ONE Championship recently announced their partnership with the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts (GAMMA), an independent governing body for the sport of mixed martial arts worldwide.
ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong was thrilled to announce the tie-up with the Amsterdam based non-profit organization which also has the main goal of bringing the sport of mixed martial arts to the next level as they campaign for its entry into the Olympics.
“I am excited to announce that ONE Championship has partnered with the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts (GAMMA), the independent governing body for the sport of mixed martial arts worldwide, with a seven-figure, multiyear partnership to elevate the sport of mixed martial arts and prepare it for entry into the Olympics,” Sityodtong shared.
“ONE Championship and GAMMA share the authentic martial arts values of integrity, humility, honor, respect, courage, discipline, and compassion in the same spirit of the Olympics.”
GAMMA was founded in 2018 and is headed by its president Alex Engelhardt.
Its members are made up of national federations across 60+ countries, all thought leaders and pioneers in mixed martial arts across five continents with decades of experience in the sport.
“Like me, Alex is also a lifelong martial artist. In the coming days, weeks, months, and year, I encourage martial artists of all backgrounds around the world to unite together to elevate the sport of mixed martial arts together,” Sidyodtong said.
On November, the Gamma Amateur World Championship will be held in Singapore, alongside with ONE Championship which is also set have a massive card on the same week with ONE: EDGE OF GREATNESS.
“I am personally thrilled to invest in the sport of mixed martial arts at the amateur level, and grow the entire sport in the right way.”
