Animal survivor tourney
 

OK, here we go. 100 foot enclosed circle. Animals somehow know they need to kill the other and fight to the death.

Seedings:

1. Lion (King of the Jungle after all)
2. Elephant (with tusks)
3. Crocodile (larger, African variety)
4. Tiger
5. Hippo
6. UFC Champion (no weapons)
7. Grizzly Bear
8. Rhino

Tough draw for the Croc in round 1. Seems the most likely upset. I think Grizzly Bear v Elephant and Hippo v Tiger could be very close and interesting too. Lion seems likely to advance.

Is it an African or Asian Elephant?

Seeding a UFC champ above a rhino is ridiculous.

African I guess. IIRC they are the bigger ones and don't they also have bigger tusks?

Maybe. The Rhinos seems very one-dimensional to me though.

Exactly African Elephants can be more than 2x the size of Asian elephants and much more aggressive.

Re: Animal survivor tourney
 

UFC champ vs. croc is kinda skewed. He knows how to beat the croc. Where as an animal that could beat the human may not be able to beat the croc. But a W is a W.

Re: Animal survivor tourney
 

The hardest choice was the Hippo or Tiger. I went with the hunting instincts of the Tiger.

Um, whichever you think is a better fighter. I did a quick search and it seems the Black might be a better fighter, but that was not totally clear.

Re: Animal survivor tourney
 

I think including the hippo is unfair. The hippo can destroy probably... ANYTHING in the hippo's natural habitat. But if the hippo is on land fighting a tiger it has no chance.

BTW the elephant is WAY too slow to beat the grizzly.

Seeding an unarmed human over any of the above animals is patently ridiculous IMO. How exactly do you suggest a 220 pound man kill a 10-foot crocodile that weighs nearly 1000 pounds??

Re: Animal survivor tourney
 

Yea, but the rhino's one dimension is being a big, bad ass rhino.

Re: Animal survivor tourney
 

A fighting bull would wreak havoc on many of these animals. Those horns would fvck shite up.

He just has to make the croc tap out I think.

Yeah, I almost changed the seeding. But I wanted the croc and tiger to be next to each other given the closeness of the other poll, in which I voted for croc.

It's like the NCAA tourney. Sometimes you get screwed by the draw. I'm guessing there are several matchups in here that would end up with a>b b>c c>a.

I stand corrected, it might be a draw.

Steve Irwin can destroy a croc and he is a fat, white, autralian. Imagine what Shamrock or Ortiz could do to one with the proper training.

Could be. I thought about adding a bull, but he just missed the cut. Maybe I should have had a "play-in game". [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm pretty sure that he's not dealing with full-grown saltwater crocodiles. Plus, it's not like he kills them. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Animal survivor tourney
 

This is quite easy,
Rhino, UFC Champ, Grizzly Bear and Hippo.
Hippo's are nasty creatures, just vicious. Why Lion over Rhino? No way Lion leaves more than a mark on Rhino. UFC Champ just pulls some Crocidile Hunter thing on him, no sweat. Grizzly and Elephant is the most interesting, I took the Grizzly just because I don't think I've ever seen an elephant get all that aggresive.

uhhh, punch it in the face and kick it in the balls?

Unarmed, I suppose you could suffocate it, maybe, but other than that, I think he would have a hard time killing it.

A hippo will not beat a tiger on land. I think a hippo is a much more fearsome creature but they are so big and heavy a tiger has them far outclassesed on land, where this tourney is taking place.

Grizzly - Elephant is an 8 vs 9 matchup. We have no 16 vs. 1 which is interesting.

Re: Animal survivor tourney
 

I thought grizzly v elephant was interesting, and I'm surprised by the current large margin in favor of the elephant.

Re: Animal survivor tourney
 

Elephants handle their own. Definatly 1rst or 2nd(in real life)

Killing becomes very interesting for the UFCC in a possible 2nd round matchup vs the elephant.

Elephant would toss him 100 yrd. Than crush him like a bug.

Not sure I know what you are asking. It's a single elimination survive and advance tourney ala the NCAA Tourney.

The man is so incredibly faster than the elephant. UFC champ goes far

Except all the players for Oakland are still alive, as opposed to the Elephant in this tournament.

I mean everyone in here is assuming the UFC champ is a big favorite over the crocodile. Crocs have been known to grow as big as 15 ft and nearly a ton. How to kill it?

Early poll results
 

#1 seed Lion in a fight for his life and has the smallest margin right now very early in the polling.

#2 seed Elephant catches a tough matchup but seems to be ok right now.

#3 seed Crocodile gets a terrible matchup and seems about to go down.

#4 seed Tiger doing better than expected against the popular dark horse pick, Hippo.
