Some days I'm glad to live in an advanced society, and some days I want to see 12 humans fight to the death against a silverback gorilla.

And all days are both.

This isn't about what's good for our free population, this is about what's good for the match.

to those suggesting the humans hold him down or get a hold of his limbs, look at the circumference of his arms/forearms, then of the speed and force that the SB gorilla can generate and move with to shake them off of him. Would be like an adolescent chic trying to hold on to a mechanical bull. Even if we were to assume that 2+ humans could hold on to the SB's arm, it would bite it off in a second. I agree on this essentially being a "how many humans can a gorilla rip apart before it dies of exhaustion" scenario.

The gorilla would just own the body builders.

Gorilla wins.

I mean do you remember what Travis the chimp did to that lady?

(Sound NSFW) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgS0KgT5APc

Animals don't **** around, they are brutal.
That gorilla is just chilling and casually drags around a pretty tall guy like its a plastic bag. I think if he is angry he can toss a guy around with one arm. Also, he pretty much has 4 arms. Gorilla wins by a landslide, as long as it understands the concept.

2-3 of the bodybuilders could do the same.

SB Gorilla:
height: 5.5ft
weight: 400lbs.
2 inch canines

judo chop?

It would take more people than you can fit in the space around a single limb to hold down a single limb.

Plus any organization you have will go out the window as soon as some guy gets thrown 30 feet.

Did they have tranquilizer guns?

Otherwise they'd be back where we started. Bunch of guys trying to fight a silverback so a bunch of guys can fight a silverback?

you guys are severely underestimating how much a kick to the groin hurts a gorilla.

How long are the 12 bodybuilders together in the cage for pre-fight. If it was for a decent level of time couldn't they all come to the conclusion that "yeah, we is ****ed".

Given that knowledge, couldn't one of the bodybuilders give his life to allow the other 11 to use his shattered bones as spears, stabbers. 11 of them with bone shards would help their chances no end.

Plus gorillas have very tiny peens and chances are the kicker will miss and get ripped apart.

I dunno - 12 guys is a lot of mass for the gorilla to deal with

if you just rush it and get it down and take out its eyes and decimate his junk you have a real shot

I'd set the line at -300 gorilla

I think if 5 of them tried to jump the SB at once it will just spring up and send them flying, then proceed to charge at an isolated person and rip him in half instantly.

There's just too much raw strength to deal with. IMO the SB walks away with mild injuries at most, and the 12 dudes are in at least 36 pieces.

maybe, but you know the gorilla will dominate the first 3/4 of the fight while tebow lands like 2/16 strikes

4) They begin pawing, grooming, caressing the now-quiescent gorilla, positioning themselves all the while.
5) At a prearranged signal by the team leader, each fighter springs into action.
6) The gorilla returns to alertness only to discover that each of his limbs is pinioned between two fighters who've locked themselves around it. Then someone bites off his penis.
7) The rest is purely medical and doesn't require elaboration.

This thread has been very educational. I learned a lot about silverback gorillas. I also learned that there are some naive/foolish people ITT. I even learned that David Sklansky has his own special sub-forum.
