Newport Beach, CA: People say “two is better than one” so fight promoter Roy Englebrecht announced that his 10th session of Fight Promoter University will feature back-to-back Fight Club OC shows. Set for December 3-6 in Southern California, FPU X will be a day longer and now with the two shows all FPU students will be able to work both shows and get twice the hands on experience.
“What a way to end 2014 so that future or current fight promoters can get the knowledge and hands on experience in the fight promotions business that they need to be successful in 2015,” said FPU founder Englebrecht. “With FPU X we will give students the experience of our normal Thursday Fight Club OC show set for Thursday, December 4th, and then on Friday, December 5th it will be the Resurrection Fighting Alliance bringing their great MMA fighters to The Hangar for a show that will be broadcast live on AXS TV Fights. So two great shows for students to work and observe what it takes to put on a quality fight show.”
FPU X will also feature an extra day so students will be able to attend all the necessary classes and hear from some of the best fight promoters and business men in the combative sports business. The opening session will begin on Wednesday, December 3rd at 10am and will wrap up with the FPU X Commencement Address and Graduation at Noon on Saturday, December 6th.

“What has made FPU very special and the only place to go to learn the fight promotions business has been our guest speakers,” said Englebrecht. “I ask each one to come to FPU not to tell war stories or how great they are, but the actually teach a specific area of the fight promotions business so students leave with so much more knowledge than when they arrived.”
