Beautiful story indeed.I think it ends in a nice story with Overeem showing them some of his Pride fights on his phone and the Gorilla being some what impressed but not overly lol.
We learned this in the 90sAre you aware that 1 on 1 hunting of most medium to large game does not favor humans? A pack of humans is the top "predator" in the world.
You don’t have to use karate kicks, just use the ancient Egyptian technique and erect a pyramid on top of it…. There would be more man on man kills than the gorilla would kill100 average men with no weapons and no fighting prowess might all get tuned up if locked in a cage with a large male. Their only chance of victory is literal exhaustion by the gorilla. Flailing arm punches and sloppy kicks wouldnt do shit to one.
Also lol @ thinking you are putting a Silverback in an RNC.

Those teeth though. I just dont see 100 average guys having the ‘fight’ mechanism and aren’t running around crying or laying in the fetal position.You don’t have to use karate kicks, just use the ancient Egyptian technique and erect a pyramid on top of it….

It can only bite one person at a time though… I missed it if anyone said there would be no human casualties or the gorilla wins.Those teeth though. I just dont see 100 average guys having the ‘fight’ mechanism and aren’t running around crying or laying in the fetal position.
The only way this gets settled is if the Japanese make it happen on a game show….It can only bite one person at a time though… I missed it if anyone said there would be no human casualties or the gorilla wins.
We could probably juice him up a bit to make the odds more even, yes.Is the silverback juiced?
A gorilla's bite force is slightly more than a Tiger and Lion, so they'd easily crush bones with not only their hands.Those teeth though. I just dont see 100 average guys having the ‘fight’ mechanism and aren’t running around crying or laying in the fetal position.
They didn't fight 5, they fought one. And simply got to the infant by volume. Nothing about damage or beating the male. In fact, it alludes to the idea that the gorilla was fucking shit up.If 27 chimps can beat five gorillas - as has been documented in 2021 - then 100 humans could definitely beat one silverback male gorilla. At the end of the day, how many people have been killed or seriously injured by gorillas compared to chimps? Gorillas aren’t about that life. Don’t listen to Bo Nickel, it’s chimps that are the true kings of Mixed Martial Apes.
I managed to track down more information about the chimp vs gorilla fights, which can be found in this 2019 article in Nature.They didn't fight 5, they fought one.

Chimps are indeed a different kind of ferocity that would fuck up any human that ever lived. But so are silverback gorillas lol. Again, 100 random dudes with no inclination for fighting, confrontation or survival in a covered cage the size of the octagon with a freaking out male silverback gorilla? I'm inclined to take the ape.
100 Ubereems is a different story, although with that glass chin I'm not so sure!!
I mean, I figured this was playing out in the octagon, or something akin to it.I managed to track down more information about the chimp vs gorilla fights, which can be found in this 2019 article in Nature.
In the first encounter after initially taking some damage ten chimps basically get the better of a silverback through repeatedly jumping up and down on him and pummelling him and he runs away.
In the second encounter the silverback doesn’t put up a fight at all, but runs away abandoning the females and youngsters he’s supposed to be protecting.
Based on this we can deduce from that silverback gorillas are cowards and probably ten Overeems would have a silverback scurrying off into the undergrowth. Yes, they have big power, but they’re all show and no go.
Details below:
Lethal encounter 1 (February 6th 2019)
At 17:01, the larger chimpanzee party (N = 18) encountered a group of gorillas (estimated N = 5; 1 silverback, 3 adult females, 1 infant) in a thicket of approximately 64 square meters. A first chimpanzee scream was followed by a succession of chimpanzee screams and barks, and gorilla barks and roars (for definition of call types). At 17:13, the silverback charged an adolescent female chimpanzee, Gia, knocking her into the air. At 17:15, a group of approximately nine male chimpanzees (adults and adolescents), and at least one adult female chimpanzee surrounded the silverback, and repeatedly jumped down on and hit him whilst screaming and barking. The silverback retreated to a distance of approximately 30 m with all other members of his group
Lethal encounter 2 (December 11th 2019)
At 12:28, gorilla barks and chest beats were heard and the team observed six additional gorillas in the tree: a silverback, two adult females with dependent infants, and one juvenile gorilla. At 12:30, the majority of the chimpanzees started to climb up into the surrounding trees, while approximately four adult male chimpanzees remained on the ground. At 12:33, the silverback discovered the human observers on the ground in a distance of approximately 30 m to the base of the tree and started barking. In response, the two observer teams increased their distance to the tree from 30 to 60 m. One adult male chimpanzee, Chenge, climbed further up the tree with the gorillas, and stopped within five meters of the silverback and one adult female gorilla with an infant (AF1 and I1). All visible gorillas started to emit alarm barks, and the silverback and the two adult females with their infants moved higher up into the canopy. At 12:36, the silverback rapidly climbed down the tree and fled. The chimpanzees continued barking but did not follow him.
