Background

Scherner was born in Tres Passos on June 30, 1972. In 1999, Scherner started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil with Carlson Gracie student Murilo Rupp. There he was introduced to Mario Sperry, Murilo Bustamante, and Luis Roberto "Bebeo" Duarte. Bebeo was one of the founding members of the Brazilian Top Team (BTT) academy and invited Scherner to train with BTT.[15][16]

Scherner received his black belt in a very fast three years and nine months. Shortly following this, Ricardo Liborio invited Scherner to start training MMA and teaching BJJ in Olympia, Washington. While in Olympia, Scherner began cross-training with fellow heavyweight Jeff Monson, as he worked to develop his MMA skills.[15]

Mixed martial arts career

In his second fight in the UFC, Scherner fought Gabriel Gonzaga, losing via TKO (Punches) in the second round. Following the loss, Scherner was released from the UFC.[18]

In 2008, Scherner fought Roy Nelson for the IFL Heavyweight Championship at IFL – Las Vegas losing via TKO (Punches) in the first round.[19]

Post-IFL

Scherner returned to action four months later against Journeyman Mychal Clark who submitted Scherner with punches from a mounted position.

Scherner then fought Tracy Willis, and was knocked down by an overhand right early in the second round. Willis followed up with hammerfists that opened a cut on Scherner's forehead and prompted referee Josh Rosenthal to stop the fight.

Scherner lost his next fight against heavyweight prospect Mike Hayes via KO (Punch) at 3:50 of round 2.

The fight was ruled a no contest with the official end coming just 27 seconds into round one.[20]

Scherner was scheduled to fight fellow UFC veteran Brad Morris in Australia at Brace For War 6 on November 13,[21] but he pulled out of the fight due to travel issues. He was replaced by Josh Ogilvie.[22]
