Most videogame appearances by a real-life martial artist

Bruce Lee – founder of Jeet Kune Do, much-loved film star and the man hailed as the “Godfather” of mixed martial arts, who died tragically aged just 32 in 1973 – had posthumously starred in 13 videogames as of 1 March 2018. As well as featuring in five games bearing his name (including the classic 1984 action-platformer Bruce Lee and the 2010 iPad fighter Bruce Lee: Dragon Warrior HD), he popped up in the likes of 1997’s Virtual Pro Wrestling 64, and in the first two EA Sports UFC games. Although not on the basic roster of characters in 2018’s EA Sports UFC 3, he is still available for it: EA Sports UFC 3 owners can download him as a free bonus character if they own EA Sports UFC or UFC 2, and he also unlocks in EA Sports UFC 3 if you complete its "Career Mode". The legend lives on.
