Phillipe Nover reveals ‘horrific’ battle being fought against coronavirus in New York: ‘It’s spreading like wildfire’

Ex-UFC fighter Phillipe Nover fought plenty of battles during his mixed martial arts career, but no opponent was as terrifying as the virus he’s currently watch tear through the population in New York City on a daily basis.

The 36-year-old former Ultimate Fighter contestant has been a registered nurse in New York for several years where he works as part of a team in the Cath Lab, which is focused on cardiology.

Lately, however, Nover has been crossing over to work in the emergency rooms and intensive care units, which are being bombarded with more and more patients every day who are contracting the deadly coronavirus.
