Big news is coming for the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts members.
On Thursday morning, GAMMA has announced via press release that it has added 25 additional member federations. The association now counts a total of 80 member federations.
”During these unprecedented times, where the global health crisis has forced lockdowns in many countries, the cancellation of sporting events, and disruption of athlete training schedules, GAMMA remains focused in its goal of supporting mixed martial arts, particularly the amateur sport, to develop mixed martial arts all across the globe. GAMMA is highly-committed to providing promising mixed martial arts athletes a global platform to showcase their skills and talents,” said GAMMA president Alexander Engelhardt in a press release.
“We are delighted to announce that we now have the full support of 80 member federations who have joined our cause. We continue to invite other great nations and mixed martial arts athletes from all over the world to join us in showing people the true values and sportsmanship behind our beloved sport.”
GAMMA held its inaugural GAMMA World Championships in Singapore back in November. The event saw 35 national teams competing against each other, with professional and amateur fighters taking part in 110 matches across four days. The association did allow both pro and amateur fighters to compete under amateur rules.
One Championship offered the two best winners of the GAMMA World Championships a $100,000 contract. A month before the event, the Singapore-based promotion announced its partnership with GAMMA.
