A 58-Win Streak Falls at Virginia Beach
Thirteen tournaments, 8,452 matches, eight organizations. Bodhi Kapoor’s 58-0 record snaps, a 47-0 streak ends at ADCC OKC, and Ella Jane Desario submits five straight at the same event.
Bodhi Kapoor carries a 58-win streak into Grappling Industries Virginia Beach. Benjamin McConnell ends it. Fifty-eight consecutive wins — the longest streak broken on any weekend this season.
Thirteen tournaments across eight organizations produce 8,452 matches this weekend, the highest single-weekend volume in recent memory. San Diego XVI Gi Youth leads with 1,592. Grappling Industries Chicago runs 1,281. Five events break the 600-match mark.
Star Performances
Back-to-back Roll Up appearances. Two submissions and a points win at San Diego XVI NoGi for the weekend’s highest Jits gain among MVPs.
Five matches, five submissions at the ADCC US Open. An orange belt finishing everyone at Oklahoma City.
Six wins, five by submission at AGF Orlando. The second Bully Me Now fighter to put up a perfect finishing weekend in consecutive Roll Ups.
Gold at San Diego XVI Gi. Two submissions and a points win. A white belt from KDMMA running through the largest tournament of the weekend.
Six wins, four submissions at AGF Chattanooga. Clean sweep from a grey belt who does not waste time on the mat.
Ella Jane Desario of Relson Gracie St Augustine submits all five opponents at the ADCC US Open in Oklahoma City. Five matches, five finishes, zero points decisions. The orange belt joins a growing list of fighters who refuse to let the scoreboard decide.
Jonathan Ayala of Gracie Humaita Valencia appears in the Roll Up for the second consecutive week. Last weekend he went 4-0 all submissions at NAGA LA Kids. This weekend he goes 3-0 at San Diego XVI NoGi for +2,770 Jits. Consistency at this level is rare.
The Deep Brackets
Grappling Industries Chicago runs 1,281 matches and produces the weekend's deepest single-tournament bracket runs. Five fighters win six straight in their divisions: Carlos Aguilera of RMMA, Orlando Garcia of Train Hard, Be Kind - Pica Pau, Tommy Johnston of Pure Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Benjamin Walls of Underground Submission Grappling, and Benjamin Lopez of UFC GYM - Pearland.
Johnston goes further — 12-0 on the full weekend for +7,140 Jits, cracking Kal Germanovich's 29-win streak along the way. At Grappling Industries Grand Rapids, Academy 231 collects 50 medals from 32 fighters — a 1.6 medals-per-fighter ratio that leads all academies at GI events.
Upsets and Surprises
Negro outpoints a 5,250-Jits grey belt from Atos at the ADCC US Open. The weekend’s widest upset.
Turner submits a 5,213-Jits grey belt from Pablo Silva BJJ at NAGA Austin. He then gains +6,340 Jits on the weekend -- the tenth-highest rise.
Anderson of Ralph Gracie Sacramento outpoints a 5,020-Jits opponent at the ADCC US Open.
Mckee beats a 4,980-Jits opponent at the ADCC US Open — then loses to Anthony Lee in another bracket. The volatility of unrated fighters.
The ADCC US Open in Oklahoma City produces three of the top four upsets this weekend. That 68% submission rate means matches are finishing fast, and when they finish fast, ratings swing hard.
The streak list this weekend is the longest of the season. Bodhi Kapoor (58-0) falls at GI Virginia Beach. Alisha Abbasi (47-0) loses to Nixie Garcia at the ADCC US Open. Samuel Hakobyan (43-0) goes down at San Diego XVI NoGi. Archer Massey (39-0) falls at NAGA Austin. Aubrey Coppini (35-0) at San Diego XVI Gi. Five streaks above 30 wins, all broken on the same weekend. The season is catching up to the unbeaten.

Looking Ahead
The numbers are climbing. Eight thousand matches in a single weekend. Five streaks above 30 wins broken. The mid-April schedule is the deepest of the season so far, and the rating system is recalibrating in real time. San Diego, Chicago, Virginia Beach, and Oklahoma City all delivered results that will ripple through regional and national rankings for weeks. The season is not slowing down.
