What up, guys. Welcome to today's podcast, the Jiu-Jitsu podcast. We're here today with Dante Leone.

He's a guy who I've watched him compete since he was a teenager. He was doing a lot of the same

competitions that Chad was doing back in the day, like the Nogi Pans and Pans and everything else.

He's a little younger than Chad. A little bit younger, but they were they were kind of like floating around the same time.

I remember seeing him.

And then when he was in Ohio, I remember seeing him, you know, as a young guy out there competing and stuff like that.

So he's been around the area and noticed him.

And he's a guy that I like watching.

So like one of the sort of I guess you'd say when I'm going through and like looking for guests one of the sort of the

qualifications typically is you know pre-requisite obviously if you're a friend or I just

think you're really interesting then that's it right that's fine but a lot of times like when

it comes to competitors I'm looking for people who have games that I like watching

you know what I mean I if you're like a like a you know a, you know, a bazillion time world champion, but, uh, you put me to sleep to watch or or I just don't really remember the style. I'm not, I'm just, I'm not that I'm not as interested. Some people's styles are not the most appealing to, you know, even if you're a

jiu-jitsu athlete or someone that trains, it's still certain ones are more fun to watch.

Yeah, but I mean, Dante, he's super skilled.

Obviously, he's a very high-level competitor.

He's been in the ADCCs.

He's one of a number of superfight organizations.

And, you know, he has some really slick submissions out there to his name and to his

credit.

And so, again, I wanted to him on the podcast.

I've also run into him several times just as a short story.
