Bruno Pucci wants to shock the world and submit Dante Leon: "I try to finish"
Bruno Pucci is looking to put on the performance of a lifetime and submit Canadian phenom Dante Leon in his ONE Championship debut at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video.
Pucci told the organization:
"I like to scramble. I like to go for the finish. I try to finish. If possible, to do it fast. Sometimes it doesn’t come or it doesn’t go my way because once you try to attack, you can leave some openings behind. But, you know, I try to go forward, and I don’t save too much."
