2X World and 3X Pan No-Gi Champion Dante Leon is set to compete at the IBJJF Absolute No-Gi Grand Prix on Thursday, February 29th. The Pedigo Submission Fighting representative has consistently challenged himself against the top athletes in multiple weight categories. Dante won his first World No-Gi title back in 2019 in the middleweight division. His second World title came in 2022, this time as a lightweight. This past year, Dante took on one of the biggest challenges of his career, moving all the way up to super heavyweight at the Pan No-Gi. After several tough battles, Dante emerged victorious, once again proving that he can defeat elite competition regardless of weight category. The IBJJF Absolute No-Gi Grand Prix will feature 8 of the world’s best no-gi competitors vying for glory and a $40k cash prize. Be sure to follow the IBJJF on Instagram for athlete announcements for the Absolute No-Gi GP as well as super fights.
