Dana knows how to take care of his own. First the overly generous Reebok pay and now almost free food:
UFC officials today announced the new program, launched in conjunction with Trifecta organic meal delivery, that will assist athletes during fight camp and fight week by creating meal plans and providing food at minimal costs.
“Trifecta’s new fight prep program is an absolute game-changer for UFC athletes,” Vice President Operations for UFC Performance Institute James Kimball stated. “With the offering of this program, athletes – should they choose to participate – will have access to culinary chefs and sports dietitians who can offer the highest-quality, individualized nutritional support and meal planning for the fighters. Proper nutrition and meal prep are critical elements that help each UFC athlete compete in the octagon at an optimized level, and we’re thrilled with Trifecta’s commitment to evolve the sport of MMA through this innovative program.”
While a handful of athletes have already tested the program – including welterweight contender Kamaru Usman, who utilized the service prior to his The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale win over Rafael dos Anjos – it will officially roll out in 2019.
UFC officials said the exact cost to athletes is still being determined but that it is expected to be “minimal” and “certainly cheaper than competing services.”
