re: UFC Fight Night - Machida vs. Dollaway - (12/20)

The workaround is to create an International Federation of MMA. It's honestly big enough, profitable enough, and competed in throughout enough countries to make a serious run at being an Olympic sport.

A sport has to have 75 countries that it is competed in to be eligible for Olympic consideration, there's a few other hurdles and the International Federation to govern the sport is the first step.

Looks like some Swedish fricks saw the money grab opportunity and took it. UFC doesn't appear to contribute financially to this thing, so it'll probably never be anything more than a leech on the MMA promotions.
