Dante Leon says his strength is unparalleled in jiu-jitsu: "I think I'm one of the strongest athletes on the planet"
Dante Leon doesn't believe anyone can handle his strength on the mats. While the 29-year-old prioritizes technique above all, he also highlights the importance of being physically strong, to execute his strategies.
He told ONE:
"I think pound for pound, I'm not just one of the strongest in the sport. I think I'm one of the strongest athletes on the planet, pound for pound. And I think grapplers are notoriously strong. I think submission grapplers might be a little bit behind the eight ball when it comes to strength training, as compared to judo players, Greco-Romans, freestyle wrestlers. But you know, I believe that at 170 pounds, you'd be hard-pressed in any sport on the planet to find somebody as strong as me."
