Mergers of two black holes will end up creating a single black hole. However, the total gravitational energy of this new hole will be significantly lower than the sum of those of the two individual BHs. The resulting outburst of high energy photons may be detected as a gamma-ray burst.
This is one of the most promising theories as to why we see GRBs.
