Triton Fight Center Collects 79 Medals in Tulsa

Two fighters at opposite ends of the style spectrum headline the weekend. Braxton Williams finishes both of his wins by submission at the AGF US Open for +3,590 Jits. Kano Cintron wins five straight by points at Newbreed Raleigh — not a single submission, but not a single loss, either.

Diesel Velasquez runs the cleanest card at NAGA New Mexico: four fights, four submissions, gold. William "Deuce" Ashmore does the same at AGF New Orleans — two fights, two subs, +2,860 Jits.

Grappling Industries Boise produces the deepest individual brackets of the weekend. Caden Moore runs six wins in a single No Gi division. Gunner Jones, Keegan Schultz, Hunter Jones, and Eliana Grace Dolci each post five-win brackets at the same tournament.

The AGF US Open in Tulsa runs 757 matches — the biggest single-tournament field of the weekend. Triton Fight Center's 79-medal haul is the largest single-academy medal count at a single tournament this fall. Their 34 fighters average 2.3 medals each, converting at a rate that suggests the entire roster came in peaked.

GOOD FIGHT: Sub-Only Worlds takes a different approach to depth. Its 445 matches finish at an 88% submission rate. GI Grand Rapids runs 317 matches at 73%. FUJI Louisville hits 76% on 233 matches. Three tournaments, three different organizations, all pushing past 70%.

All four of the weekend's biggest upsets come by submission. Not a single one is decided by points or decision. The AGF circuit produces all of them — two at the US Open in Tulsa, two at New Orleans.

The streak board adds three more. Bode Greenfield (29-0) falls to Aruto De Luna at the AGF US Open. Theo Dykstra (19-0) drops to Ferris Markow at GI Grand Rapids. Kyler Durasso (18-0) loses to Andrew Fox at the US Open.

And at the AGF US Open, a different kind of story: Donovan Cherry and Marciano Edward Cherry meet for the 55th time. Their rivalry stands at 30-25 Cherry. Fifty-five competition meetings between two fighters at the youth level — at some point, the series itself becomes the record.

Triton Fight Center posts the most dominant single-academy performance of the fall season: 79 medals from 34 fighters at the AGF US Open. A near-equal split between gold (34) and silver (33) means almost every Triton fighter who reached a final was in medal contention. Science of Jiu Jitsu Academy runs the tightest operation: 14 fighters, 37 medals, a 2.6-per-fighter rate at AGF New Orleans.

Ross Lawrence gains +7,110 Jits on a 4-1 weekend — the biggest single-week climb across all eighteen tournaments. Nathan Dawson goes 3-0 for +6,680 Jits, and Russell Smestad posts a perfect 4-0 for +6,390 Jits.

On the drops side, Shawn Brake takes the hardest fall: -3,910 Jits on a 3-1 weekend — proof that who you lose to matters as much as the record itself. Tayven Drake goes 0-8 for -3,220 Jits. Eight losses in a single weekend.

Risers

Drops

The holiday season begins to thin the calendar. Next weekend brings fewer events but carries a headliner: ADCC US Open Charlotte draws a stacked field. Newbreed, Grappling Industries, and Grappling X round out a lighter Saturday schedule. The competition year winds down, but the athletes still competing are chasing year-end numbers.
