just wondering if excitement was going to be a stat cause i was just watching ufc 38 and genko sudo was very exciting with flying knees and just playing with his opponent also his ring entrance was different than the normal i dont know if you might just include that with the style or have a whole different stat nfor that

I have watched half a dozen Tito Ortiz matches and i would say that his entrances, his stare downs, his pre and post match hypes, his general attitude to everything is what make people buy his tickets, because his actual matches were usually quite boring and his strategy very prdictable (although i must say very effective). So an "excitement" or better "entertainment" factor would really describe him well.
Although probably those "entertainment skills" would have to be broken down into a few different skills (something like it was in TEW)

You could have two different stats:
Showmanship for outside the ring antics and attitude, and another (anyone think of a good name for it?) for how flashy they try to be in the ring.

this is a great idea... honestly
genki sudo is one of my all time favs and thats pretty much the reason why... along with sakuraba, caol uno, jason miller, charles bennet and many others are just very fun guys too watch in the ring because they have fun and do things that other fighters might not try to do

You also have Legends like Sakuraba who don't necessarily have the best record but cards with Sakuraba on it might sell more PPV buys or tickets.
Same thing with an "exciting" or "entertain fans/draw" rating...
