Terry Etim (born October 19, 1985 in Liverpool, England) is a mixed martial artist and thai boxer who trains with Team Kaobon and RFT. He is trained by Colin Heron and Marcelo Brigadeiro.[1] Etim is a blue belt in Luta Livre[2] under black belt Marcelo Brigadeiro.

Early MMA Career

Terry has become the Cage Gladiators Lightweight Champion defeating Greg Loughran via rear naked choke in the second round and successfully defended his title against Sami Berik, again winning in the second round via arm bar.

Etim's fight with Spain's Diego Gonzalez was refereed by former boxing World Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson,[3] during the World Cage Fighting Championships at the Manchester Evening News Arena Manchester, England, Saturday March 18, 2006.[4] Etim won the fight via triangle choke in the first round.

UFC

Since then Etim trained with Pride veteran Luciano Azevedo in Brazil in preparation for his fight with Matt Grice at UFC 70 in Manchester.[5]After an opening flurry that rocked Grice, Etim jumped in with a flying knee that was blocked and caused him to fall to the canvas. From there, Grice worked his ground and pound attack,[6] but once the fight was stood up, Etim turned the tables and locked in a standing guillotine. Etim dragged Grice down to the ground whilst in the guillotine.[7] But this allowed Grice to escape briefly, before Etim got Grice in another guillotine choke.[8] Grice fell unconscious in the choke and referee Steve Mazzagatti halted the fight with 12 seconds left of the opening round.[9]

Etim was defeated at UFC 75, London by Gleison Tibau via unanimous decision.

Etim defeated Sam Stout at UFC 89 in Birmingham, England via unanimous decision.[10] Combining precise kicks with fast hands and a precise jab, Etim controlled Stout through the duration of the fight,[11] only having to fend off sporadic and often desperate bursts from the Canadian in reply.[12]

Terry posted his second win in as many fights, as he stopped Palace Fighting Championship lightweight titleholder Brian Cobb via strikes.[13] The defeat snapped Cobb’s nine-fight winning streak.[14] Etim appeared to win the first round, using leg kicks effectively. When the fight went to the ground Cobb failed to score points, as Etim avoided damage on the ground.[15] Early in round two Etim dropped Cobb with a head kick before finishing the fight with punches, forcing the referee to stop the fight.[16]

Terry survived a first-round knockdown and broken nose to defeat Justin Buchholz via D'Arce choke at 2:38 of the second round.[17] Etim collected $60,000 for submission of the night.[18] Buchholz and Etim traded heavy kicks and punches for the first few minutes in the bout before the American landed a hard right hand which broke Etim’s nose.[19] Buchholz pounced but Etim was able to survive the round. Etim went back to his measured gameplan in round two, landing with some hard leg kicks, before hurting Buchholz with multiple knees from the clinch.[20] A scramble ensued before the fight went to the mat, from there Etim was able to lock in the D'Arce choke to finish the fight.[21]
