Star Performances
The weekend's biggest riser. Ten wins and two losses, a jump to 6,383 Jits and S-Tier. Twelve matches in a single weekend is a workload most fighters do not see in two months.
Eight consecutive wins without a loss. Climbs to 3,883 Jits and Prodigy tier. A perfect weekend from a standing start.
Four wins, zero losses at Newbreed Roanoke. Competes out of Boundless Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the same academy that leads the Roanoke medal count with 16.
Eight wins against one loss. Climbs to 3,836 Jits and Prodigy tier. Likely competing alongside Weston Koester -- two Koesters in the top-10 risers list.
The volume numbers tell the story this weekend. Charlie McDonnell goes 10-2 across twelve matches for +8,880 Jits — the largest single-weekend gain. Two Koesters crack the top-10 risers: Weston at 8-0 for +7,290 and Waylon at 8-1 for +6,720. Both land in Prodigy tier after starting the weekend unranked.
Gideon Johnson of Boundless BJJ runs a perfect 4-0 at Newbreed Roanoke for +7,120 Jits. Meanwhile at FUJI Missouri State, Caleb Joseph Auberger of Team Shawn Hammonds grinds through six straight wins in the grey belt 8-9 bracket — the deepest single-bracket run of the weekend.
The Deep Brackets
Six consecutive bracket wins in the grey belt 8-9 division at FUJI Missouri State. The deepest single-bracket run of the weekend.
Five straight in the grey belt 8-9 under-70 bracket. At 7,902 Jits, the highest-rated fighter in any deep bracket this weekend.
FUJI BJJ Missouri State in St. Charles runs the deepest fields. Caleb Auberger wins six straight in the grey belt 8-9 under-60 division. Jimmie Martin of Kingdom Warriors wins five in the grey belt 8-9 under-70. Three more fighters — Milo Shook, Wendell Mullinix, and Wade Sevits — each win five straight in different white and grey belt brackets at the same tournament.
That is 26 consecutive bracket wins across five fighters at a single event. Missouri State earns its name.
At NAGA Boston, Leo Atkinson of Daniel Gracie Academy of Plymouth wins five straight in the beginner 6-7 division. At FUJI Missouri State again, Lane Gresco of Alive Jiu Jitsu runs four in the Elite NoGi bracket at 6,494 Jits — the highest-rated deep bracket run outside Missouri's grey belt divisions.
