The first delegation has arrived. The journey begins. Welcome to Colombia!
With great pleasure, the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts (GAMMA) welcomes the National Federation delegation of Suriname, the first participating GAMMA National Federation to arrive in Colombia ahead of the historic Championship taking place in Chía from 8–13 September 2026.
Their arrival marks much more than the beginning of another competition.
It marks the moment when 19 nations begin becoming one Pan American GAMMA Family.
Over the coming days, delegations from across the continent will arrive in Colombia, bringing with them their athletes, coaches, Presidents, officials, referees and judges — and, above all, their national pride, dreams and passion for Mixed Martial Arts.
WELCOME, SURINAME!
To our friends from Suriname:
Welcome to Colombia.
Welcome to Chía.
Welcome to your GAMMA Family.
Thank you for making the journey and for being part of this historic edition of the GAMMA Pan American Championship.
Your arrival officially begins the countdown to what promises to be an unforgettable week of competition, education, friendship, unity and international cooperation.
Tommy Paulus Hermawan
President of GAMMA
