and with shit like UFC fighters, why? why settle for something as boring as that when you already got the most boring character in MKX, Jacqui Briggs?

it's MK for god's sake, let's have more unique chars like D'Vorah and Kotal Kahn. maybe even concepts similar to those old comics with like a fuckin mutant Shokan or something. Well it's an Earthrealm faction that wants Earthrealm to have nothing to do with this sort of stuff. This is something I could see happen in reality if something as crazy as MK was real. And before you say it's fiction, firstly, I know it's fiction, but all fiction comes from reality and must have at least some sort of footing in it. a UFC fighter is so incredibly boring, though. especially for an Earthrealm fighter.

hell, even fuckin Liu Kang is from Earthrealm and he is way more interesting than any UFC guy could ever be. I picked UFC because I wanted something that had not yet been used yet. But you might be pleased to know that just now, I found another fighting style that might be more interesting. Pankration, a martial art from Greece. Greek athletes and soldiers in the ancient era were trained in it and it involves using your bones and muscles as weapons. You could snap a neck by twisting the victim's neck with your ankles, or break a muscle with your elbow bone, or strangle them with just your arms. In ancient Greece, Pankration games had almost no rules and you were even allowed to gouge out you're opponent's eyes. Today there ARE rules in Pankration tournaments but it is still taught today for self defense purposes. That... is obscenely cool.
