anderson silva could kill an ape his weight

 Apes kill all ungunned human prey.

Every time.

Go read the thread about the dude who fought the monkey in Thailand http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=forum_framed.posts_updsub&forum=2&thread=1694424&page=1&pc=100

He's given a hard time by a little 35lb monkey. Fuck dealing with something 5x as big.

ShadoKhan - "[A]nd that is the reason apes seem so strong relative to humans," Walker writes.

Our finely-tuned motor system makes a wide variety of human tasks possible. Without it we couldn't manipulate small objects, make complex tools or throw accurately. And because we can conserve energy by using muscle gradually, we have more physical endurance--making us great distance runners.

Great apes, with their all-or-nothing muscle usage, are explosive sprinters, climbers and fighters, but not nearly as good at complex motor tasks. In other words, chimps make lousy guests in china shops.

In addition to fine motor control, Walker suspects that humans also may have a neural limit to how much muscle we use at one time. Only under very rare circumstances are these limits bypassed--as in the anecdotal reports of people able to lift cars to free trapped crash victims.

"Add to this the effect of severe electric shock, where people are often thrown violently by their own extreme muscle contraction, and it is clear that we do not contract all our muscle fibers at once," Walker writes. "So there might be a degree of cerebral inhibition in people that prevents them from damaging their muscular system that is not present, or not present to the same degree, in great apes."

Walker says that testing his hypothesis that humans have more motor neurons would be fairly straightforward. However, he concedes that testing whether humans have increased muscle inhibition could be a bit more problematic.


so basically chimps have tard strength and tard speed

they are hairy retards with sharp fangs, Silva has no chance

Chimp strength is overrated.

With his bare hands?  No chance.  None.  Whatsoever. 

I'm an Anderson fan, but no, he would/could not.

 

Human resourcefulness is underrated.

Whats with all the man vs animal threads.....

you realize that humans are probably the absolute weakest living creatures that ever existed. Just about everything could kill us

How about Gorilla strength?

God this sport attracts some brain damaged dipshits.


Which, for some reason you feel compelled to confirm with your very presence every time.

only one of those is barehanded, it was against a small cat the size of a house cat

in the others a guy used a knife, a log, a metal spade and a rock

 dude's a beast, plain and simple.

anderson would win for sure, via ape choke. But if the monkey was allowed to bite to the groin area, things would be different.

leopard is the size of a housecat eh? he reached in and pulled it's fucking tongue out. and even if you were talking bout the ocelot, thats a long way from a housecat, fren.

Humans with knives, axes (including stone axes) and spears have killed chimps for thousands of years, driving them out of much of Africa - and this was before firearms became common.

Unarmed I'd bet on the chimp. However Anderson seems like a pretty smart guy, so I'm pretty sure he'd have some sort of weapon and win easily. Because people only fight unarmed for sport; for serious fighting humans have used weapons for at least the last 50,000 years.
