All five of the weekend's largest upsets come from ADCC US Open Atlanta. The ADCC submission-only ruleset creates variance — when the match can't go to a points decision until overtime, anything can happen in regulation.

The streak-breaking weekend extends beyond Archibald's 33-0. At Grappling Industries Las Vegas, Matthew Castaneda's 19-win streak falls to Levi Moore, and Bradley Arroyo's 15-win streak falls to Zahaar Goings. At Newbreed Tulsa, Kyler Durasso (18-0) falls to Remington Williams.

LOOKING AHEAD

Looking Ahead

Five streaks above 25 wins falling in a single weekend sets a new record for the spring season. ADCC's submission-only format continues to produce the highest submission rates and the widest upsets of any major organization. When every match starts with a finish-or-wait-for-overtime proposition, the variance window stays open longer.
