President Engelhardtsays : For the past month I travel all around the world to collect from each
countries their will and the real aspiration of every MMA National Federation from us today repre-
sented. Today many countries feld frustrated for not be able to activly partecipate to the decision
about international fighting sports. I want a world federation that allows every one to be listend
and to be able to partecipate and decide democraticaly just and cristal clear.
I am very happy and proud to witness the elections of various women in the key rules such in the
committee as in the works group. Gamma wants to represent an organization that shares values
and solid belonging but without distinction of sex, ethnicity, religion and nationality with full inte-
gration and gender equality.

GAMMA Alexander EngelhardtMMA are UFC but UFC are not MMA. MMAs now exist in every country, and for this they must
have strict regulations and standards of training and competition with doping and health
controls that protect the safety of athletes.
TheFirst World Vice President of GAMMA Carlo Di Blasi adds interviewed : GAMMA is an organi-
zation that will allow a real path for athletes by providing the possibilities that athletes at national
level could not have, and wants to be a voice of change in which comparisons between the diffe-
rent visions and cultures of different countries become an enrichment for sport and mixed martial
arts all over the world. We are studying a particular regulatory innovation with an accredited
research group that could involve amateur athletes, women and men, but also children.
Becoming affiliated with GAMMA means seeing one’s own diplomas recognized in all the conti-
nents of the world and entering Mixed Martial Arts as the protagonist.
