MMA is still years away from serious consideration as an
Olympic sport, but the recently formed IMMAF is already beginning to make its presence known with the
International Olympic Committee.
IMMAF officials today took part in the first of several planned seminars
aimed at studying martial arts and sports not currently included in the
Olympics, and the group hopes to educate IOC officials during the
meetings.
“We are very grateful for this opportunity to promote MMA in front of
the IOC and other fellow sports federations,” IMMAF official Erika Mattsson told MMAjunkie.com.
