    Who in After Hours humble opinion would win in a fight to the death between 42 UFC Fighters and a wild African Lion in its prime???

    No weapons,
    No time limit,
    Unlimited space......

    I will post my thoughts on it in awhile, just curious to see what everyone thinks.


    Z.O.D!!!

    Neither. It would be declared a stalemate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    The foo fighters would win imo.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Going on the far-fetched premise that all of the UFC fighters are willing to die for this ridiculous bet, I believe they would win, but only using strictly applied team tactics and with several deaths guaranteed.

    there would be only about 4 deaths maximum and the 38 ufc fighters left would control the lion, in terms of tactics, i would nominate Brock lesnar to rear naked choke the lion while the rest of the fighters held the lion in place

    EDIT: ^^^ let me reiterate, they were midgets! Big difference! No pun intended!

    A wild and boastful African Lion I'd presume.

    This question came up randomly lastnight between me and my mates, If....in some far away land where no rules or common sense applied and this match was actually allowed to go ahead I believe the lion would destroy them all but one of my mates was adament that the UFC Fighters would win....just seeing what other people think.

    How would you define "a win" ?

    Certainly I'd expect at least 3 or 4 of the UFC fighters to get a serious mauling while the rest of them try keeping the lion down.

    I doubt they'd be able to choke the lion out, his neck would be too wide.

    As horrific as this sounds, their only chance would be to attack the lions eyes.

    Lion would win easily imo

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    The Cambodian Government allowed the fight to take place, under the condition that they receive a 50% commission on each ticket sold, and that no cameras would be allowed in the arena.

    The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.

    Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they “… could out-wit and out-muscle [it].”

    Unfortunately, he was wrong.

    That is just bloody fantastic :D

    Or pound the top of it's head, Lions have weak skulls, as proven by several lion vs. Bear fights.

    Im not taking part in this ridiculous thread.

    Can't.....resist.

    Punching a healthy 600 pound lion in the jaw would be like a grown man getting a punch from a toddler. Kicking the lion square in the face would just piss it off.

    I think if the 42 ufc fighters had a well worked out plan to rush & restrain the animal How would they kill it? Strangle it?

    I think human nature (which is the brain saying; jesus christ run, run away from this clawed killing machine. run fast) would be our downfall & the giant cat would wrestle each man one by one to the ground, fatally wounding or killing each opponent with precision teeth work & would inevitably win.

    Lion wins. Just about. If it was 2 lions, no contest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,027 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    If the UFC fighters all worked together, I'd go with them with about 20 dead/injured.I'd imagine though that after seeing a bunch of them get ripped apart, a lot would start to run away and the lion would win

    Only problem is there is no bear in the scenario :D

    Lion easily beaten. Kick it in the head as it lunges toward you, job done.

    (Lions have weak skull bones)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    Also if it was a situation where it was an alpha male lion & he thought these ufc fighters were a threat to the pride, the lions fight-to-the-death protective instincts would kick in & may god have mersey on the lads.

    Its been recorded that male lions can kill gigantic african buffalo's that can weigh near 1 metric ton so i reckon a human being would be very easily dealt with.

    Half of these ufc fighters would probably leg it after seeing the other half of the group being mauled. I would.

    Again instinct would dictate the outcome. Lion: Kill. Human: run away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,996 ✭✭✭✭billymitchell


    What did the lion say to piss of 42 UFC fighters???

    Here, nobody mentioned it was scouse UFC fighters. that changes everything.

    Why 42 other than that it's the answer to life the universe and everything etc?

    Its just the figure that was used lastnight....

    Personally I cannot see how the lion could lose, I know tactics have been mentioned before but as soon as the lion has a taste of blood and see's 30 odd lads running at him there is going to be only one winner here....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,454 ✭✭✭mink_man


    I think the UFC fighters would die, the lion would be celebrating his victory and then Trent would come and give the lion a scissor kick to the back of the head and kill it, Trent said it himself it would kill a lion. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭johnmcdnl


    I'd see the lion winning because - if any of the fighters get any form of a bite from a lion there out for the rest of the fight...

    unless the UFC fighters could time jumping on the lion all at once they won't have a hope...

    any of the fighters holding the lions mouth would be mauled and then the lions free head would give it enough momentum to break free I'd say

    I just can't see how the lion would loose as once the first couple of Fighers were taken out then the reduced number of fighters would be on the underfoot against the lion..

    I dunno how the fighters would manage to kill or disable the lion so eventually the lion would get free and a swipe from an angry lion would kill anyone so the lion would win whatever way the fight went

    Nah, Brock would take the lion on his own!

    The lion wins hands down!
    Its like 42 sheep bum rushing a lion, But if 42 ufc fighters had clubs........... The lion gets an ass kicking. The problem is that humans DON'T have any defence at all. The lion has plenty!

    A well armed and highly skilled SAS team can overcome 200+ idiots with guns!

    No injuries or death tho. It'd just be a lot of sissy-slapping by the two of them until the pair finally quit from exhaustion. Worse still their wailing and gasping would prob be recorded and auto-tuned into a new hit record.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Noopti


    Lion...always

    Exactly.

    Any of the humans that recieved a bone crushing bite, in the leg, arm, head is fcuked. Massive blood loss would immediately disable the victim within seconds.
    If they get bitten in the neck, skull or chest (punctured lung) - death.

    If the ufc guys had basic weapons like knives & swords yes they would eventually kill the lion but just using bare hands not a chance.

    Solitary male lions have been known to scare off packs of hyenas with their ferocity, a couple of squishy humans? pah!!:rolleyes: In the world of trump cards Lion scores high with; 2 inch long claws on all paws, huge jaw structure with teeth evolved to rip that can exert 700lbs (thats the weight of 5 men) of pressure upon contact, massive muscle composition.
    Humans: ......if they have weapons they can kill anything. Bare handed we're puny.

    Somebody started a thread about a gorilla vs mike tyson a few weeks ago? Its was funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,081 ✭✭✭Fromvert


    Sacrifice two of the fighters by letting the lion maul them, while the lion is distracted the other 40 could jump on him.
