McKane’s 61-Win Streak Falls at the ADCC US Open
Sixteen tournaments, 6,269 matches, ten organizations. A 61-0 record ends in Dallas, AGF Kids Worlds produces 927 matches, and a 5,680-Jits upset shocks the bracket.
Grayson Neal McKane of Pablo Silva BJJ enters the ADCC US Open in Dallas at 61-0. Ilya Tomyn, rated at 6,373 Jits, ends the longest win streak we have tracked. Sixty-one consecutive wins. Over.
Sixteen tournaments across ten organizations produce 6,269 matches this weekend — the largest single-weekend total of the summer. Grappling Industries DMV leads with 1,100 matches. The ADCC US Open adds 1,070 at a 69% submission rate. AGF Kids Worlds in Fort Worth produces 927.
Star Performances
Thirteen wins and one loss across multiple divisions at AGF Kids Worlds. Nine submissions, four points wins. Gold medal and the weekend’s highest Jits gain among MVPs.
Perfect 4-0 at the ADCC US Open. His path includes ending Matthew Justice Velez’s 23-win streak. AOJ’s representative at the biggest no-gi event of the weekend.
Four matches, four submissions, gold medal. A clean sweep at NAGA New Orleans.
Six wins in seven matches. Three submissions and three points wins. Gold medal at Newbreed Memphis.
Gehrig White puts together a 13-1 run at AGF Kids Worlds — the kind of weekend that only happens at a tournament with 927 matches. Thirteen wins across multiple divisions, nine by submission, and a +2,910 Jits gain that moves him to 4,270.
The ADCC US Open in Dallas produces its own storyline. John-Paul Thien Tran of AOJ goes 4-0 and ends Matthew Justice Velez's 23-win streak along the way. Tran is rated at 3,840 Jits. Velez carries a 6,374 rating. The lower-rated fighter wins at the ADCC US Open. That is the kind of result that makes a career.
The Deep Brackets
With 6,269 matches across 16 events, this is the deepest weekend of the summer. Grappling Industries DMV alone produces 1,100 matches — enough to qualify as three normal-sized tournaments. The round-robin format guarantees volume, and the fighters who survive a full day at GI DMV earn every Jits point.
Gehrig White leads all fighters with 14 total matches at AGF Kids Worlds. Matthew McPherson of The Match Champ USA plays 14 as well, going 12-2 for a +9,210 Jits gain — the single largest rating move of the entire weekend. His 32-win streak falls to Marciano Edward Cherry, but the volume of wins on either side of that loss more than compensates.
Upsets and Surprises
Fontanilla beats an 8,710-Jits fighter by points at the ADCC US Open. A 0.1% win probability -- the most improbable result of the entire summer.
Herrera of [Lansang BJJ](/academy/lansang-bjj-874) submits a 6,520-Jits grey belt. Barnhardt loses three times at this event to lower-rated opponents.
Georgiades submits Borders in the Kids Challenger bracket. Nearly 4,000 Jits separating them.
Cote edges Bell 4-2 at the JJWL New England VI in Boston.
The streak-breaking numbers are staggering. McKane's 61-0 tops the list, but Archer Massey (39-0, 7,342 Jits) of Dragon King BJJ falls to Sky Holloway, rated at just 1,944 Jits, at AGF Kids Novice. That is a 5,398-Jits gap. John Sheppard — last week's 10-0 submission sweep standout — sees his streak reach 43 before falling to Jackson Parker Desalvo, rated at 11,965 Jits, at AGF Kids Worlds.
The ADCC US Open alone breaks two streaks above 20 wins. AGF Kids Worlds breaks three more. Five streaks above 20, all in one weekend.

Looking Ahead
A 61-win streak, a 43-win streak, a 39-win streak. All ended on the same weekend. The ADCC US Open and AGF Kids Worlds brought the best to the same floor — and the streaks that survived against regional competition did not survive the national stage. That is what June is for.
