Marcos Alejandro Pagliere-Torregrosa is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.

He had his first experience with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA in Bayamon, Puerto Rico where UFC 8 took place. Torregrosa began training in July 1999. Once he began, he knew this was his calling and gave it his all, training two practices a day. Torregrosa was awarded a black belt under Cassio Werneck.

In 2008 Torregrosa became the head instructor at Capital City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. While teaching at Capital City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Torregrosa developed Yemaso Jiu-Jitsu, a style of Jiu-Jitsu designed to bring success at competitions. Torregrosa founded Team Yemaso in 2009, which consisted of a small team of his best students. Team Yemaso, found much success in local, regional and world tournaments. Team Yemaso has acquired many team titles in a short period due to the focus and efficiency stressed in class.

In May 2011 Torregrosa became a member of Team Lloyd Irvin and, in August 2011 decided, to open his own Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in the Sacramento area.[1] As of 2013 Torregrosa no longer affiliates himself with any team other than Yemaso Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and in February, Torregrosa and Team Yemaso made history and became the first team in the greater Sacramento, CA area to win an International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Team Title.

As of September 2013 Torregrosa receives his Second Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from the IBJJF and closes out the 2013 year as the number one ranked black belt in both his division ( Leve/Light Weight) and Absolute ( all weight divisions)with the kimono. He also holds the number one ranking without the kimono ( no gi) in his division (Leve/Light Weight) and is ranked 9th overall Absolute no gi completing his most productive year to date as a black belt.

In February 2014 Torregrosa leads his team to a second place team title for the second consecutive year at an IBJJF event.

In February 2015 Team Yemaso competed and brought back to Sacramento, CA their third team title (3rd place) at an IBJJF event under the guidance of Torregrosa.
