Should MMA be an Olympic sport?

I've pondered this question for quite some time now. Some experts say the sport is too brutal and not truly a sport but a violent spectacle. Others say it is too commercial to be taken seriously. Dana White of the UFC, however, says that it's really only a matter of time before MMA is accepted into the Olympics because no other combat sport shows the type of drive and tenacity quite like mixed martial arts. I don't know if I agree 100% with either side of the debate, but I do know that I would like to see mixed martial arts in the Olympics because it's just such a dynamic and physically demanding sport like boxing or taekwondo.

Would be happy to hear what others think of this issue, points of view, etc.

Peace.
