Had one mixed martial arts fight in 2012 where he viciously finished his opponent with a kick to the face and a rear naked choke. He was offered to fight pro at an event hosted by the rapper Nelly. He turned it down to pursue acting and modeling.
Zach was approached while working out in a gym in Webster Groves, Missouri in December 2012 by a Rawlings Football Marketing Rep and asked to do print and commercial work.
