Any correlation between sweat and calories burned?

Okay, I know it's not moronic Monday and this may be a bit of a moronic question but I figure what the hell might as well ask anyways. So I've noticed that when depending on what type of exercise the amount that I sweat can vary by quite a bit. For example, I'll run 3 to 4 times a week, usually for an hour or so and most of the time it is without breaks unless my knees are bothering me. At the end of my run I am usually sweating a good amount but nothing crazy.

When running the 5x5 stronglifts program I would finish the entire workout with very little sweat yet I was absolutely fatigued, sore and could tell that I put work in.

I also do Jiu jitsu 3-4 times per week and I'll do an hour of heavy bag work almost every day, it is with these two activities that I sweat ridiculous amounts, I mean like an absolute metric shit ton of sweat. It looks like I showered with my clothes on, I've been doing the heavy bag work for some time now and it's the same every time, the Jiu jitsu I only started a couple of weeks ago but I always sweat a ridiculous amount. I'm just wondering why I would sweat so much more doing these activities than I do running or lifting and if it has any correlation to amount of calories burned?
