    personally , i don't give a **** though.
    I'd rather see mma fighters giving greco wrestling or judo a try , representing their countries and try to win a medal this way...(it adds prestige to their career resume even if it's a different discipline)..

    It's not an impossible dream. Afterall , Lindland is a olympic silver medalist winner in greco. Nastula , Yoshida are both olympic gold winners

    The olympics don't deserve it, too corrupt and political.

    There would have to be major rule changes due to cuts and concussions, theres no semblance of the national championships needed for olympic sports, they just aren't generally a good fit for each other, it would be nice if somehow they were though.

    IMO the summer olympics should be shrunk in the area of track and field, and swimming. They don't need a million variables of that crap when many fighting sports can't even send full rosters
