Head MMA Coach
Head MMA Coach Richard Delfin’s martial arts journey began at the age of 4, with Taekwondo being his first passion. Over the course of 260 tournaments, Richard honed his skills before taking a break to pursue wrestling in high school, where he met MMA legends Thomas "The Wildman" Denny and Bryan "The Beast" Baker. This connection led to an opportunity to train MMA at Universal Training Facility in Victorville, California, which was owned by Thomas at the time. After high school, Richard moved to Colorado to train and compete in MMA full-time. He later served in the U.S. Navy, retiring in 2022. With a deep desire to give back to the community and share his knowledge, Richard decided to open his own MMA gym, receiving the blessing from Thomas Denny to carry on the legacy of Universal Training Facility.
