Pedro Serrano Biography

Pedro Serrano was born on June 9, 1996, in Lancaster, California, USA, where he grew up practicing football (soccer), a sport he played competitively for a number of years, from his childhood days to his mid-teens.

During his teens, Pedro and his friends would play-fight among each other in boxing-like sparring sessions, although none had any real striking experience. These combat experiences led Serrano and another one of his sparring friends to decide they wanted to learn real fighting skills, then joining a mixed martial arts (MMA) gym, Pedro was 16-years-old at the time.

At the newly joined MMA school, Pedro took Thai boxing classes in combination with jiu-jitsu, the latter under the instruction of Jerry Montes, who awarded Serrano his blue belt. The young Californian quickly decided that he wanted to pursue a grappling career more seriously and with that in mind, Pedro switched teams, to a more competition-driven workgroup, then joining the Gracie Barra Northridge Academy, a gym led by a legend of the sport — 5x IBJJF World Champion, Rômulo Barral.

Under the guidance of Barral, Serrano climbed through the belt ranks of jiu-jitsu, becoming a respected competitor in the North American grappling circuit, both under IBJJF rules and submission-only. His positive performances on the mats earned Pedro Serrano his black belt on December 13, 2019.
