Herman Terrado (born September 27, 1989) is an American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in Bellator's Welterweight division. A professional competitor since 2008, Terrado has also formerly competed for Strikeforce.

Background

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]

Mixed martial arts career

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 would compile a professional MMA record of 7–2 on the regional circuit before signing with now-defunct promotion Strikeforce in early 2008.

Strikeforce

Terrado made his debut against A.J. Matthews on April 9, 2011 at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley. He won via TKO (punches) in the first round.[3]

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]
