boofhead71 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'll be rooting for George Sotiropoulis. I don't think he has much chance, looking at the competition, but at least he can go down fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorlami Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Great idea, but I think you should limit the number of fighters per country. At lightweight for example, 10 of the 16 are American. Not really 'Olympic Games'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayT23 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 FYI, Ivan Menjivar was born in El Salvador and Gegard Mousasi was born in Iran and is Armenian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 FYI, Ivan Menjivar was born in El Salvador and Gegard Mousasi was born in Iran and is Armenian. Several Olympians were in fact born in another country. Just check their history. Mousasi might as well naturalize if there was ever to be an Olympics for grappling/MMA/pankration.
