It is Monday January 6th 1998 and I have just been hired by the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts to be the new president of the biggest North American MMA organization. As we speak, GAMMA and its Japanese competitor ALPHA-1 are fighting for the world MMA supremacy.
The sport has grown tremendously in the last few years and it is now at a turning point in North America. There are talks about TV Stations being interested in weekly shows and maybe some PPV deals coming as well. Hopefully I can now lead the company towards the international credibility it is striving for.
Rules of GAMMA
- Fights take place inside of an hexagonal cage
- Non title bouts consist of 3 five minutes rounds, which extends to 5 five minutes rounds in championship fights
- Fights that reach the limit will go to a decision by three independant judges' scorecards who rate the fight on control, damage and aggression
- Soccer kicking or knees to the head of a grounded opponent are forbidden. Elbows are allowed.
- The referee has the right to halt the bout if there is too little action to bring the fighters back to standing position.
GAMMA has five fighting categories which will be covered individually in the upcoming posts.
