If you had to pick one, would you choose to fight a coyote, an alligator, an elk, a moose, or a bear? And which do you think UFC fans would pick to square off with? An admittedly ridiculous but funny survey asked over 2,000 UFC fans to size up their chances against various animal opponents, ultimately revealing the most-feared creature on the list. Hint: It’s NOT the bear.
The options, in case you’re looking for a full list, were:
- Alligator
- Antelope
- Bear
- Cat
- Coyote
- Crane
- Dog
- Eagle
- Elk
- Kangaroo
- Manatee
- Moose
- Possum
- Raccoon
- Sheep
And here are the animals listed from highest percentage to lowest. The percentage represents the percent of UFC fans who believe they could win against the animal in a fight. The top three least-feared animals were: cat, sheep, and possum. Scroll to the bottom of the list for the most feared.
- Cat – 57%
- Sheep – 36%
- Possum – 32%
- Dog – 31%
- Raccoon – 29%
- Crane – 21%
- Eagle – 14%
- Coyote – 14%
- Kangaroo – 9%
- Antelope – 9%
- Manatee – 8%
- Alligator – 6%
- Bear – 6%
- Moose – 5%
- Elk – 4%
Only 4% of respondents said they think they could win a fight against an elk.
