Kings of Combat database suggestions

[jw80daddy]

Not entirely sure if this is the correct place to post this, but anyway. I've been working on a database that is made up of the greatest combat sport athletes, martial artists, and badasses in history. I have added guys from clear back in antiquity to the modern day. Figured I'd ask the forum community on here for any suggestions for fighters (and other character types, announcers, etc.). As well as other odds and ends, such as different companies or teams. I have a 'skeleton list' of different fighters I haven't added yet. No fictional fighters or characters...although if one played this, it would be in a fantasy world where all these guys are in their prime at the same time. Thus far I haven't set up any companies, or tested a save game. Just been doing quick fights to test the fighters out.

 

Here's a list of who I've added so far, as well as their base fighting style:

 

Abe Lincoln- Rough and Tumble Wrestling (Yeah, there's a few added for fun.)

Aleksandr Karelin- Greco-Roman Wrestling

Aleksandr Medved- Freestyle Wrestling

Anderson Silva- Muay Thai / BJJ

Anton Geesink- Judo

Arrichion of Phigalia- Pankration

Bill Wallace- Full-Contact Karate

Bruce Baumgartner- Freestyle Wrestling

Bruce Lee- Jeet Kune Do

Buvaisar Saitiev- Freestyle Wrestling

Carlos Gracie- BJJ

Chuck Norris- Karate

Diagoras of Rhodes- Ancient Boxing

Donald Dinnie- Scotch-Style Wrestling

Euclydes Hatem- Luta Livre / Catch Wrestling

Fedor Emelianenko- Sambo

Frank Gotch- Catch Wrestling

George Foreman- Boxing

Georges St-Pierre- MMA

Hakuho Sho- Sumo

Helio Gracie- BJJ

Jack Dempsey- Boxing

Jim Jeffires- Boxing

Joe Lewis- Full-Contact Karate

John L. Sullivan- Bare Knuckle Boxing

Jon Jones- MMA

Khabib Nurmagomedov- Sambo

Lenny McLean- Bare Knuckle Boxing

Mas Oyama- Kyokushin Karate

Masahiko Kimura- Judo

Mike Tyson- Boxing

Milo of Croton- Ancient Wrestling

Mitsuyo Maeda- Judo

Muhammad Ali- Boxing

Rickson Gracie- BJJ

Rocky Marciano- Boxing

Royce Gracie- BJJ

Teofilo Stevenson- Boxing

Theagenes of Thasos- Ancient Boxing / Pankration

Waldemar Santana- Luta Livre / BJJ

Yasuhiro Yamashita- Judo

 

Not sure if I personally will ever start a save on this database or just do 'what if' type match ups in quick fights. Ratings, skills, and attributes are of course subjective (especially the ancient guys ). But it's been fun creating and testing them out.

We think alike, and I'd love to play your database!

 

I'd add a few lighter-weight boxers, like Benny Leonard and Marvin Hagler. Also maybe some American football players who'd be good at takedowns (tackles).
