American broadcaster, nicknamed "The Fight Professor," who specializes in play-by-play and color commentary, as well as interviews for the combat sports genre on cable, pay-per-view and DVD.

Quadros was the drummer for SNOW (1978–1981), a heavy metal band that included Quiet Riot guitarist Carlos Cavazo. SNOW opened for Iron Butterfly, Quiet Riot and Johnny Winter and headlined musical venues such as The Troubadour and The Starwood. He also drummed for the Los Angeles-based rock bands Orange (1976–1977) and Dangerface (1982–1983). In 2004, Quadros appeared as a founding member of Sacred Cowboys, performing with the group at Los Angeles-area clubs. He is also a member of 7th Sun.

He has either starred, guest-starred or co-starred in more than 75 films and TV shows since 1988. Combining his theatrical training with an extensive martial arts background in Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan, WingTsun, boxing, kickboxing and submission grappling, Quadros also became a Hollywood fight choreographer.
