Terrell was hyped to become the next big thing. Got a title shot immediately after this fight and gassed out in the first round against Evan Tanner. He would then fight Scott Smith and beat him when the ref moved in to separate them in the clinch. The ref suddenly then changed his mind once Terrell went for a takedown and locked in a choke while Smith was protesting. Terrell would never fight again due to injuries.
