Duarte began his mixed martial arts training early in high school. Duarte began training in submission grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Purebred Shooto Guam in Hagatna, Guam in 1999. Although a gifted athlete with good skills as a wrestler, Duarte soon learned that the striking game was his key asset especially with his good hands and strong chin. It was in the striking game that became his niche as he trained under the tutelage of Pat "Gori-Chan" Ayuyu, an accomplished lightweight pugilist who also earned a respected following his debut in the elite K-1 kickboxing organization.
Upon graduation from high school in 2001, Duarte dabbled in the local MMA scene that was still a fledgling sport that was dominated by only a select pool of elite fighters. Thus after working a couple of odd jobs and playing community league football, Duarte took a chance and decided to leave home in search of better opportunities in the U.S. mainland. With nothing more that the a couple clothes in a bag and $500 dollars in his pockets, Duarte left Guam for Kingsville, Texas
in 2002.
After leaving Guam, he made his way to Texas where he joined up with his cousin who was serving in the United States Navy
. While in Texas, Duarte started training at a professional boxing gym in Corpus Christi, Texas
.
Upon completion of One Station Unit Training
, Duarte earned his basic parachutist
wings. Duarte was called to serve with 1-41 Infantry Regiment(MECH)of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division out of Fort Riley
, Kansas
. Duarte served two tours of duty in Iraq

victory. His next fight took place in the inaugural "Unleashed Fight/GP Galaxy" fight promotion as a lightweight
where he won a first round submission victory via armbar
over Randy Bowers. He is the reigning Unleashed Fight Lightweight champion with his first-round rear naked choke submission victory over Ulfrano Rodriguez on March 22, 2008.
Duarte appeared on "The Ultimate Fighter
" (TUF) reality show against Phillipe Nover
, who submitted Duarte via rear naked choke in the second round. Considered exhibition contests, the fights on TUF are not reflected upon a professional fighter's official record and thus Duarte remained undefeated in professional MMA competition (at that time) and improved his record to 4-0 with another submission victory over Pierre Dumont at "Colleseo Championship Fighting II: King of the Streets" on October 24, 2008. Duarte's next fight was against Kenny Raught at "Colloseo Championship Fighting III: Undisputed" on November 28, 2008 in Edmonton
, Alberta, Canada. Duarte dominated the entire fight from the sound of the bell until out of sheer desperation, Raught winged a right hand that caught Duarte on the button to give him his first loss of his professional career. On May 30, 2009, Duarte earned his fifth career victory with a first round TKO stoppage of David Gardner in the latest installment of the WarGods promotion held at the Viejas
Casino in Alpine, California.
On April 8, 2010, Duarte fought in the second season of the Bellator Fighting Championships
. With less than a week's notice, Duarte was to take on former collegiate wrestler Carey Vanier
in the quarterfinal round of the Bellator Fighting Championships' lightweight tournament. Duarte stepped into the cage at 156 lbs. after losing much of the weight within a 48 hour window. (Finnish figher, Janne Turlinta, was not able to procure the necessary visa to fight in the United States, so Duarte was called in.) Duarte controlled much of the stand-up battle and consistently made the scramble back up to his feet after several takedown attempts by Vanier. Although visibly weakened by the rapid weight cut, Duarte continued to maneuver against Vanier but could not find any opportunity to effectively neutralize the shot of Vanier who grounded Duarte and worked to pass from Duarte's full guard. Varnier eventually worked into the side control position and continued to rain down punches before the referee called an end to the fight at the 4:14 mark in the third round.
On August 12, 2011, Duarte marked another milestone in his storied fight career by fighting in Strikeforce Mixed Martial Arts' Challenger Series. Headlining as the Lightweight Main Event of the evening at the Pearl at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, Duarte squared off against Brazilian Jiu jitsu black belt and UFC veteran, Jorge Gurgel
. The fight was a excitingly rich stand-up battle with Duarte and Gurgel eager to square up in the middle of the cage trading blows. Duarte's blows to Gurgel's body and face quickly increased Gurgel sense of urgency and attempts at takedowns and swift body kicks to slow Duarte's pace. Duarte continued control much of the tempo of the fight skillfully controlling Gurgel and finding homes for his jabs and body shots. In the third and final round, Gurgel came out with a frenzied attack trying to stifle Duarte's offensive play. Muscling for a takedown, Gurgel landed under Duarte's mount and quickly spun to his butterfly guard. Well aware of the threat, Duarte kept the action close and controlled Gurgel's posturing from guard. Toward the end of the round, Duarte got back to his feet and Gurgel quickly followed. As Gurgel began to press forward and engage whereas Duarte capitalized by shooting for a double leg takedown and slamming Gurgel to the mat and continued to work body shots until the final buzzer sounded signaling the end of the final round. Thereby, Duarte earned the unanimous decision over Gurgel with all three judges scoring the bout 30-27, 29-28 respectively.
