Born and raised on the island of Guam, Terrado began bodybuilding at the age of 11 and was talented, going on to win several competitions. In high school, Terrado competed in wrestling and also excelled, winning gold medals for his junior and senior seasons. It was after graduating high school that Terrado began training in MMA. [1]

Early career

Terrado made his professional MMA debut on March 8, 2008, when he faced Bobby Green at COF 11: No Mercy. He lost the fight via guillotine choke submission. [2] Terrado fought in many promotions throughout the United States, most notably Gladiator Challenge, where he held a record of 3–0.

Terrado faced Chris Brown on December 17, 2011, at Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal. He won via submission due to an armbar in the third round. [4]

Bellator MMA

Terrado was expected to face Mark Scanlon on September 20, 2013, at Bellator 100 in the quarterfinal match of Bellator Season Nine Welterweight Tournament. However, Scanlon was replaced by Rick Hawn due to injury. [5] Terrado lost via unanimous decision (30-27, 29–28, 29–28). [6]

Terrado then faced Justin Baesman at Bellator 115 on April 4, 2014. [7] After three back-and-forth rounds, the fight was ruled a majority draw. [8] Following the event, Terrado tested positive for Drostanolone Metabolites. Terrado was given a nine-month suspension by The Nevada State Athletic Commission and fined $1,000. [9]
