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.[4] Terrado lost via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28).[5]
Terrado then faced Justin Baesman at Bellator 115 on April 4, 2014.[6] After three back-and-forth rounds, the fight was ruled a majority draw.[7] 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.[8]
