Education That Fights for You

The Eleventh Round™| Resources for Combat Athletes's image

The fight doesn’t start in the ring — it starts with knowledge.

At The Eleventh Round, we offer a growing library of free educational resources designed specifically for combat sports athletes.

Built by experienced fighters, coaches, and consultants, our lessons cover what most gyms don’t teach: Financial literacy — budgeting, taxes, contracts, and long-term planning Brand-building — how to position yourself for sponsorships and partnerships Mental performance — staying sharp through adversity Career strategy — navigating the amateur-to-pro transition, injuries, and post-fight life.

This content is 100% free to fighters — because we believe resilience starts with education. Whether your gym is partnered with us or not, you deserve access to the knowledge that can protect your future.
