The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hussein by DQ. Zangief, 25 cm taller and 21 kg heavier, dominates until he can't resist a Spinning Piledriver, which is a foul here. The referee disqualifies him, so Saddam wins by DQ after spending the fight covering up and wishing one of his body doubles could take the punches.
Fair fight? Legalise wrestling holds so Zangief's piledriver counts as offence, and let Saddam tag in a body double between rounds. Zangief then wins fairly, and probably dances afterwards.
