It would be interesting if fighters had "go to moves"... moves that they attempt more often than others (and are presumably better at than others).
Some real life examples:
Cody Mckenzie and the guillotine (also Joe Stevenson)
Krzysztof Soszynski and the kimura
Siver's spinning back kick
Liddell's overhand right
Paul Sass and the triangle choke
Obviously, not every fighter should have one, but it would be (to me, at least, an interesting addition).
Also, it might be sensible to have some sort of slider associated with the frequency of attempt, so that guys can become more or less associated with moves over time (for example, I don't think Siver has thrown the spinning back kick much in his last couple of fights).
Some of this is probably covered in the styles and statistics for technique and creative offense, but I really do think that certain guys favor certain specific moves.
Soszynski, for example, often goes for the kimura and has called it his go to move before. I think he's won via a normal armbar before, but I can't think of any real evidence that he's as likely to attempt americanas as he is kimuras, even accounting for positional differences.
