And with respect to that, I have to show up and be better,” the 30-year-old martial artist told ONE Championship during a pre-fight interview.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n Leon vs. Iwamoto<\/a> will be one of many exciting fights at ONE Fight Night 42 inside the Lumpinee Stadium.<\/p>\n Iwamoto is aggressive, well-rounded, and capable of staying one step ahead \u2014 but Dante Leon has the tools to shut all of it down.<\/p>\n The starting point is top control. Leon’s crushing top pressure has been the foundation of his best performances in ONE Championship<\/a>, and against an opponent who operates with the fluency and physical intensity that Iwamoto brings, establishing dominant position early is everything.<\/p>\n The Canadian’s ability to pass guard with precision and settle into suffocating top control removes Iwamoto’s most dangerous scrambling opportunities before they can develop.<\/p>\n From there, the back becomes Leon’s primary destination. His ability to hunt the back from almost any position \u2014 off scrambles, off guard passes, off failed submissions \u2014 is what makes him so relentless to contain.<\/p>\n Once he secures that position, Iwamoto faces a finishing threat that has proven too much for everyone Leon has caught there.<\/p>\n North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription can catch the entire card, live in U.S. primetime, for free this Friday, April 10.<\/p>\nDante Leon’s keys to victory against Kenta Iwamoto at ONE Fight Night 42<\/strong><\/h2>\n
