Dante Leon made his ONE Championship debut look easy. The Canadian grappler defeated Bruno Pucci via triangle armbar in their lightweight submission grappling match at ONE Fight Night 26 in Bangkok.

One Championship Debut a Success

“I’ve never been in an arena that has such impactful energy as this stadium does. It feels like the fans are on top of you, and not in a bad way. It just feels like that energy is shooting through your body while you’re competing, and it’s special, and it’s really unique,” Leon told ONE.
