Frank Eduardo Archibald carries a 33-win streak into ADCC US Open Atlanta. Ilya Tomyn ends it. Two floors west, four more streaks above 25 wins — Joslyn "babyshark" Molina (28-0), August Rain Lawler (26-0), Mallie Willis (26-0), Andres Maldonado (25-0) — all fall the same weekend.
Thirteen tournaments across nine organizations produce 5,130 matches. Grappling Industries Las Vegas leads with 1,217. ADCC US Open Atlanta runs 973 with a 68% submission rate — the highest of any tournament over 500 matches this weekend.
Star Performances
Ten wins, zero losses. The second-largest Jits gain of the weekend at the weekend's largest tournament. Craven exits at 5,159 Jits, Prodigy tier.
Seven submissions, three points wins across eleven matches. Gold medal. The highest match volume among all MVPs.
Six matches, six submissions. Does not let a single opponent reach the judges. Gold medal at NAGA Charlotte.
Both wins by submission at the ADCC US Open. The highest Jits gain among all MVPs despite only three matches.
Kevon Craven runs the table at Grappling Industries Las Vegas — ten wins, zero losses, a +6,840 Jits surge that lands him at Prodigy tier. At NAGA Charlotte, Silas Tallent finishes all six opponents by submission. Zero points wins. Six finishes.
Rainer Tome Costa plays the volume game at AGF Lubbock, grinding through eleven matches with seven submissions. Meanwhile at ADCC Atlanta, Audrey Maglietta needs only two submission wins to produce the highest MVP Jits gain of the weekend.
The Deep Brackets
Grappling Industries Las Vegas dominates the deep bracket section with 1,217 matches — the largest single-tournament field of the weekend. Seven fighters win six-match brackets: Grant Ryder Taitano Perez and Kylie Chan of Carlson Gracie Team, Ezren Dean of Lucero Jiu-Jitsu Academy, Michael Angulo Perez of Checkmat, August Rain Lawler of TAC Team BJJ, Anastasia Gines of Cascao Jiu-Jitsu, and Francisco Da Cunha Bueno Filho of Alliance, who does it twice across two divisions.
Anecia Cortez fights seven matches at NAGA Chicago, ranked 199th out of 270 entering. Seven matches from deep in the field — the kind of day that rewrites a profile.
Upsets and Surprises
The weekend's widest upset. Quartuccio at 1,180 Jits beats Peterson at 4,190 by points at the ADCC US Open.
Lee takes Young by points at the ADCC US Open. A 2,970-Jits gap.
Schleifer beats Fontanilla by points. The third consecutive 2,900+ Jits upset at ADCC Atlanta.
The only top-5 upset to end by submission. Johnson catches Fisher-rantisi at the ADCC US Open.
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
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.
