Let's say for example they would let the UFC fighters participate, it's quite simple. Champion and top 15 are in the games, 3 five minute rounds, with the gold/bronze medal fight's being 5 and 5. Dana White would never go for it in a million years because it would water down the UFC fights and he wouldn't get a cent from the IOC + no pay per view money. Oh yeah, no pressers to hype it, no weigh in's, no epic intros, no Bruce Buffer ringside intros, and no cage side interviews with Rogan afterwards. NBC would have Rogan as a commentator in a heart beat though.
What's up with the timer?
They would fight with ammy rules, helmets, pads, 3 minutes rounds, no elbows, no head shots on the ground, no stomps, no soccer kicks

Thanks to her appearances on YouTube and British reality television show Britain’s Got Talent, where reached the final round, McParland has arguably become more famous than many professional kickboxing athletes, allowing her to become a trademark for WAKO.
Her role as a WAKO/WAKO PRO Ambassador at this year’s SportAccord has certainly got heads turning.
In a world where so many ambassadors and representatives are grey-haired men, the site of a 12-year-old girl with blonde hair representing a sport is unique.
McParland revealed her ambitions are to compete in the Olympics for Ireland, but says she would consider a career in stunt-acting.
WAKO say that, whatever decision McParland decides to make, she will have the full backing of the organisation.
"The essence of our working in the athletes’ programme is to take care of our athletes after they finish their competitive career,” WAKO representative Marijana Pelević says.
"When you are 30 and have given your life to sport and then you suddenly stop competing and you don’t know what to do – this is a problem all over the world.
"But now, in this age, as for JJ, she has her whole life in front of her and she can decide if she wants to compete in the future."
Later on in the evening, McParland went on to wow onlookers in a kickboxing demonstration at the Thai Sports Festival, taking place outside the Centara Convention Centre here in the Thai capital.
