I’m David “Super Dave” Acosta — a professional MMA fighter turned VR boxing coach, content creator, and community builder with over 9 years in social media and content production.

The Fighter

Before I ever picked up a VR headset, I was stepping into real cages. I hold a professional MMA record of 5-2-0 competing in Legacy Fighting Championship and LFA (Legacy Fighting Alliance) — the same organizations that have produced UFC champions.

5 wins — 3 by submission, 2 by (T)KO. 18-second ankle lock finish at Legacy Fighting Championship 37. Kimura, rear naked choke, KO, TKO — I could end it any way the fight demanded. Fought on major regional cards including LFA 14 and Legacy Fighting Championship 31, 37, 50, and 55.

I’m also a certified MMA instructor with years of coaching experience — teaching striking, grappling, and fight IQ to fighters of all levels. That real-world fight knowledge is what separates my coaching from everyone else in the VR space.

The Coach

You might know me from Thrill of the Fight 2, where I’m an official in-game coach. My training tutorials are built directly into the VR experience — players learn real boxing technique through my content without ever leaving the headset.

Gaming Trend’s review of TOTF2 called me one of just three pros: “Coach Dave is amenable and a great teacher. He’s easy to listen to and clear in his instructions.”

The Creator

I built the Coach Dave brand from scratch — producing daily VR boxing content across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

3M+ total organic views across platforms. 1M+ views on a single video. 690K+ likes on top-performing content. Zero paid promotion — 100% organic growth. 4+ brands managed simultaneously including Halfbrick Studios and SHEATH Underwear.

Beyond the Ring

Outside the ring and the headset, I’m a husband, a father, a podcast producer, and a community builder. I manage multiple brands, build Discord communities, and I’m always pushing for the next creative edge.
