Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by {{wp|Kintaro (Mortal Kombat)|Kintaro}}, a boss character from {{wp|Mortal Kombat II}}.

It is also worth noting that in Japan, the Machop evolution family is know as the きんにく "''Kinniku''" (Muscle) Pokémon. | Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler.
