A 45-Win Streak Falls in Portland
Fifteen tournaments, 7,266 matches, ten organizations. Marat Mints’ 45-0 run ends at ADCC Portland. The California XI double-header produces 2,384 matches. Six streak breakers above 20 wins fall in a single weekend.
Marat Mints of AOJ walks into the ADCC US Open in Portland on a 45-win streak. Logan Carneiro Caliman, rated at 3,264 Jits against Mints' 5,851, ends it. Mints leaves Portland at 45-1.
Fifteen tournaments across ten organizations produce 7,266 matches this weekend. The JJWL California XI double-header in Long Beach combines for 2,384 matches. NAGA Denver leads a single field with 964. And the ADCC US Open in Portland finishes 76% of its 594 matches by submission.
Star Performances
The weekend's biggest riser. Four wins, zero losses, a jump to 3,083 Jits and Elite tier. Competes out of Lansang BJJ, the same academy that sends Lorenzo Franco into the weekend on a 24-win streak.
Seven wins without a loss. Climbs to 3,876 Jits and Prodigy tier. The highest match count among all risers this weekend.
Eight consecutive wins. Enters unranked, exits at 3,216 Jits. Eight is a workload most fighters do not see in a month.
Runs through four opponents in the No Gi 10-11 intermediate bracket. Her 28-win streak eventually falls to Sebastian Cubillos later in the tournament — but the bracket run itself is dominant.
The streak breakers tell the real story this weekend. Six fighters with win streaks above 20 see them end. But the risers are just as compelling. Dovahkiin Trujillo of Lansang BJJ goes 4-0 for +7,440 Jits — the largest single-weekend gain. Bastian Ferreyra of CRBJJ Utah runs seven straight without a loss. And East Carlton puts together an 8-0 weekend from a standing start.
The volume leaders are familiar names: the JJWL circuit and the IBJJF kids circuit. But this weekend belongs to ADCC Portland, where 76% of matches end by submission and the sport's longest active win streak falls.
The Deep Brackets
The California XI Gi Youth double-header in Long Beach produces the weekend's deepest fields: 1,793 matches in Gi, 591 in NoGi, with 2,360 competitors across both formats. Art of Jiu Jitsu leads the Gi side with 37 medals. KDMMA takes the NoGi lead with 24.
Danica Nguyen of One Jiu Jitsu HQ wins five straight in the Teen division at California XI Gi for a bronze medal — the highest bracket win count among youth fighters this weekend. Delilah Barrios of Riverside Submission matches five wins in the same division for silver.
At ADCC Portland, Peyton Carlson of GRPL Club runs four straight in the Boys 9-10 intermediate bracket. At Newbreed Raleigh, Raquel Quinones of ZR Team USA sweeps four in the white belt 10-11 division.
