Zion Hill walks into the 2025 AGF Oklahoma City Open on a 51-win streak. Case Steven Sullivan ends it. A 51-0 record becomes 51-1.

Twelve tournaments across six organizations produce 6,622 matches this weekend. AGF Oklahoma City leads with 1,627. Grappling Industries DMV runs 1,501. Between those two events alone, more than 3,100 matches go in the books — and ten fighters at DMV run six-win brackets in a single day.

JITS GAINED

Seven wins -- six by submission -- and a gold medal at Newbreed South Carolina. The highest match volume among all MVPs.

MJ

JITS GAINED

Four submissions in four matches. Does not leave a single match to the judges.

Alex Lee Trejo does something rare: he breaks a 26-win streak on his way to gold. Yohalbert Perez of Renzo Gracie Academy enters the JJWL Florida X bracket at 4,750 Jits. Trejo submits him, then submits his next opponent, and walks out with +7,360 Jits on the week.

At Newbreed South Carolina, Hunter Jake Anderson grinds through nine matches. Seven wins, six by submission, and a gold medal. The two losses do not dent the Jits gain — Anderson's strength of schedule carried it.

THE DEEP BRACKETS

The Deep Brackets

Grappling Industries DMV produces the most concentrated set of deep brackets in any single tournament this season. Ten fighters win six straight in their divisions — all at the same event, on the same day, in the Washington D.C. metro area.

Terran Sarmiento of Round Table BJJ, Ethan Crawford and Kai Baer of Alpha BJJ Chantilly, Alice Chouinard of Team Taino, Vincent Kahng of Fifty/50, Leon Rong Zachmy of Crazy 88, Kaiden James Colon of Native Jiu Jitsu, and Zachary McElwee of Cochabamba BJJ all run six-deep. That is sixty combined wins across ten brackets. DMV's 1,501 matches make it the second-largest event of the weekend, but its bracket depth is unmatched.

The streak-breaking wave from last weekend intensifies. Zion Hill loses for the first time ever at 51-0 — the longest active win streak to fall this season. Ivan Makarov (40-0) drops to Lorenzo Lopes at JJWL Florida X. Samantha Sandoval-Reyes (36-0) falls at NAGA San Jose.

LOOKING AHEAD

Looking Ahead

Two consecutive weekends of long-streak collapses — four 20-plus streaks last week, five 30-plus this week — suggest September is doing what September does. Competitors return from summer breaks, new academies enter the circuit, and the depth charts deepen. The long unbeaten runs built over spring and summer are now meeting fall competition.
