MMA & the Olympics

NOT A CHANCE - The sport needs to be cleaned-up. Most bouts end-up being wrestling matches with one difference - one of the competitors
often punches away at an opponent when the opponent is resting on his back. Too many bouts end in one or two rounds.

at least with pro wrestling we know or should know it is pure entertainment that does not end
after a matter of minutes.

why not? one of the best local mma fighter in the philippines competes in wushu which is included in asian games (asian olympics) they also want it to be included in olympics.

uhm wrestling is included in the olympics right? so is boxing, taekwondo, judo and many other sports. all of which is being practiced or used in mma. so i dont see why mma shouldnt be included in the olympics.
