I think grapplers would have a bigger advantage to strikers because they'd probably force them to wear headgear though.

It would depend on the governing body. Right now there isn't an international governing body for MMA. I would hope that if one is formed they would keep the rules similar to what we see in UFC/Pride.

I think making them wear headgear would limit choke moves. Judo doesn't wear headgear, but, then again, they don't punch.

They should eliminate elbows, I hate how people get cut up. I hate it even more when they do it on purpose like Cain did to Bigfoot. That was brutal.

Dana actually spoke about mma and olympics, he said the fighters almost always could only fight once. Facial bruising or any cut gets you medically suspended. and MMA with their small gloves, knees and kicks almost everyone gets a medical suspension every pay per view.
