And it begins... To all the great fans who have supported Fight Club OC for the past 10 years, here is what the Fight Club OC shows will look like in this new year of 2021. Knowing that the Covid-19 situation and the protocols required by the California State Athletic Commission still make it difficult to stage shows in The Hangar at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, promoter Roy Englebrecht is announcing that the first Fight Club OC show of 2021 will take place on Th...ursday, June 10th. Englebrecht Promotions & Events will stage four Fight Club OC shows instead of their customary six shows, with 2021 Thursday dates now set for June 10th, August 26th, October 21st, and December 2nd. As much as I want to get back to putting on Fight Club OC shows and to satisfy the many fans who have been in touch with me wanting to get back to attending, I didn’t want to rush things too early and then have to cancel a show, said Englebrecht. I believe that by June most people will have been vaccinated and will feel comfortable attending with other fans, plus the state should be allowing fans to attend sporting event by that time. To all Fight Club OC Season Seat Holders, VIP Suite Holders, and Sponsors, a 2021 Renewal Packet will be mail out by early April and be assured that your seats and suites locations will still be where you had them in 2020. #socafightcast #socafights #fightcluboc #englebrechtpromotionsandevents #mma #boxing #knockout #gardenscasino #gardenscasinofightnight #hawaiiangardens

In a year filled with more downs than ups one of boxing’s best feel good stories has to be the resurgence of @chocolatito87! After crushing losses to Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (back-to-back), this once promising warrior seemed to have grown old overnight. However, as is often the case in combat sports, things were not what they seemed. Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez roared back and closed out 2019 winning a title from Khalid Yafai in a dominant performance. Last night, Chocolatit...o brought some light to 2020 by retaining his belt with a decision over Israel Gonzalez! Just another reminder that no matter what happens, no matter how bad things get or seem, YOU ARE NEVER OUT OF THE GAME!
