An Egyptian Man Plans to Fight, and Maybe Kill, a Lion

[Wintermoot]

this is why you shouldnt tell kids their special
still it,s going to be awesome 10$ ON THE GUY!

"GGGRRRR, I'm so manly I need something to show how manly I am"
*sees lion*
"I know I'll fight a lion with my bare hands to show my manliness, HAVE AT YOU LION"

My money is on the big beast with sharp claws and sharp teeth, look on the bright side if he dies how many people can say they died fighting a lion.

Not many, seeing as how they're dead and all...

OT: I'd watch the video of this.

 

[Lionsfan]

This. Is. Awesome. Best of luck to the man, he's definitely gonna need it. There's a reason why we evolved to use tools against them, because it's unlikely we could kill them otherwise

No one, because they died. While fighting a lion.

True well his offspring (if he has any) can gloat that their dad died fighting a lion I can see it now

*in the weight room*
"dude my dad just died fighting terrorists, how did your dad die"
*Pumps iron trying to look serious*
"He died fighting a lion"
*weight bar drops, hits the floor with a big bang*
"He fought a lion!?!?!? your dad has my respect"

I'm not sure whether to laugh, or be genuinely worried.

 

[The Zango]

I demand a live stream!

OT: Though I did see today when I was looking it up, having just heard about it from Cracked, that it might not be happening, on account of the man being arrested. I'm not too sure though...

He was arrested? Link please!

 

[One of Many]

If I had the cash, I would totally travel half way around the world, to watch a man get into a fisticuffs match with a lion.

 

[Kahunaburger]

I feel bad for the Lion though, being forced to fight and possibly killed.

I don't think you have to force a lion to eat a dude. They're pretty happy to do that on their own.

OT: I hope this is fake. Guy sounds awesome and wants to help his country - Egypt is better off with more people like him alive, not eaten by lions.

 

[Gametek]

I wish he would have decided to fight a whale... I am drawing him on my head trying to strangulate one...

 

[Moriarty]

I can't see any difference to bullfighting here, so why don't we arrest this retard?

There are better ways to prove your strength, no need to involve animal cruelty.


" Though al-Essawy insists he does not intend to kill the animal, he adds, "If it comes down to either me or him, I will have to kill him."

Well what the hell is that supposed to mean? If he intends to fight a lion, it WILL come down to either him or the animal. Does he think the lion is going to get bored and settle for a draw?

 

[bdcjacko]

About time someone put those uppity lions in there place.

 

[Alssadar]

I wanna see him win. Possibly skin the lion and wear its skin for a cape, with the mane around his shoulders.
Well, I would probably feel a little sickened with the dead lion, but it would create a really awesome visual.

 

[synobal]

That's pretty dumb, why doesn't he leave the Lion alone, or better yet befriend the Lion and start his own circus, he can do a strong man act and then a lion taming act with just himself and the Lion.

Seriously he's gonna get killed, there was a reason the Romans pitted people against Lions in the coliseum, and why it was mostly for people who were going to be executed. The Lions mostly won. Plus if the Lion does kill the guy I bet people kill the lion afterwards, so regardless of what happens he's killing a Lion for no good reason.

 

[Milo Windby]

WAT

So to help is country, he's going to fight a lion? These two things seem to be so far removed from each other as to be a joke.

During the great depression someone wanted to help out America by taking a bath while the tub was hung high in the air... how did that help? No idea

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Well then I think someone's going to be sending his parents the folded flag. Or the lion's parents a doggy (kitty?) bag.

I'm rooting for the underdog (cat? No I'll stop now...) in this one. I wanna see some new-age feats of strength. Let's hope he leaves with his life.

 

[Dango]

What the hell.

Can't he come up with something less insane? Like, I don't know, a water park or something?

 

[Chiefmon]

What the hell.

How would he fight a water park?

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

To be honest I can barely see him fighting on par with a zoo-kept lion. If they pluck a lion straight out of the wilderness and have them scrap it out, that lion's kids are eating gourmet for the rest of the week.

What the hell.

Can't he come up with something less insane? Like, I don't know, a water park or something?

Well, man has wrestled Alligators already, I guess it's time to take it one step further.

Though I would've taken on a Gorilla before I take on a lion, y'know, work my way up the chain?

You think he needs a PR/merchandising?
