“MMA game against jiu-jitsu” - Bruno Pucci says his experience fighting at ONE gives him edge over newcomer Dante Leon 

ONE Championship mixed martial arts star Bruno Pucci of Brazil may be heading into his next fight a massive underdog, taking on a rising phenom of the 'gentle art'.

But the 34-year-old veteran fighter says he has one distinct advantage over his Canadian counterpart that will carry him to victory this weekend.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Pucci talked about having experience in MMA over BJJ star Dante Leon that will allow him to give his opponent different looks in the ring.

Angela Lee's husband said:

"Jiu-jitsu for jiu-jitsu, we’re both good. But I think, as I fought for ONE for a while, and as I stepped into the ring for a while, I think that experience can help me come out on top. So, I want to really use the MMA game against the jiu-jitsu game."

Pucci is banking on his MMA skills to give Leon fits in submission grappling, perhaps utilizing his knowledge of wrestling and ring generalship to get the better of the young Canadian.

Pucci is coming off three straight losses in the all-encompassing sport and is in dire need of a victory. However, that will be easier said than done against Leon, who is one of the most highly regarded young grapplers in the world today.
