Dante Leon admits his 2018 duel against Tommy Langaker left him “kind of wanting” a rematch against Norwegian grappler

29-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu superstar Dante Leon of Canada believes he and Norwegian rival Tommy Langaker have unfinished business, which they both intend to settle in the ONE Championship ring this weekend.

Leon met Langaker initially at the Pan Americans in 2018, where he lost on points. But that was years ago, and Leon says he has evolved by leaps and bounds since their first encounter.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Leon talked about wanting to beat his old foe Langaker to even the score.

"Tommy and I have a little bit of history. We went against each other in 2018 in the gi. It was a very exciting match, a crazy match. It’s one of the matches that left me kind of wanting to do it again. I obviously wanna get a win back over him."

Leon steps back inside the ring in the world's largest martial arts organization on Friday, and he will be looking for revenge against Langaker.
