The competition is open to both genders and will take place with four rings over three days, from 9-11 December.

Following on from a highly successful GAMMA World MMA Championships in Singapore in 2019 (the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic), Berlin is set to feature the world’s best amateur MMA athletes from over 100 countries.

”We are very much looking forward to gathering together face to face after such a long time apart due to the pandemic,” said GAMMA President Alexander Engelhardt. “I am convinced it will be an excellent World Congress where we will receive input from our global membership and a tremendous competition for our athletes. See you in Berlin!”
