Michael Merriman
Michael Merriman founded the Wildside brand. Over 15 years he's trained and cornered athletes at the highest levels — UFC, M1 Global, Bellator, and Strikeforce — and served as a USA Team coach at the WAKO Kickboxing World Championships. National and world champions have come out of his coaching.
Now he's running the Nashville flagship at Music Valley himself — coaching on the floor, not just putting his name on the door.
