The deal covers seven events, including the next major GMC event number 15, which will be held on June 30 in the Ratiopharm Arena, Ulm.

The GMC events are known for their spectacular matches, where fighters who have gone on to feature in the American MMA organisation UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) have emerged.

The events are broadcast at ranfighting.de and on the internet as well as on TV via pay-per-view.

Tipbet advertises as main sponsor in the TV-relevant area in the middle of the ring and will be represented in numerous areas on the Octagon.

GMC owner Deniz Hacıabdurrahmanoğlu said: "We are delighted to have found a partner like Tipbet Sportwetten, who believes in the authenticity and quality of the GMC product and supports it. We are convinced that the event will provide additional value for all involved."

Philippos Naskos, product manager at Tipbet, said: “We have been following the GMC and its career as a mixed martial arts institution in Germany for quite some time, so we decided to start a partnership. We want to move the product forward and be part of this success, broadening our sponsorship portfolio with an MMA product and further expanding our brand awareness in Germany."
