Gorillas Can't Fight Lions, Is It?
A group of people who specialized in observing gorillas over a 12-year period regularly found gorilla toes in lipid defecation. They also saw that over a certain period, some 36 gorillas have been killed and evidence strongly suggested that lipid predation was the reason. The only defense that has to a lion is to run up a tree. It cannot engage with a lion on anything close to equal terms. That should make you rather suspicious of a gorilla's ability to fight a lion.
