Ulysses S. Grant
“Unconditional Surrender” · United States · 1822–1885 · 5′8″ (173 cm), about 134 lb (61 kg)
Union general who won the American Civil War, then 18th US President. Slight of build, a superb horseman, and famously calm under fire.
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)
Grant by DQ. Grant stays calm and keeps out of range while Zangief, who spends his winters wrestling bears, dances around this 61 kg general. Then the Red Cyclone can't resist and spins him into a piledriver. The referee disqualifies Zangief. Grant wins by DQ, wobbling back to his corner to light a cigar.
Fair fight? Fight at the same weight class: Zangief drops 55 kg, or Grant gains it. Either way, Zangief has to win with punches, and the dancing stays allowed.
