Hey /sp/
How much longer until MMA becomes an olympic sport?
If it does will Fedor break Phelps record in one day of competition or two?

He'll break it in one day...along with breaking his hand for the 9000th time.

Other than that, china could never dominate, so it will never be accepted.

ESPN is pretty old school when it comes to sports coverage though. They refuse to air any motorsports other than nascar clips and NHRA dragracing. No F1, MotoGP, AMA, WSBK, ALMS, or anything. You'll get the occasional Indy coverage if Danica was wearing a tight shirt, that's about it.

And I'm pretty sure they've been airing some team MMA series that sucks. All the teams are named either the sharks or the tigers and the entirety of every fight is homosexual hugging on the ground. shit sux.

It will never happen. Look at how much padding and safety gear tae kwon do competitors are forced to wear.
Same in boxing, you have to wear headgear and heavyweight size gloves no matter your weight class.

They will never allow an event where knees and kicks to the unprotected head are encouraged and 8 ounce gloves are the norm.

I would much rather have submission wrestling in the olympics.

i'm not interested in mma with gigantic gloves and headgears and so on...

I often wonder why people talk like they know things when they obviously don't
