No it would have to be so watered down that it would not even resemble what you see in the UFC. Also it would no be fair to sprts already looking for acceptence, some that hve been waiting for as long as the UFC has been around.

Answer 3

it proably will but at that point it will no longer be the mma u are used to seeing on the ufc, or pride, it will become a more of something known as Pankration, which is practiced around the world and is reffered by many as amateur mma its basically a grappling match with limited forms of striking, punches, kicks, and knees all to the body when u both are standing and only punches to the body when ur on the ground, it will be very watered down form of the mma u normal see on tv, its sort of going to be like olympic boxing now a days where its more important to hit a opponent with the white part of the glove then it is to hurt them  

Answer 4

i hope not

Answer 5

it may because many countries study martial arts but it wouldn't be anything like you see in UFC or Pride or EliteXC. They will most likely have protective gear like headgear and shin pads as well as gloves because look at pro boxing in the US and look at olympic boxing. Same thing just with martial arts most likely.

Answer 6

I hope so! I'm a teenager who has been studying MMA for 4 years now, and I currently hold the National Title for the International Budo Arts Association (I am hoping to keep that title this year as well!). I would sincerely love to make it into the Olympics for this, and so I'm behind it all the way!!!
