The Paris Olympics loom ahead, and there is a discussion on which sports can inevitably make it into the Games.
By virtue of its popularity and versatility, mixed martial arts is at the top of the list. However, there there are a lot of complications that have to be sorted out before a consolidated bid can be made to join the Olympic Games.
To avoid having to pay membership and sanctioning fees, many local promotions dub their contests as “pro-am,” which adds to the confusion. Besides, all of the biggest international mixed martial arts groups like UFC, One Championship, Brave and Bellator, focus primarily on pro bouts, to the exclusion of amateurs and even lower weight classes.

This all seems daunting, but at the end of the day all it takes is a single will to get it done.Empower yourself!
