    Rear naked choke, the difference between a human choke and the lions killing choke is the humans will act almost instantly as we target the arteries carrying blood to the brain instead of suffocating the animal by blocking it's air.

    If you can scare the lion it should also be counted as a victory because that's how most fights are won and lost in the wild.

    I think you should fight the lion given you seem to already know how to defeat one in a fight.

    Just reading that the average male African lion weighs in at 400 - 430 lbs. Captive animals are usually in excess of 500 lbs.
    That's fat!

    If I had a year to train then I might have the physical knowledge required to win the fight.. I shall now begin the necessary montage that will prepare me for Lion fighting... Now where did I put that headband? I can't start the montage without putting on a headband.

    Swift boot to the balls.

    Lion 0 - 1 Man.

    Realistically, the guy will die, and be eaten by the Lion. Unless of course he feeds the lion first, in which case it will probably only be interested in defending itself rather than eating him.


    Either way, I hop he dies to remove his absolute stupidity from the gene pool.

    It's a tough call on who would win but I'd put my money on the lion especially if it was a badass lion like this:

    An unarmed, unarmoured man would have practically zero chance unless the lion was sick, intoxicated or had no legs

    then it really would be lion

    I despaired of this thread when I saw a Gummy Panda urging on the fight between a lion and a man who eats rivets.

    I would rather fight a female lion. Male lion holy **** no way. Male lion will stand looking at you for 30 seconds making sure your not a elephant or a rhino. When they are happy they can win they grab and kill you. Then they may or may not eat you. No a human can't fight a lion unless you put poison all over your body. Then it would be a draw.

    I see huge potential in this venture ..... movies, stage shows, the lot (obviously with a different cast).

    Now, off to Capitol Records to do a licencing deal on the theme music, the lyrics seem appropriate:

    Lets see here. Search thread... "Paddy Power". Nope, no results. Try again. "Betting". Nothing there either. Fair play to him. 7 to 4 on favourite for the lion I'd say, until we see the man and his fighting form. But methinks he might need a bit of PR. Of course this being a male lion, everyone will go to see the mane attraction :p

    (Puns like that mean all bets are off!)

    Remind me of the Ricky Gervais podcast where they were discussing an event where a group of midgets were made fight a lion. The midgets lost.

    some lad 'Egyptian strongman Sayed Essawy' is fighting a lion today, in a few minutes. He only has a shield, I have read they are starving it to weaken it. :S
    Pretty sad. Does he even have a chance with it weakened?
