Georgian capital Tbilisi has been selected to host the Global Association of Mixed Martial Arts (GAMMA) European Championships next month.

Competition is due to take place at the Tbilisi Sports Palace from September 24 to 28.

"Our European Championships are an extremely important event in the calendar," GAMMA President Alexander Engelhardt said.

"GAMMA continues to find the best opportunities for our athletes to showcase their skills and to promote our great sport to new audiences, and these championships in Tbilisi will surely achieve both goals."

Ten weight categories for men and seven for women are planned across both the MMA and striking MMA disciplines.
