For years, many mixed martial arts fans have wondered aloud why their favorite sport isn’t a part of the Olympic Games.
After all, with boxing, judo, wrestling and tae kwon do already slated
as modern Olympic events, what’s the problem with adding the arts together?

international tournament staged far more frequently than every
Olympiad.
