Houston XIII Draws 1,283 Matches and 133 Pablo Silva Medals

Three different fighters at three different tournaments go undefeated with 100% submission rates. Lewis Shelton finishes all seven opponents at AGF Richmond. Rosalyn Welford does the same at Newbreed Pensacola. Micah Thompson submits all six at Newbreed OKC. Twenty combined matches, twenty submissions, zero points wins.

Sawyer Silveria-Snow leads the weekend at 10-0 with a gold medal at AGF Columbus. Seven of those ten wins come by submission. The grey belt from Checkmat Gulf Breeze enters rated at 1,530 Jits below the field average and exits with the most wins of any fighter this weekend.

Grappling Industries Brooklyn produces the weekend's deepest adult brackets. Jariel Cross of Paxibellum Jiu-Jitsu and Diego Ortiz of Vanguard Academy each win six straight in separate No Gi blue belt divisions. Kevin Baez of The Ronin Ludus does the same in the white belt heavyweight bracket.

At Grappling Industries Minneapolis, Carter Henry of Akagi Jiu-Jitsu runs through twelve opponents across Gi and No Gi — six in each — for +4,690 Jits and the weekend's largest combined bracket output. Gabriel Morais Ferreira of Kairos Jiu Jitsu, carrying a 10,906-Jits rating, wins five straight at Brooklyn as the highest-rated fighter in any deep bracket field.

The streak-breaker board is the story this weekend. Arley O Martinez (27-0) of Cardonas BJJ falls to Anthony Beltran at Houston XIII. Ashley Nicole Odell (26-0) of Pablo Silva BJJ loses to Emily Hoang at the same event. August Rain Lawler (26-0) of TAC Team BJJ falls to Isaiah Rivera at NAGA Vegas.

Three fighters with 26+ win streaks lose on the same weekend. Beltran alone breaks two of them — he also ends Kai Paul Renta-McKinney's 18-win streak at Houston XIII. At Grappling Industries Brooklyn, Kyle Inlander (19-0) of Studio X Jiu-Jitsu falls to Connor Storms. The weekend breaks ten double-digit win streaks across six tournaments.

Pablo Silva BJJ leads by a margin that is not close. 133 medals from 161 fighters at Houston XIII — 0.83 medals per competitor across Gi and No Gi. Inevat BJJ runs the most efficient operation of the weekend: 43 medals from 45 fighters, including 32 golds. That is a 71% gold rate. NXG Combat Sports posts a similar ratio: 18 golds from 15 fighters at AGF Columbus.

Ayden Alexander Oquinn of Union Team BJJ gains +5,050 Jits on a perfect 8-0 weekend — the biggest single-weekend Glicko-2 move across all thirteen tournaments. The orange belt jumps to 4,040 Jits and Elite tier.

Joey Cruz Panetta of Essential Jiu-Jitsu goes 9-0 for +4,790 Jits at Grappling Industries Brooklyn. Carter Henry of Akagi Jiu-Jitsu matches him in wins at 12-0 for +4,690 Jits in Minneapolis. On the drops side, Clara Jane Blackburn of Atos Atlanta BJJ takes the hardest fall: -2,940 Jits on a 0-8 weekend against a 28-42 career record.
