Here we have one of the most game fighters in Sweden. David Jacobsson actually skipped the amateur step completely and started fighting professionally on shows in other countries right away. He didn’t really have a real team and coaching staff behind him, but still made serious progression from one fight to another.

Jacobsson has fought across four different weight classes and kept very active up until recently, as he had a hard time getting fights during the covid pandemic. He’s one of those fighters who just won’t say no when offered a bout.

”Fat Boy Slim”, as he’s nicknamed, has won fights in BRAVE Combat Federation and is currently riding a two-fight win streak while fighting for Swedish promotions. He’s now taking his training more seriously at Allstars Training Center and most recently scored a unanimous decision victory against Rahmads Stromanis in the FCR 11 headliner.
