From the same website:

This is by far the most requested fight in WAFC history and features arguably the two most lethal big predators on the planet.

The Siberian Tiger is the largest Big Cat on Earth, growing up to 11 ft long and up to 850 lbs. It preys on huge animals such as deer, boar, and Elk. Siberian Tigers have even been known to prey on Brown bear species in Asia. Although this cat is big it still has incredible quickness. It’s preferred method of killing is, like most big cats, a bite to the throat of its victim.

The Grizzly Bear has incredible strength, as mentioned in previous fights on WAFC. It also has a size advantage,growing up to and beyond 1000lbs. The largest Grizzlies can stand up to 8 ft tall.

Its tough for me to choose a victor here out of two of my favorite predators. I think the fight would go pretty quick once the two beasts got into it.

The tiger would most likely be first to act trying to pounce at the Bear’s throat. The Bear could counter with a downward swat, as it is known to do, that could crush the cat’s skull.

However I think more often than not the Tiger would win this fight. With its size and speed, the momentum of a dash and pounce would be enough to knock the bear backwards before a blow to the neck kills it. Tiger wins!

I have read all of Jim Corbett’s books (he hunted down and killed numerous, notorious, man eating tigers and leopards in India from the 1890s to 1930s. Some had killed over 400 people) and I recall in one of his books where he witnessed a huge Himalayan bear attack a tiger. The fight was fierce with the tiger raking his claws across the bears sensitive nose before retreating unscathed and leaping across a 20 foot wide ravine to escape the bear. Corbett had to shoot the furious bear when it spotted Corbett hiding in the brush and came after him when the tiger escaped.
