Idi Amin
“Big Daddy” · Uganda · c. 1925–2003 · about 6′4″ (193 cm), about 243 lb (110 kg)
Military dictator of Uganda from 1971 to 1979, whose regime killed an estimated 100,000 to 500,000 people. Earlier, Uganda’s national light heavyweight boxing champion for most of the 1950s.
Zangief
“The Red Cyclone” · Street Fighter · 1991 · 7′0″ (213 cm), 256 lb (116 kg)
Russian pro wrestler who trains by wrestling bears in the Siberian snow. Loves his country, his muscles and the Spinning Piledriver.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Amin by DQ. Amin, a former national light heavyweight champion, jabs away at a man 20 cm taller, while Zangief keeps lunging for the bear-hug he's used to. After three warnings, the referee disqualifies him in round two. Amin promptly awards himself the title Conqueror of Siberia.
Fair fight? Move it to a pro wrestling ring where throws are legal, so Zangief can fight the only way his bear-scarred body knows how, and Amin has to survive on rugby tackles.
