Daniel Barrera is an American professional mixed martial artist. Born and raised on a farm in Rupert, ID, Daniel excelled as a wrestler at Minico High School, making it to the state championships in 1999. Upon graduating, Barrera enlisted in the Air Force, taking up boxing and compiled a 15-3-0 record including a hard-fought loss to 2004 Olympic gold medalist Andre Ward. After being transferred to Fort Knox in Kentucky, the lack of a boxing gym in the area turned Barrera to hand-to-hand combat training with other soldiers, and an MMA career was born. Upon his honorable discharge in 2005 after a tour in Pakistan, he moved back to Idaho with his wife and began training while working for the Rupert Fire Department. He was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Hughes vs. Team Serra, fighting on Team Hughes.[1] He is currently pursuing his degree in criminology, but put that on hold while pursuing his dream of becoming the next Ultimate Fighter.
