC sponsored fighting show/tournament, “The Ultimate Fighter.” Each season consists of grueling bouts by upcoming UFC fighting prospects who are at the top of their game. Norver fought every week and was able to make an appearance in the finals! He later moved into the UFC and had a few fights -- under the banner of the Filipino flag.
Philippe Norver is a Filipino-American born in Brooklyn. He is adept under many types of martial arts training. You can find him in a ton of martial arts gyms in the NY and NJ area. In fact, he even instructs at one of the most prestigious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies on the East Coast! Unfortunately, he just announced his retirement but Norver had a successful fighting career that should not go overlooked. With Filipino athletes being rare on the center stage, Philippe Norver did us all proud by risking it all in the octagon.
