Zack Hicks (13-3 am) is one of The Matthew Wellington Group’s clients training out of Team Wildside, with fellow MWG client Mark Crawn. A wrestler in high school and college, Hicks pursued MMA because of his desire to continue to compete.
My primary fighting style is wrestling. I think my takedowns are my biggest asset. My top games is also one of my strong points, I have good control and jiu jitsu while on top. I consider myself well-rounded though, I can fight anywhere.

Hicks plans to pursue a professional career in MMA once he finishes his college education at Austin Peay State University, and he is well poised to do this due in large part to his successful amateur career, which has seen Hicks hold titles for five separate MMA promotions across Kentucky and Tennessee.
Hicks also credits his training with Team Wildside as an integral part of his success.
I train with Team Wildside out of Clarksville Tennessee. The reason I choose Team Wildside the coaches and fighters push me to my limits every training session. Everyone leaves their ego at the door and gives their all when training. They also have many pros around my weight, which makes fighting amateurs that much easier.
