Dante Leon invites all top grapplers to face him in ONE Championship: “I want to keep the train rolling”

29-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu star and former IBJJF no gi world champion Dante Leon of Canada is looking to cement his status as the best grappler in his division, asap.

But in order to do that, the Pedigo Submission Fighting representative feels compelled to invite the rest of the grappling world to join ONE Championship.

ONE is already home to some of the best grappling talent in the sport. Guys like Kade and Tye Ruotolo, Marcelo Garcia, Cole Abate, and more have competed in the world's largest martial arts organization over the past few years.

At 2-0 however, Leon wants to face even more top names.

He told the media at the official ONE Fight Night 27 on Prime Video post-fight interview:

"I want to keep the train rolling. I know there are a lot of grapplers out there who would like a chance to compete at ONE, who would like a chance to work their way up in the rankings."

Leon was last seen defeating Norwegian rival Tommy Langaker via unanimous decision at ONE Fight Night 27 last weekend.

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 all the action via replay on-demand on Amazon Prime Video.
