Say it's Khalil Mack or one of the Bosa brother's up against a lone lion in the wild, what are the odds of either winning in a fight?

If it were Captain Kirk or McGyver I'd like their chances. Not so much with a football player.
I do think if any football player stood a chance vs a lion it would be Larry Allen a former Cowboys offensive linemen who could bench over 700 pounds and squat over 900. While I doubt even this powerhouse could handle a lion do see him having the best shot at it,
This is sort of a stupid thread. There isn't a human being alive, that isn't a superhero and didn't have weapons, that could beat a lion. There's a reason that there is a saying "cat-like reflexes." The fight would be over with the lion's first swipe.
There have been instances of runners or mountain bikers taking on mountain lions but in those instances, the mountain lion was a juvenile, and also, a mountain lion that might be encountered somewhere in Colorado or California, or wherever, is nothing like a lion that might be encountered in the savanna in Africa.

You might see the lion before it sees you.
Are we talking a male African lion? Absolutely no chance. No chance either with a female lion. 500 pounds of muscle, claws and teeth. You could even give the guy a baseball bat or something and the odds don't change. Do people not realize how weak unarmed humans are compared to most animals. Even would chimp would rip the guy limb from limb, literally.

^^ Yes ^^ and in most cases a lion hits you like a car, engages you with it's teeth and razor front claws, while pulling up it's rear claws to disembowel you. I don't care how much you can bench press, you are in serious trouble.

That's how a mountain lion would kill you. Knock you over backwards with the initial attack, latch onto your throat and upper body with jaws and front claws, then pull up the rear claws and engage your abdomen. Kick straight back and take your entrails out. Ouch, very ouch.

Yeah, a predator like a big cat knows exactly how to kill its prey as quickly and efficiently as possible. Its survival depends on it. Killing animals is what it's designed to do. A human without a weapon has no chance.
Without a blade or weapon. Zero chance against a full grown lion.
