    Seems like Brazil 2016 is the best shot at making this happen. I wonder however if a watered down version would generate any interest once all the brutality is taken out of it. Fighters would be padded up big time to begin with. So would you be hyped up for this? Or would you not care for a watered down product?

    no thanks. mma is meant to be super violent and i think being in the olympics would tone it down too much.

    See that's my issue with this whole thing. What it would end up being would be a mess. I want some Street Fighter-type crap:
