29-year-old Canadian BJJ star Dante Leon is fresh off his second victory in ONE Championship, after returning to the world's largest martial arts organization just a little over a month removed from his promotional debut last December.
Leon scored a unanimous decision victory over Norwegian rival Tommy Langaker at ONE Fight Night 27: Tang vs. Abdullaev on Prime Video last weekend in Bangkok, and now the two-time IBJJF no gi world champion's confidence is off the charts.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a post-fight interview after his match, Leon says he is ready to go against any of the big names in grappling, and invites his opponent to facing him in ONE.

Leon stated:
"I have a very big chance of beating anybody on the planet. I think I've proven that. I proved that today, I proved that tonight, I proved that at ADCC. I proved that at the IBJJF Worlds, I've proven it time and time again over the last six to seven years as a professional grappler."
ONE Fight Night 27: Tang vs. Abdullaev on Prime Video was broadcast live from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, last Saturday, January 11.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch a replay of the event on-demand via Amazon Prime Video.
Dante Leon tells fans not to count him out against the lightweight champ: "I have a chance of beating Kade"
If you ask 29-year-old Canadian grappler Dante Leon if he has any chance of unseating reigning ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion Kade Ruotolo, he will tell you in the affirmative.
Leon believes he should be next in line for a shot at ONE gold, currently held by Kade Ruotolo himself, and that fans shouldn't write him off so easily.
The Pedigo Submission Fighting product said:
"Do I have a chance of beating Kade? Yeah, for sure. I have a chance of beating Kade. In the public eye and for the fans of ONE. I'm sure I'll be an underdog, but in my opinion, and to those who know, I think I'm far from an underdog and be their match with either of the brothers."
