Anyone who is comparing human strength with that of Gorilla is a complete fool and absolutely ignorant. Gorillas have strength that is of a freakish nature and not only would a Gorilla rip limb from limb Federenko but they would rip limb from limb ten Federenkos or ten MMA fighters, to even remotely consider the possibility of a human defeating this wild freakishly powerful animal is absolutely stupid and is a confirmation that no one who suggested such a thing has a clue as to how powerful and superior in terms of strength to humans they really are. The thought of any MMA fighter UFC fighter or any human being no matter how strong or how much they benchpress defeating a male Silver Back Gorilla is utterly stupid of the trailer park red neck variety.
A Gorilla is estimated to have the strength of 30 men, one Gorilla expert who raises them said they have strength that he has never seen in any other animal pound for pound he estimates that one Gorilla has the strength of about 7-8 olympic lifters a modest estimate, one olympic lifter can hoist 4-500 pounds over his head fairly easily.
Another expert said they are able to flip a car with one arm, simply put a Gorillas primary weapons are his bite force, which is stronger than even the big cats, and his prodigious strength not to mention that fact that he really has four hands and his intelligence.
If the Gorilla gets on his back and gets his arms around the Grizzlies neck he would easily snap his neck like a twig, end of fight, this is how I believe it would play out if the Gorilla who has the intelligence to avoid the bears primary weapon, which is his paws and maneuvers behind him or wrestles him until he is positioned behind him, the bear is in a world of trouble.
The Gorilla has advantages in virtually every other dept, he is stronger, smarter, his bite force is much greater, he is more agile, and he has four very powerful hands that could easily restrain and even break the bears limbs, and if the gorilla was to get his hands in the mouth of the bear from the rear or the front the bears jaws would be ripped apart easily.
Another Gorilla handler said that if a Gorilla gets his hands around you, you are not getting away no matter what you are, they are that powerful, they really have unearthly strength.
If the Gorilla can avoid the bears paws which he has the intelligence to do, there is no other way the Grizzly could win he would be overmatched in strength, bite force, agility, grappling, intelligence, he would be at a major disadvantage grappling because he does not have any hands, completely outmatched in every other dept, the Grizzlies only chance would be to get a swipe in which would be difficult to do, this fight would eventually turn into a grappling contest where they would be tussling with each other which is advantageous for the Gorilla,once they engage its all Gorilla in my opinion he would overpower the Grizzly and break his neck, arms, and jaws.
Not to mention if the Gorilla were to bite the Grizzly at the base of his skull he could easily snap his neck and kill it as well, all of which the Gorilla has the intelligence to do. A full grown silver back gorilla is no easy win for any animal the only chance he has is to get a swipe in and that is not a guarantee because of the Gorillas thick bone mass and density.
Advantages Of Each Animal
The Gorilla Could:
1.Break his neck like a twig and kill him
2.Rip his jaws apart and kill him
3.Break his limbs and cripple him.
4.Bite his neck and snap his spine
5.Get him in a head lock and break his neck and choke him to death.
The Grizzly Could:
1.Possibly swipe the Gorilla and kill him, but that is not a guarantee.
2. Try to bit the gorilla but he does not posses enough bite force to deter the Gorilla a Gorilla could easily break a Grizzlies bite by placing his hands in his mouth and separating his jaws at which point he could easily rip the Grizzlies jaws apart like twigs. Gorillas break 4-5inch Bamboo like it is thread if you don't know, Bamboo is one of the strongest building materials. Bamboo has a tensile strength of 28,000 per square inch. Compare that to tensile strength of steel, 23,000 per square inch, and you can begin to understand how powerful a full grown silver back is.
Bamboo is actually one of the strongest materials around. Bamboo has a higher tensile strength than many alloys of steel, a higher compressive strength than many mixtures of concrete, and a higher strength to weight ratio than graphite. Many of the bamboo structures in Japan actually survived the atomic bombing during World War II.
So when a Silver Back Gorilla snaps 4-5 inch bamboo he is exerting over 28000 pounds of pressure per square inch possibly even more depending on the thickness of the bamboo, and he does that with ease no strain involved imaging if the Gorilla is enraged, how powerful would he be then !?, jeeez. I think that is more than enough force to snap any animals limbs or neck with ease. He has bite force that is greater than the big cats around 1300 pounds per square inch. Lions and Tigers bite force is around 1000 pounds per square inch

Bamboo has a tensil strength stronger than steel and gorillas regularly snap 4-5 inch bamboo stalks as easily as a man snaps a twig, you think a Grizzlies spine or his limbs are stronger than 4-5 inch steel pipe? Of course you don't, a Gorilla would snap a Grizzlies neck like a twig if he gets his arms around his neck. A gorilla has freakish unearthly strength by all estimations, and has no known natural enemies in the wild because no animal would dare approach it in a confrontational manner.
I remember watching a documentary about Gorillas and a male silver back walked to a pond to drink and sat right down in a shallow portion of the swamp or pond which was a few feet deep in the midst of some full grown alligators the alligators simply got the hell up and left, the narrator said that the Gorilla had nothing to fear because the alligators wouldn't dare approach him in any way confrontational or otherwise I saw it with my own eyes they got they hell up and left when they saw him coming, talk about respect, they must have had a bad experience in the past.
My brother told of an incident he saw, a program on television where poachers tried to kill a Gorillas family the male Gorilla I would assume caught them by surprise and nothing was left but pieces of body parts the Gorilla literally tore then limb from limb. But you don't hear much about accounts like those because Gorillas are already an endangered species because of poaching and they want to preserve the species as opposed to promoting an image of a dangerous, ferocious, violent, beast which they can be if they feel threatened.
