I really hope MMA becomes an Olympic sport eventually. I know it's a longshot, but it would instantly become one of the top 3 sports I'd watch.

I am actually surprised if the IOC doesn't consider it at some point, as it would bring in HUGE money. With the Olympic's being so taxing on a governments economy, they really need to consider allowing the more popular sports to complete. There are a bunch of Olympic events that no one under the age of 40 would even watch, they should just get rid of those altogether.

But I guess MMA wouldn't really go well with what the Olympics are setting out to achieve.
