Two 40-Win Streaks Fall at ADCC US Open

The weekend belongs to Owen Lane Winslett. Ten wins at AGF Memphis — seven by submission, three on points — and a gold medal. That is the kind of day most competitors build an entire season toward. Winslett does it on one Saturday afternoon.

At the ADCC US Open, Scotty Freeman enters as a relative unknown. He leaves as the fighter who ended a 42-win streak. His submission of Caio Rafe Sainz — who carried a 9,392-Jits rating and an orange belt from Sainz Team Alpha Miami — is the kind of result that reshapes a competitive bracket overnight.

The Grappling Industries round-robin format produces the weekend's deepest brackets. At GI Washington State, Eli Iraheta of Team Wise wins six straight in the Gi Kids white belt 6-7 year old division at 5,893 Jits. Evelyn Kim Nguyen of Underground BJJ matches the feat twice — six wins in Gi and six wins in No Gi at the same tournament, both in the 8-9 grey belt bracket.

At GI Connecticut, Gabriel Morais Ferreira of Kairos Jiu Jitsu runs through six opponents in the Gi Kids grey belt division. His 10,906-Jits rating — the highest of any deep bracket winner this weekend — explains why. Over at GI Minneapolis, Max Thao of Spartan Martial Arts grinds through five in the No Gi Kids 10-11 division.

The ADCC US Open turns into a streak-breaking factory. Beyond Heinsohn (46-0) and Sainz (42-0), Anabella Lamardo Junco sees her 28-win run ended by Zoe Freeman, an 8,470-Jits green belt. Hayzon Leopoldo of Morumbi Academy drops his 18-win streak to Hayk Mkrtchyan, who enters at just 1,343 Jits.

Elsewhere, Ricky Ruhland II sees his 23-0 career record broken by Joshua Vizcarrondo at the PBJJF Raleigh Summer Open. Judah Kohnen falls at 19-0 to Samuel Olson — rated at just 1,478 Jits — at Grappling Industries Minneapolis. Six streaks of 18 or longer fall across four tournaments in one weekend.

Art of Jiu Jitsu leads all academies with 28 medals from 17 fighters at the ADCC US Open. Fifteen of those are gold. MidSouth LCCT runs the most efficient operation of the weekend: 27 medals from just 10 fighters, a 2.7 medals-per-fighter rate at AGF Memphis.

Adam Jaros of Next Edge Academy gains +7,100 Jits on a perfect 7-0 weekend — the largest single-weekend Glicko-2 move across all twelve tournaments. He jumps from unrated to 3,673 Jits and an Elite tier in one day.

Breno Marcos of Minnesota School Of Martial Arts goes 9-0 for +5,770 Jits at GI Minneapolis. Nine wins, zero losses, the highest match count among all risers. Kaydin Kasden of Legends MMA adds +5,720 Jits on a 3-1 record to reach Prodigy tier at 5,504 Jits. On the drops side, Rory Connors takes the hardest fall: -3,360 Jits on a 1-3 weekend despite a 22-5 career record.

Risers

Drops

The ADCC US Open proved that no streak is safe when the national stage raises the stakes. With two 40-win records broken in one building, every undefeated fighter on the circuit just got a reminder: the deeper the bracket, the harder the path. Next weekend's results will tell us whether this was an outlier or the new normal.
