Biography

Dante Leon is a Canadian Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and one of the most successful and well-rounded no-gi competitors of his era. Leon is known for his strong wrestling, dangerous guard, powerful rear naked and armbar finishes, and a high-paced, submission-oriented style that remains effective across multiple weight divisions.

Leon rose to international prominence through major wins at IBJJF No-Gi Worlds—where he became a world champion—as well as standout performances at ADCC, WNO, ONE Championship, and other top professional events. His breakout moment came at ADCC 2019, where he defeated several top-seeded athletes en route to a 4th-place finish, showcasing sharp scrimmage wrestling and tactical decision-making.

Known for his work ethic and powerlifting-focused strength routine, Leon has developed a reputation as one of the pound-for-pound strongest athletes. His guard is notoriously difficult to pass, complementing his strong top game and making him one of the most well-rounded grapplers in the sport. He also represented Team Daisy Fresh at CJI 2, further displaying his elite competitive versatility.

Dante Leon remains one of the most active and respected competitors in modern grappling, continually refining his game while serving as a head coach of Adamas Jiu-Jitsu in Ohio.
