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 10 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
