“We have been working on this process for three, four, five years, but we should become an Olympic sport. We definitely should. There we have Judo, which uses submissions and chokes. There is Boxing, in which you can punch the body and head. There is also Taekwondo, where kicks and punches are allowed. Everything we do is already in the Olympic Games, so it makes sense”, Dana told the North American “ESPN”.

Although MMA is not part of the modalities that make up the games, several UFC fighters have had the opportunity in the past to compete in the Olympics, including those who won several medals. Check out the gallery below
