Who would win in a fight – grizzly bear or gorilla (poth in their prime)?

Gorillas are retarded strong, but grizzly bears have deadlier paws and teeth. At some point during the fight the gorilla definitely would stun the grizzly bear with its retard strength and probably land some licks, but I think that the gorilla eventually would get bludgeoned to death by the grizzly bear.

One way or the other, out of all of the hypothetical animal MMA matches, this is probably the one that I'd most likely buy the pay-per-view for. It would be super interesting.

This is one of those legendary hypothetical battles that people love to debate! But if we break it down scientifically, the grizzly bear would most likely come out on top.

Why the Grizzly Wins

Size & Weight – A full-grown grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis) can weigh between 600 to 1,200 lbs, while a silverback gorilla (Gorilla beringei) usually tops out at 400 to 500 lbs. That’s a big difference in raw mass.
Claws & Bite Force – Grizzlies have 4-inch claws and a bite force of 975 PSI, which can crush bones. A gorilla’s bite force is around 1,300 PSI, but it lacks the same predatory weaponry.

Durability & Stamina – Grizzlies are built for battle, capable of taking down moose and brawling with other bears. They have thick fur, a heavy layer of fat, and tough skin, giving them more natural armor than the relatively thin-skinned gorilla.

Killer Instinct – While gorillas are immensely strong, they’re more defensive and social creatures. A grizzly, especially one at its peak and sexually active (read: full of testosterone and aggression), is a predator that knows how to kill.

Why the Gorilla Might Have a Shot

Strength – Gorillas are pound-for-pound stronger than bears, with estimates saying they can lift around 1,800 lbs. If it could get a good grip on the bear’s throat or head, it could do some damage.

Intelligence – Gorillas are much smarter and could theoretically try to outmaneuver the bear, but in a raw, brutal fight, intelligence may not matter much.

Final Verdict

The gorilla is a beast, but the grizzly is a bigger, meaner, more heavily armed beast that’s evolved to handle serious fights. Unless the gorilla got extremely lucky, the bear would maul it to death.

But man, what a fight that would be.
