Rio: Good enough for Olympics but not UFC. Why?

 WTF DANA

cities dump huge amount of money to host the olympics and most times end up losing money(according to the news). I doubt rio is giving ufc any breaks

I love how I heard how chicago has too high of a crime rate to host, yet they give the games to Rio, that makes sense.

BLAF's answer is obvious: "we're going everywhere."

WOULD BE COOL IF BJJ WAS IN THE OLYMPICS!

 Chicago is (one of)the most CORRUPT state in the USA.

Medals would be handed out like CANDY to USA olympians if it was held there lol...

Chicago is a State? Interesting.

Brazil is spoiled enough right now with the World Cup in 2014 and now the Olympics in 2016. Don't want to spoil them to much by also giving them a UFC event.

How many Olympic judges come from Chicago?

The united states of chicago is awesome

Olympics in Rio, because of politics. After the first round of voting (where chicago was eliminated) Rio was not the top vote getter. A clear sign that votes were cast for Tokyo in an effort to eliminate the USA. There is a lot of anti-usa sentiment among the voters.

IOC = More corrupt then Chicago could ever be.

Another factor was that Brazil wasn't hit hard by global reccession as other countries. And, frankly the USA didn't want the Olympics. The amount of people against it SADLY and PATHETICALLY outweighed the number who supported the Olympics. A true travesty, because the Olympics stand for everything good in the world. Competition, equality, putting differences aside for sport.

And, yes. Brazil is the most spoiled place on earth with World Cup, and now Olympics.

Poor Chicago... The Cubs, blackhawks, Bears havent won in 25 years, and now this.

"IOC = More corrupt then Chicago could ever be"

Wow, you do realize that the US hosted a ridiculous number of events. Time for others to shine.

And perhaps you don't remember but Atlanta is still recognized as the worst Olympics ever held. IMO, best ones ever were Barcelona (summer) and Lillehammer (winter).

In all fairness, the olympics stand for doping and corruption and not good things. Softball is the olympics. Softball.

Also, it's not like Brazil doesn't deserve to have the world cup, which is a far more important event. The olympics is just the icing on the big ass soccer cake.

Whatever Works - 
...... And, frankly the USA didn't want the Olympics. The amount of people against it SADLY and PATHETICALLY outweighed the number who supported the Olympics. A true travesty, ......


Dude, everyone knows whoever gets the Olympics is going to piss away millions of dollars in losses and never get it back. The the financial system here is on the verge of collapse! You seriously want the Olympics???? I'd just like to see the fuckin monetary system right itself first

Ahhh, of course...it's "anti-usa sentiment" lol.

 lol

The olympic movement is a about international unity. South America has never been host to an Olympic Games. So Rio was a logical choice.
