Since MMA is a rapidly growing sport i was thinking maybe it could be an Olympic sport. There is probably no time to get it on the next summer Olympics in 2012 b/c i think it has to get an approval of an Olympic committee. I for one would love to see it in the 2016 summer olympics. Do you agree.
Could MMA become an Olympic Sport By 2016

Doubtful
there’s A LOT of issues that would have to be ironed out before MMA were to become an olmpic sport…I’m not sure they could do it all within 6 years.

Hopefully Ju-Jitsu Will become an Olympic sport in 2016. I don’t see MMA ever becoming an Olympic sport. And think of how lame Olympic MMA would be. Look how crappy Olympic Boxing is. Imagine that onlt 3 times worse.
![From MMAJunkie.com:
Strikeforce heavyweight and former NFL great Herschel Walker (1-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) suffered a deep cut in training and has been forced to withdraw from next month's "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" event.
Strikeforce officials today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Featuring a light heavyweight matchup between Dan Henderson and Renato "Babalu" Sobral, "Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu" takes place Dec. 4 and airs on Showtime.
"I feel terrible about this," Walker stated in today's official release. "I know things like this happen in all sports, but I had trained very hard and was excited to be returning to the cage again."
Walker had been expected to face one-time WEC veteran Scott Carson (4-1 MMA, 0-0 SF).
According to Strikeforce officials, a Daniel Cormier knee strike opened a "deep cut under [Walker's] left eye that required multiple stitches"...
Despite the setback, Walker said he hopes to return to action quickly.
"I hope to fight again as soon as the cut heals," Walker said.](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/161814/herschel-walker-2_small.jpg)
