This sounds potentially interesting:
From August 27 to September 4 2010, Beijing hosts the first SportAccord Combat Games ever ...The Combat Games 2010 feature 13 martial arts and combat sports, both Olympic and non-Olympic [ including Judo, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Kendo, Taekwondo, Sumo, Karate, Aikido, Boxing, Muaythai, Wushu, Ju-Jitsu and Sambo]. "We want to support our members by giving them the opportunity to get exposure to a worldwide audience. The Combat Games offer the participating sports a unique chance to be on stage together and will bring them closer to the public, " SportAccord President Hein Verbruggen explains the strategy behind the Games.
Think of this as a World Championship-like event for combat sports. Perhaps there will be some bright young Judoka who will be the Stephen Strasburg of MMA. Is there an equivalent of Tommy-John surgery for MMA? Perhaps Shogun old lady knee surgery.
Check out the official website and the official youtube channel for highlights.

Yeah, it was Fedro.
