Who would you take?

I can only think of one man who would have a chance.

An amateur MMA fighter has shocked the internet by claiming to have been offered more than $500,000 (£370,000) to fight a chimpanzee.

In a string of social media posts, Minnesota–born fighter Cole Johnson alleged that he has organised a fight with a male adult chimpanzee this coming Friday.

However, experts have warned that this supposed match is a disaster waiting to happen.

Although chimpanzees are usually remarkably tolerant of humans, primatologists warn that no amount of fighting skill will save Mr Johnson from 'catastrophic' injury.

Besides the obvious animal cruelty and conservation concerns, it is staggeringly dangerous for a human to deliberately provoke a chimpanzee into attacking.

Dr Kimberley Jane Hockings, Associate Professor in Conservation Science at Exeter University, told the Daily Mail: 'Chimpanzees are wild animals with sophisticated social and behavioural responses, and when they perceive a threat to themselves or other members of their community, they can respond with extraordinary aggression.

'Chimpanzees are extremely powerful animals, with substantially greater upper–body strength and dynamic muscle performance than humans.

'When chimpanzees do attack, the injuries can be catastrophic.'

If this actually happens I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t kill him. Even if they’ve taken the teeth out of the thing, it’s still strong and will shred this dude.

This. I admit I do want to see what happens, but part of me can't support it. I'm torn.

The chimpanzee will supposedly be unsedated and left with its claws and teeth intact, with the fight taking place in a large, grass–based cage.

He's fucked. :D

He's a Hankins level fighter. This monkey fight isn't gonna happen without shenanigans taking place.
