    submission grappling is WAY more realistic as becomming an Olympic sport, but even that I don't see happening for AT LEAST another 30 years, and probably longer than that.

    The only thing accurate about both sub grappling and or MMA becoming Olympic sports is "one day" i am sure one day both will but nobody knows how far or soon for sure.

    However the exiting thing is that the discussions are being had, that MMA is in the minds of the Olympic comity and the press are being reprogrammed.

    Thanks to the IMMAF the perceptions are being changed from barbaric "cage fighting" to the sport of "mixed martial arts"

    Our fighters are being scene as athletes rather than thugs.

    This for me above all is the great thing about this press release.

    Yeah that was my first thought too.

    MMA has much more chance than jiu-jitsu or nogi. Any submission event would see Brasil win every medal... maybe USA would take 1 or 2.

    Do you do this on purpose to hide your identity? If you're not then I'm not knocking your intelligence at all, you've proved your intelligence on plenty of occasions and seem to have a good education looking at the way you write. I don't even know where I'm going with this to be honest lol. I just find it strange. Not being a grammar Hitler either, you are clearly making your point anyway, that's the main thing

    (It should be 'seen' not 'scene' BTW, nearly forgot to mention!!)

    the summer olympics will be maxed out at 28 sports again in 2016 with rugby and golf. the charter prevents more than 28 summer olympic sports. So something will have to be dropped for something else to get added. And I can think of about 15 sports that will get added before MMA will be.

    If BJJ went in as submission wrestling, it could be put under the sport of wrestling, and just be added as another discipline of wrestling.

    The great thing about Johnyboys posts is that even though I have never heard his voice I can hear him saying it as I read it.
