12 Untrained Strongmen vs a Silverback Gorilla. Which side wins?

[minute bull]

Put the worlds smartest chicken in a cage with the worlds dumbest lion and see what happens.

That's no comment on this hypothetical scenario. I just like that quote. Carry on.

Yes I believe that was Rorion Gracie, and what happened?

Ohhhhh just a little thing called the UFC.

in the end none of the strongmen will want to brutally die and be the sacrificial lambs to distract the gorilla. Without that they have no chance. Gorilla will maul and kill them all.

The situation as presented by the TS doesn't state that the strong men are in the fight against their will. They are there to fight. They would choose to work together or get picked off one at a time.

 

[minute bull]

Untrained. You do realize the strongman's mental expertise is all protein shake based.

they are 12 men trapped in the octagon vs a gorilla. Whether they chose to be there or not is irrelevant. Any "gameplan" that 12 unarmed men can devise will go out the window once the first victim's head is ripped off his body.

The only possible strategy would be using the corpses of the dead as some kind of shield or weapon. I dont know if clubbing the gorilla with the arm of your teammate breaks the rules, but it might give them a 2% better chance of surviving.

Most humans, especially grown men know how to grab someone, hold them down or throw some basic punches and stomps. They don't have to be training with Greg Jackson to know how to fight. Untrained people have been fucking people up in fights since the beginning of time.

I like the arm idea. Maybe distract the gorilka whilena couple guys fashion the severed arm into a mini spear.

there should be more than enough time to accomplish a task such as this. i mean, how long could't it possibly take to fashion a severed arm into a spear?

 

[minute bull]

Not less than six hours before rigor mortis. You already gave birth to a half gorilla within that space of time. SCIENCE.

 

[platfox]

You're right. If they can distract him for even longer, I say they fashion a bow and arrow out of the first dead guy's bones. Would ligaments make a good enough string for the bow? Hmmm. Good thinking mate.

they might not be able to use the ligaments, but if there was enough time to dry out the intestines just a little...

if they were quick enough to catch the flying teeth, they could also use them as slingshot ammo.

nice av btw.

Gorillas are extremely strong, but are they really violent? I mean, like chimpanzees, which can gough your eyes out and rip your arms just for the hell of it?

Nope, a chimp would put up more of a fight. When confronted by a mob of 12 guys who are a similar size to the gorilla he'd definitely run.

Can you show me any example eva of a gorilla removing the limbs of anything? Gorilla's are vegan wusses. Super strong vegan wusses who'll get their eyes gouged out by the strongmen.

Gorilla's are known to be killed by 130lb leopards in the wild.

Thank you. I can't wait to see what the home planet of the Engineers looks like.

oh, they are doing another one? sweeeeeeet.

I can't believe how many people are picking the gorilla. You have 12 humans. 12 humans that have peak human strength. The 12 humans come from a species that have designed satellites and put a remote control car on Mars. Oh, this species is also the most violent species on the planet. They can figure out a way to outsmart an animal that's biggest intellectual break through is shoving a stick in a hole to make an ant popsicle. There is no way the gorilla is the last man standing.

Did the strongmen lifting weights 24/7 put that remote control car on Mars? Sounds like you're saying every human has the same level of intelligence. That's got nothing to do with a fight to the death in an octagon.

Did everyone forget the OP? Fight to the death with no weapons in a "larger octagon". This isn't in a forest where they can go and hide and plan something or create some improvised weapon.

Strongmen have no chance.

So Gorilla's can be killed by leopards. Are humans leopards? Humans will never have the type of weapons predators like that have, the teeth, claws, agility. It's not a good comparison.

I think you get my point. Humans are a lot smarter than a gorilla. The humans have an ability to at least game plan where as the gorilla just goes (for a lacknof a better term) ape shit and starts running around.

Wait. You lost me.
