With a ground-breaking three consecutive double World championship titles (superheavyweight and absolute) to his name, Marcus Buchecha is the all-conquering top ranked Jiu-jitsu player in the world today. The Checkmat team representative, hailing from Santos, Sao Paulo but based in Southern California, is widely recognised as the best super heavyweight weight champion to ever enter the tournament arena.
The charismatic champ, an avid world traveller, is as known for his professionalism and teaching ability as for his competition success. Buchecha has enjoyed a friendly rivalry with Rodolfo in competition but the two heavyweights are firm friends off the mat.
