"Yeah, I believe my brother will get the win via submission. My brother's a dog. You know, they're one and one technically on paper. There's a little bit of history there. And yeah, Dante's real sharp. He just submitted the ADCC champion in the absolute. In my opinion, around my weight class, he's the number one contender apart from my brother and I. So, it's definitely a next matchup to make."

Dante Leon believes that he can beat anyone in submission grappling, citing his performances in several competitions
Following his latest victory at ONE Fight Night 27 against the former world title challenger Tommy Langaker, Leon has revealed his confidence in competing against any athlete in submission grappling matches.
According to the 29-year-old Canadian, his credentials in various competitions and performances under the world's largest martial arts organization should be enough to back this up, as he explained:
"I have a very big chance of beating anybody on the planet. I think I've proven that. I proved that today, I proved that tonight, I proved that at ADCC. I proved that at the IBJJF Worlds, I've proven time and time again over the last six to seven years as a professional grappler."
