Unfortunately most everyone who is a legit contender is bound by contracts with promoters like the UFC.

 

[Tooth and Nail]

What makes it more legit than every other promotion before it?

 

[emperor]

The only belt I recognize is the WAMMA belt.

 

[skylolow]

What a waste of time basically.

 

[glennrod]

please please PLEASE use a decent ruleset, with a name as epic as that, it better not be just another lame elbow wrasslin show :icon_neut

This is the quote that sums it up to me:

I always loved concept of WAMMA but it will never work unless all the orgs are willing to share talent to really crown a champion of MMA

This is not WAMMA, guys.
WAMMA was the "World Alliance of MMA", this is World Association of MMA.
Also, it for amateurs.

WAMMA belt all over again. Without the UFC backing your title is viewed as irrelevant. What's funny is the only two WAMMA titles (that I know of) lineal lines wind up as Anthony Pettis and Cain Velasquez.

This is not WAMMA, guys.

Well that changes things.

 

[KlNG]

This is not WAMMA, guys.
WAMMA was the "World Alliance of MMA", this is World Association of MMA.
Also, it for amateurs.

In other words..Disregard any and all interest.

 

[eiyuu]

The only belt I recognize is the WAMMA belt.

So the guy who bought the WAMMA belt on ebay is the true World Champion? Awesome!

Meh, look at their website. no US, Brazil, Japan, UK or Canada. The biggest MMA countries competung are Russia and Korea. The IMMAF one next year will be the first real world amateur MMA championship, with UFC's support and the relevant countries participating.
