I think India would be a natural ally of the USA, I'm not sure why we haven't embraced them more to counter balance China's rising power.
Lets try to get this back to the original issue, shall we?
IN regards to MMA and combat sports the fact is that India has a long and very distinguished history in "combat sports" in particular wrestling.
Regardless of their involvement at the international sport competitive level, their history is full of martial arts history.
