Marcos Alejandro Pagliere-Torregrosa had his first experience with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA in Bayamon , PR where UFC 8 took place. A short while afterward he moved to the United States permanently.
As luck would have it there was a BJJ school very close and he began training in July 1999. Once he began, he knew this was his calling and gave it his all, training two practices a day. Now a black belt under Cassio Werneck, "Yemaso" has over 7 years training and many tournament wins over many of the elite fighters in the BJJ and submission grappling world.
He teaches classes six days a week in Sacramento, CA at Capital City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
