That's where The Ultimate Fighter TV show comes in. TUF gives you a chance to get to know the fighters a little bit. Rome was riffing on this today (I think). By the time one of these guys shows up at a PPV or in some other promotion, you can go "Oh, yah. I remember him. He's the one that peed on the other guy while he slept." Or "Oh, yah. He's the guy that eats that seaweed diet."
That kind of character is completely acceptable in my books. If you're hinting at guys coming out with capes and luchador masks then, for the sake of all who care about the sport, I hope you are wrong.
