hard yay.

why is """equestrian dressage""" ("horse dancing") an olympic sport? Remove that, instate MMA. We did it with Golf and t hey said we couldn't. But we did and it has been a resounding success.

I once i dated a girl who was hard into dressage. I have never dated an MMA fighter but i'd be open to it.

If other combat sports are, I see no reason for MMA not to be.

wrestling is an olympic sport (both freestyle and greco roman). Canada won gold in freestyle in sydney 2000. The man, Daniel Igali, I had the priviledge to meet once when he came to my highschool. Combatives is such an amazing olympic sport, id love to see MMA be an olympic sport.

We don't need MMA when we have boxing, judo, taekwondo & wrestling in the Olympics already

Is it feasible for MMA fighters to have a lot of matches over a short period of time?

IIRC those early UFC tournaments were plagued by withdrawals and alternates having to be used.

A friend of mine is far-left and an MMA fan.

I can definitely see why it would attract chuds, but its not obligatory.

Depends on how many times they get hit in the head I guess.

Oh I doubt most of the alphas who worship the sport actually train themselves. No worries there.

That leads us on to a much more pressing question.

Should they compete naked?

Simply use amateur MMA rules.
