GAMMA to give athletes opportunities to compete at ONE Lumpinee

The top male and female MMA and Striking MMA competitors at the 2022 GAMMA Asian-Pacific Championships will receive a chance to compete at a 2023 ONE Lumpinee event, according to GAMMA.

The goal of ONE Lumpinee, a series of events established last month by ONE Championship and held at Bangkok's renowned Lumpinee stadium, is to promote and advance combat sports in Thailand.

This chance comes as a result of the strategic alliance GAMMA has with ONE Championship and demonstrates the organization's dedication to providing real routes for fighters who want to compete professionally.

The competition is expected to be strong in the seven weight categories for women and the ten weight categories for men, so earning one of the coveted slots won't be simple. A panel of three unbiased GAMMA representatives will evaluate competitors based on both their in-ring performances and their overall competitive spirit during the Championships.

Announcing this opportunity, GAMMA President Alexander Engelhardt said, “one of our missions as an organisation is to provide real pathways for athletes from our Championships to the professional promotions. We have already seen the value and success of these opportunities in recent months, and we will continue working with our partners to offer even more chances in the future.”
