29-year-old Canadian jiu-jitsu superstar Dante Leon has a message for any submission grappler who wants to compete with the best: choose ONE Championship.
Leon made his highly anticipated debut in the world's largest martial arts organization last weekend, coming out to a nifty triangle armbar submission win over Brazil's Bruno Pucci at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video.
More importantly, Leon showcased his sublime grappling skills in front of a packed crowd at Lumpinee Stadium, and to millions of people watching around the world on Amazon.
Speaking to the media at the official ONE Fight Night 26: Lee vs. Rasulov post-fight interviews, Leon had a message for his peers.

The Pedigo Submission Fighting representative said:
"So you know, the opportunity, the matchups, the ability, and a thing that a lot of people don't look at is the ability to explore regions of the world that as jiu-jitsu athletes, we would probably never have the opportunity to explore. I mean, there are a million reasons. But truly, when it comes down to it, if you're an athlete and you want to prove that you're the best, you have to go where the best are. ONE is where the best martial artists are."
ONE Fight Night 26: Lee vs. Rasulov on Prime Video took place live from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand this past Saturday, Dec. 7.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action via replay on-demand with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.

"As I said in the interview, there are a lot of names out there that, you know, each week I see ONE posting that they've signed new people, and every single one that they've signed, it sparks some interest, whether it's to compete against or whether it's to see that person compete."
