‘They’re only like 250kg!’ – Jack Grealish weighs in on ‘100 humans vs one gorilla’ debate as Man City star backs Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias & Phil Foden to do the business
Manchester City star Jack Grealish has waded into the bizarre viral debate sweeping the internet: Could 100 humans defeat a gorilla in a fight? His take? With teammates like Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, and Phil Foden in the mix, the gorilla wouldn’t stand a chance.
🦍 What’s Going On?
The lighthearted yet wildly popular discussion has gone viral across social media platforms, with users debating whether a group of 100 average men could overpower a full-grown silverback gorilla. Most side with the animal, citing its sheer power and ferocity.
But not Grealish.
“100 men for sure,” he told Sports Direct. “It’s been a big debate, hasn’t it? People speak about it at training. I typed it in—they only weigh like 250kg. That’s like two Tyson Furys. So it’s not even that much.”
🔥 Grealish’s Gorilla Battle Plan
Asked how he’d approach the hypothetical brawl, Grealish admitted he wouldn’t be among the first wave of fighters.
“I’d be later on. I ain’t being one of the first 10. The first 10 just take a hit, don’t they? But after that, I reckon even 50 men could take the gorilla.”
He named his ideal squad for the job, including:
- Erling Haaland – “obviously”
- Scott Carson
- Ruben Dias
- And a tactical use of the younger players like Phil Foden and Rico Lewis:
“You throw the younger lads in first… then all the big dogs go in later.”
Grealish insists the outcome would be in their favor:
“You put one gorilla in a changing room—I reckon we’d do him. I swear. I’m not even bantering.”
🏆 What’s Next for Grealish & City?
While the internet debate rages on, Manchester City’s focus shifts back to the pitch. Next up: the FA Cup Final against Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday, 17 May.
City are aiming to secure a piece of silverware to cap off their 2024–25 campaign, and Grealish will be hoping to make headlines for reasons beyond wild animal hypotheticals.
