Coach Dave | Super Dave Acosta — VR Boxing Coach & Pro MMA Fighter

The Fighter

SUPER DAVE ACOSTA

Yes, I fought professionally in MMA — but coaching has always been the foundation. I spent nearly a decade coaching boxing, jiu-jitsu, and MMA, often while still competing. From Gold Team MMA in Houston to Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, my journey led me to become the official in-game coach for Thrill of the Fight 2.

I'm not just in the training videos — my avatar is in the game, and there's a fight poster of me hanging in the coach's office.
