UFC and Thorne Strengthen Global Partnership

In a significant development for the world of mixed martial arts, UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) has announced an enhanced renewal of its partnership with Thorne, a leader in science-based health and wellness solutions. Since 2019, Thorne has been a critical ally for UFC, serving as their Official Sports Performance Nutrition Partner. This extension of their collaboration further solidifies their commitment to supporting athletes with effective nutrition and training resources.

With Thorne remaining as the Official Partner of the UFC Performance Institute, the organization's renowned training, research, rehabilitation, and nutrition center, this partnership promises continued excellence in athlete care. Locations of the UFC Performance Institute can be found in Las Vegas, Mexico City, and Shanghai, where elite athletes receive tailored support.

A notable aspect of their renewed collaboration is Thorne's role as a premier partner of UFC’s Anti-Doping program—recognized as a gold standard in combat sports. Thorne plays an integral role by providing high-quality, contaminant-free supplements, ensuring that athletes compete cleanly. Since introducing Thorne’s NSF Certified for Sport products, the UFC has not experienced any incidents of failed drug tests due to contaminants, underscoring the importance of this partnership.

Dr. Duncan French, Senior Vice President of UFC Performance Institute, expressed excitement about the extension, stating, "Thorne is perfectly aligned with our philosophies and represents 'best in class' when it comes to offering performance solutions that impact athlete success." Thorne’s commitment extends beyond just supplementation; they aim to celebrate
