Among the fighters he defeated at ADCC were Carlos "Carlão" Barreto, Sean Alvarez, Ricco Rodriguez, Mike Van Arsdale, Josh Barnett and Tony Netcler. It was quite notable at the time when Mark Kerr, Mario Sperry and Royler Gracie were dominating the ADCC each in their own weight classes. Carlos Barreto, commonly known as “Carlão” Barreto is an iconic figure in both jiu jitsu and vale-tudo/mixed martial arts (MMA). A black belt under Sergio “Bolão” Souza, Barreto defended the flag of jiu jitsu and the Carlson Gracie Academy inside cages and rings across the world against various styles of combat, defeating big names of cage-fighting such as Kevin Randleman, Ben Rothwell, Dan Bobish, Paul Varelans and numerous others. “Carlão” Barreto was also known as one of the most talented and successful guard players in vale tudo. #MarkKerr #ADCC1999 #CarlosBarreto
