I remember it loud and clear, Paulo screaming for me at the 2000 Brazilian Championship finals when I was behind on points "VAI CLEAN! VAI!" (GO CLEAN! GO!).. The voice was wind behind my back as I was chasing my efforts and ultimately succeeded with a submission victory over Marcelo Garcia. My TRIANGLE attack from the closed guard led to me to invert out of bottom and take his back. It was my TRIANGLE back attack that took the life out of him. The rear-naked choke was barely, MG was beaten with TRIANGLES on that day.

Footage from two separate locations in Rio de janeiro. The first meeting took place in Niterói, and the other in the absolute finals match in Tijuca (pictured). High-level Jiu-Jitsu.
Footage from Pan American 2001, Orlando USA. This is an inverted Triangle that I became very good at while studying at the Club Carlson Gracie in Rio de janeiro BR. The epitome of High-level Jiu-Jitsu.
Above pic // 2001 Arnold Classic unleashing one of many triangle attacks on Jeff Monson. The match was featured as a main event at the Arnold Schwartzenegger Classic in Columbus OH USA. Monson was an ADCC Champion who had already beat many Jiu-Jitsu black belts, but this time he was up against the best triangle in the business. After 15 minutes I was awarded the victory for being on the attack, the entire time via TRIANGLE.
Above pic // 2001 Marcelo Silveira and myself with the victory plate after beating Jeff Monson. Marcelo was my first Jiu-Jitsu instructor. He planted technical seeds which played a major role in me earning the name "CLEAN, KING OF THE TRIANGLE." His technical insights from CLUB CARLSON GRACIE proved solid!
