"Challenges" might be interesting! Maybe there could be a stat or money penalty if a warrior issues a formal challenge to you before a match (Maybe call it an "Honor Match" or something like that..hmm).

Excellent idea. One suggestion would be to have the challenge directed at your best fighter. If anyone else is sent in instead than there could be some sort of penalty. Otherwise a reward of such could be offered of something along the lines of reduced high-end advertising rates. This would offer good incentive to accept the challenge even if your best fighter might not be good enough to win but still might have a chance.

Sometimes it seems best to send in a scrub because the opponent is way too good. This would change the perspective around a bit in those cases where your top fighter would really pull it off if he fights at his best. Instead of sending in the scrub you might take a shot and hope for the best. As long as the risk vs reward ratio was balanced properly of course.
