GUINNC Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Matt Tripp holds a press conference on January 5th, 2002 to announce that while GAMMA is coming off a record-breaking year, the company has yet to be true to its name. With only three events in the company's history held on international soil, Tripp announced that recent success and a new investor have allowed GAMMA to expand and make some major signings to better establish itself as the true Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts. That said, GAMMA enters 2002 with some big plans likely beginning with GAMMA 50 live from Las Vegas, Nevada on January 26th, 2002. Current Champions: Super Heavyweight: George Pickering Heavyweight: James Foster Light Heavyweight: Mike Watson Middleweight: Matthew Dean Welterweight: Julio Regueiro Lightweight: Jake Keane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
