Dante Leon is currently focused on jiu-jitsu. He, however, does not mind sharing his knowledge and thoughts on other martial arts, including MMA. The Canadian powerhouse recently found himself having to do that in an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit hosted by ONE Championship.
One fan asked him of an effective submission technique that could be used more often in MMA. He offered the knee bar, which is a leglock submisison technique that stretches out the opponent's knee to force a tap-out or submission.
The 29-year-old Pedigo Submission Fighting standout said:
"I think knee bars is something that could be used more."
