Who would win a fight to the death?
A 5-9 185 lb man in reasonably good shape or a 115 lb male mountain lion. There is no element of surprise and no weapons. This is actually an important question, so cites are very welcome.

Stop to consider your 5-9 185 lb man in reasonably good shape does not have to catch and kill his food with his teeth, speed and strength.
Even though he is 70 pounds heaver he no match for a 115 pound pure killing machine in good condition.
The man would put up a good fight but with those teeth and claws that cat would inflict enough wounds that the man would bleed him out from the wounds received quickly.
Not to mention the shear exhaustion and fatigue the man would suffer from such a battle.
I would say 85 to 90% of the time the cat will win, but there is a chance for the man but not much.

No weapons? You mean the cougar is toothless n clawless???
The cougar would win everytime. He has speed, stealth, and survival instinct on his side. Also, cougars go for the neck right off. It isn't hard to snap a man's neck when you are 115 pounds of pure strength, muscle & sinew. The only thing the man has going for him is that COUGARS very seldom attack humans, so your hypothetical person shouldn't provoke the fight if he want to survive.

Moutain lions will rarely attack a person and kill them but there have been many many instances of injuries from attacks. If it were to come down to it any human would not stand a chance against a mountain lion. They are stronger, faster, and have teeth and claws. They are easily able to kill large deer and in some instances horses.

Pretty much a hypothetical question, but the outcome would definitely be in favor of the Puma (cougar)!!!

The cougar wins. He kills full grown deer all the time to feed himself and is used to killing. The human is not used to defending his life and does not have the tools to do it unless armed.

No-brainer. Your human male has no claws or teeth. Formidable weapons for the cat.

a mountain lion because he's quicker than you, has bigger teeth than you, and has claws. no question the mountain lion would win.
