I saw bears and gorillas today as per my mother thread.

There is no way the gorilla has a chance, sword or not.

I'm not sure the OP fully appreciates just how big a grizzly bear is.

Grizzly > Gorilla > Black Bear

Or how small the avg gorilla is.

Griz is likely 3x larger.

male gorillas 3-400 pounds
griz 400-1500

so the small female grizzlies are the same size as the big gorillas

Checkmate?

I've seen this question posed before and I think this is by far the best answer we're going to find.

Cliff's notes: Bear anywhere except in the jungle. Then it could get interesting.

Also, this is an interesting addendum.

The Californians of the late 19th century staged well-documented pit fights with grizzlies and spanish bulls. The grizzlies, using their paw as a club, shattered the unfortunate bull’s skull or shoulder bones so easily that the betting became poor.

Eventually, and at considerable cost, African lions were brought in to raise the stakes. The most fierce of the adult males was sent in whilst the grizzly was already waiting in the pits. The lion was known for bravely charging straight in and looked good for the money, but the grizzly killed a male lion almost as easily as he’d killed the bull.

1st question has been answered by experts a long while ago. Bear by far.
