Fighters who came from that region before it fragmented should be represented by the old Yugoslav flag. Same with such defunct flags as the Soviet flag, the East German flag (mostly for amateur olympians), the Imperial Russian and German flags (I'd stay far away from the Nazi flag though), the Austro-Hungarian flag, the old South African and Canadian flags etc. It's a very minor issue but I thought I'd bring it up. But, if it were possible, how could one find and download new flags into the game?

Yes, I agree. Fighters should be represented by the flag, which they fought under. I think it is important from a historical perspective and I imagine the fighters themselves would probably prefer it that way also. Not having accurate flags in the game for some of the fighters is a minor annoyance that I hope is changed with the next version of the game.
For example, Mate Parlov, when he boxed he lived in Yugoslavia and not Croatia. Same for Marijan Benes. Anyhow, I found the Yugoslavia flag in Wikipedia.
