CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY, Switzerland (July 25) -- United World Wrestling will host the Pankration and Amateur MMA World Championships for U15, U17 and U20 age groups in Loutraki, Greece from November 5 to 9.

This is the first time that UWW will be hosting an Amateur MMA event. As announced earlier, the senior Amateur MMA World Championships will be held in Novi Sad, Serbia from October 17 to 19.

After restructuring the styles, UWW decided that Pankration will be conducted for U17 and lower age-groups and Amateur MMA will be for U20 age-group. 

Following the same rule set, the Pankration World Championships to be held in Loutraki will only be for the U15 and U17 wrestlers and the Amateur MMA World Championships will only be for the U20 wrestlers.

The event will be held after the U15, U17, U20 and Veteran Grappling World Championships which will be held from November 1 to 4 at the same venue.
