Wandering martial artist who lives only for the next fight. Master of the Hadoken, which he has been asked to leave at home tonight.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Launched wars on Iran and Kuwait and brutally crushed opposition at home. Found hiding in a hole near Tikrit in 2003 and executed in 2006.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Ryu by TKO. Saddam struts out like he's still opening a palace, but Ryu's already living in the next fight and starts firing Tatsumaki kicks before the bell even settles. By round two, Saddam's covering up and looking for a body double who isn't there; his corner mercifully stops it.
Fair fight? Let Saddam bring in one of his rumored body doubles to soak up round one.
