How Rigan Machado Outsmarted Mark Kerr 🤯 BJJ Strategy Explained #shorts

You don’t beat someone by playing their game.

Carlos recalls watching his brother Rigan train with "The Smashing Machine" Mark Kerr, an absolute monster of a wrestler.
Taking him down? Not happening. 😂
So what did he do? He changed the conversation.

Pull guard → attack the single leg → close the gap.

That’s Rigan Machado Jiu-Jitsu!

It’s not about being better everywhere…
It’s about being smarter somewhere. ☕

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
