Background

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]

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.
