On his two bouts for WEC, he won against Donny Rider and lost against Terry Martin. For KOTC, he won five bouts and the middleweight title, remaining undefeated in the organization until his light heavyweight title fight against Tony Lopez, in which he lost via TKO in the third round.
Between 2009 and 2010, Berry fought four times for Gladiator Challenge, obtaining four consecutive victories. Despite having lost against Brett Cooper on Lords of the Cage, in 2011 Berry signed with Strikeforce.
