No Olympics, no problem – UFC plans to create its own international tournament

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?

That’s an argument for another time and place. UFC president Dana White
has far more pressing concerns on his mind. And besides, he envisions an
international tournament staged far more frequently than every
Olympiad.
