Terrion Jamar Ware (born March 31, 1986) is an American mixed martial artist who competed in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background[edit]

Growing up in Los Angeles, Terrion's original dream was to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ware was signed by the Los Angeles Angels out of college and played in their minor league system. He made it all the way to their Single A team, Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, as a centerfielder but he had to give up on baseball due to an arm injury he originally suffered in college. [2]

Mixed martial arts career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Starting his MMA career in 2012, Ware fought for various regional American promotions, compiling a 17–5 record while winning the BAMMA USA Bantamweight Championship against Eric Winston, and defending it once against Jeff Martin, as well as the California Xtreme Fighting Bantamweight Championship against Jared Papazian. Other memorable fights during this time were his fight against Leandro Higo at RFA 29 on August 21, 2015, which he lost via last second rear-naked choke at the end of round 3.[3] He also fought for the Absolute Championship Berkut promotion at ACB 51: Silva vs. Torgeson. At this event he won against Nick Mamalis via unanimous decision. [4]
