Herman Terrado (born September 27, 1989) is a professional mixed martial artist from Guam currently competing in the Welterweight division. A professional competitor since 2008, Terrado has also formerly competed for Strikeforce and the Professional Fighters League.

Background[edit]

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[edit]

Early career[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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]

Professional Fighters League[edit]

After going 3–0 on the California regional scene, in June 2017, Terrado debuted for the Professional Fighters League, the recently renamed World Series of Fighting. He faced João Zeferino at Professional Fighters League 36: Fitch vs. Foster and won the back-and-forth fight by split decision.

Terrado faced Magomed Magomedkerimov at PFL 3, getting chocked out at the end of the first round via rear-naked choke.[10]

On August 16, 2018, Terrado faced Jake Shields at PFL 6, losing via unanimous decision advancing to the playoffs.[11]

Bellator MMA[edit]

Terrado was expected to face Mukhamed Berkhamov on April 2, 2021, at Bellator 255.[12] Berkhamov missed weight by 2.8 pounds, leading to the bout being pulled from the lineup due to Berkhamov's miss.[13]

After more than two years, Terrado was rebooked with Berkhamov on October 7, 2023, at Bellator 300.[14] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[15]

Professional grappling career[edit]

Terrado competed against Christian Aguilera at Subversiv 10 for the promotion's 185lbs Combat Jiu-Jitsu title on April 13, 2024.[16] He won the match by submission in EBI overtime.[17]
