The character of Balrog was originally named M. Bison, with the letter being an initial for "Mike". According to the staff, the character was originally a pastiche of real-life boxer Mike Tyson. Under the suggestion that the character's name and likeness resembled Tyson to the point of infringement, the developers rotated the names of the boss characters for the English localization.[1] Thus, the American boxer M. Bison became Balrog; the Spanish clawman Balrog became Vega; and the military commander Vega became M. Bison. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, Balrog tells some of his defeated opponents that he's going to "bite (their) ear off", a reference to Tyson's infamous "Bite Fight" with Evander Holyfield.

A character named Mike, who was also an African-American boxer, appears in the original Street Fighter. Although, recognized as a separate character, Mike is considered to be a prototype of Balrog due to their similar names (when one considers Balrog's Japanese name of Mike Bison) and backstories.[2]

Balrog appears in Street Fighter II as the first of four CPU-controlled opponents at the end of the single-player tournament. Balrog would become a playable character in subsequent revisions of the game, beginning with Street Fighter II ': Champion Edition. Balrog is characterized as a ghetto-raised boxer seeking the "American Dream" and one of the "Four Devas" (Shitennou "Four Heavenly Kings") of Shadaloo.

His next major appearance was in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Balrog was a CPU-controlled sub-boss in the arcade version who faced only certain characters and was only playable after certain requirements were met, but also selectable as a playable character via secret code. He was made into a regular playable character in the arcade update and subsequent home versions and given his own in-game plot, home stage and endings. This incarnation of Balrog also appears in Capcom vs. SNK and Capcom vs. SNK 2. Balrog also appears in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos.

Balrog reappears in Street Fighter IV.

@hassansherif1 Well offcourse the villians would lose in the show, it wouldn't make sense if Ryu lost to Akuma or Juri won against Chun Li in the show.
