Dante Leon details intricate submission win over Bruno Pucci at ONE Fight Night 26: "We call it a 'Thunder Lock'"
Dante Leon mesmerized the crowd at Lumpinee Stadium with a chain of submission attempts that ended in a wrenching armbar to force the tap against Bruno Pucci.
The 29-year-old talked about the sequence in his post-fight interview:
"We call it a 'Thunder Lock.' it's kind of like Americana but pulling the shoulder back. Men, we don't really have a lot of flexibility in the shoulders, so when we start to get that move and start to put pressure in the back of the head, we open up either that shoulder lock or the triangle because we isolate one arm in the head so that's why I was able to do it and switch to the triangle."
