Just to change the topic a bit.
But I Was thinking about this the other day.
No way this happens without amateur level protective gear. Thus, it would be lame.
Thank u for reading.

The most likely scenario would be Pankration rules which are lame compared to Unified MMA.

I'd almost rather BJJ become an Olympic sport. Like you said, too watered down and the fighters would be wasting time with that shit

If wrestling and boxing are Olympic sports then BJJ deserves it too.

The kind of MMA that would be in the Olympics
The rules are weird, kind of like Rings.
