AGF Jackson Produces the Weekend’s Wildest Upset

Christian Solis of RockStar North Frisco puts up the most absurd stat line of the weekend: 9-1 at Newbreed Dallas with eight of those wins by submission. One loss in ten matches. Eight finishes. The kind of ratio that makes scouts take notice.

At NAGA Nashville, Jagg Stinson of Harrison County BJJ goes 5-0 with four submissions for the weekend's largest Jits gain among MVPs. And at AGF Pittsburgh, Hamza Compagnoni of Spar BJJ puts together a perfect 9-0 run — seven submissions — in a tournament dominated by Stout PGH. Everyone else collects medals. Compagnoni collects finishes.

Grappling Industries runs three events this weekend — Cleveland, Boise, and Indianapolis — and the deep bracket runs concentrate there. Eight fighters win six straight in a single division. Barrett Hawthorne Mccoy, Moose John D. Lane V, Weston Walker, and Logan Bishop all do it at Boise. Magnum Vincent, Cristian Collins, and Tim May match them at Cleveland. Bryce Smyth runs the table at Indianapolis.

Alliance BJJ dominates the Boise brackets with three of those six-win runs and 50 total medals from 33 fighters. The round-robin format rewards endurance. These fighters have it.

AGF Jackson is the chaos engine this weekend. Three of the top five rating-gap upsets come from the same tournament in Mississippi. Eli Blackmon embodies the contradictions: he submits a 5,144-Jits opponent in one bracket, then loses twice to Ellis Gray Guthrie in another. Up 3,814 Jits one match, down 3,584 the next.

The streak list runs long. Lainey McKinney (34-0) falls to Thomas Calhoun at AGF Jackson. Owen Reece Hebert (33-0) goes down at the same tournament. Pierce Pimentel (19-0) sees his run end at New England V in what is becoming a weekly pattern: no streak over 15 is safe on a crowded Saturday.

Stout PGH puts on a clinic at AGF Pittsburgh: 84 medals from 43 fighters, including 36 golds. That is a 2.0 medals-per-fighter rate and the highest total of any academy this weekend. Alliance BJJ runs second with 50 medals at Grappling Industries Boise — 24 of them gold. Sylvio Behring USA collects 37 medals from just 18 fighters at AGF Missoula, a 2.1 ratio.

Sam Megale of Alliance BJJ gains +6,940 Jits on a perfect 5-0 weekend at Grappling Industries Boise — the biggest single-weekend Glicko-2 move across all fourteen tournaments.

Gardner Jack Scow of 208 Jiu Jitsu/TRUJITSU goes 9-1 for +6,260 Jits, despite seeing his own 18-0 streak broken by Alexandria Guerrero at the same Boise event. The loss barely dents the gain. On the drops side, Emaline Su of Hiago Gama Jiu Jitsu Academy takes the hardest fall: -4,190 Jits on an 0-2 weekend.

Risers

Drops

March closes with another weekend of broken streaks and regional chaos. AGF Jackson proved that geography produces its own kind of upset — fighters who have never crossed paths meet and the ratings scramble. April opens next weekend with an even fuller schedule. The Grappling Industries circuit alone ran three events this Saturday. The volume is building.
