Marsden man Daniel Valusaga, nominated for male pro fighter of the year in the 2015 Australian Muay Thai awards, handed himself in at Southport Police Station on Sunday.
A police spokesman said the victims' car had pulled over and the driver behind began using his horn in frustration.
After a brief battle of horns the victim waved the driver behind to go around, police said.
They alleged the accused got out of his car and confronted the victim and his daughter, before punches were thrown.
A witness captured the confrontation on camera, which appeared to show the alleged attacker landing several punches on the young woman as well as the blow that knocked her father out.
Emergency services were called to the assault about 1.20pm, where they found the Nerang man unconscious.
Mr Harris told Nine News Gold Coast he wasn't looking for a fight.
Wife Shayle said she was trapped her in the car as she watched on.
"The seatbelt just wouldn't undo and then as soon as he laid on the ground, my seatbelt came undone," she said.
"I couldn't do a thing.
"... When I saw his eyes rolling in the back of his head, I thought the worst."
Paramedics treated him and he regained consciousness before being taken to Gold Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
Mr Valusaga presented himself to Southport Police Station on Sunday, where he was charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
He will appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on February 13.
