The undefeated professional mixed martial art fighter Phillipe Nover
was born and raised in Brooklyn. Training at Universal Defense
Systems with Ralph Mitchell, Nover is as diverse as the city he lives
in, as he is of American and Filipino descent. The 24-year-old attended
Kingsborough Community College and currently works at Coney Island
Hospital as a registered nurse in the ER. Nover acknowledges his
professional life is quite the dichotomy – healing by day but fighting
by night. He began training in martial arts at age nine and attended
Leon Goldstein High School in Brooklyn. Nover currently holds a rank
of brown belt under his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Teacher Alexandre "Soca"
Freitas and fights out of Team Insight.

Nover Drops a Close Fight
02/08/2010
Phillipe Nover came out on the losing end of a very, very close fight against Rob Emerson at UFC 109. It was simply one of those fights that could have gone either way and someone had to lose. While it was a disheartening loss for Phillipe he certainly proved himself to be a talented fighter that belongs in the UFC and can be a danger to anyone he faces. Nover will be back, for sure!
