Well, to be honest, Madara did enjoy fighting very much, as you can see after he was resurrected. Different mindsets yeah, but you could draw parallels in the ways they fought and their power levels in their respective universes.

But yeah, comparisons don't make much sense. You could say that Esdeath has similarities with Hidan because both are sado/masochistic and obsessed, albeit with different things, and both kill for pleasure.
