No. He's done a Grapplers Quest tournament though. That's the highlight of his no-gi competition history.

I've heard stories about BJ training with John Machado. Somebody who studies with Machado could probably clarify, but I had heard that BJ struggled against him--though I don't know if John was able to submit BJ or not.
In terms of technical mastery, Machado is near the top of the food chain.

Do you mean J.J. Machado? As in Jean Jaques? I assume you don't mean Rigan, as the name is way off.
There's a lot of stories that lend themselves in their favour to BJ. Little wizard Leozinho has been stated as not being able to pass BJ's guard. Randy has praised his takedown defence to the moon and back etc.
J.J. is a bit bigger than BJ, and one of the most senior practicioners out there. His losses have come either from the cream of the crop, or bigger guys (Lister, Kerr.) Having trouble with him is not a bad thing by any means.
