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

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.

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

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.
