The African lion seems to be forever at war ( like a gang-war ) with other lion prides, with spotted hyenas, and with the Cape buffalo. ( IMO ). African wildlife are frequently involved in gang fights.

" Predation on muskoxen poses risks for grizzly bears because muskoxen defend themselves against predators by running together and wheeling to face an approaching bear or wolf (Canis lupus) with a wall of horns. Adult muskoxen also dart out of a defensive group to attack an approaching predator. Horns can be lethal weapons against bears. One radiocollared male grizzly bear (No. 031, age 11) had serious puncture wounds from a muskox when it was captured in June 1995, but it survived the injuries. Another marked male bear (No. 056, age 5) died several weeks after receiving wounds from an adult male muskox during an attack in June 2000. Status of the muskoxen in these encounters was not determined. The recovery of radiocollars from 3 bears near muskox carcasses also suggests that muskoxen defend themselves against bears. carnivora.net/kodiak-bear-v-african-cape-buffalo-t4201-s165.html#p147285From Carnivora.

That's it. Sometimes preys prevail and sometimes the other way around. There's not such thing as 100%. I'll also accept that Bisons have killed Grizzlies sometimes, unlike Pig Pork Lord who thinks “tUgEr KaLL pArAcErAtHeRiUm”.

Yes; according to at least half-dozen-plus books I have read on the historic grizzly; according to the Indians, pioneers, and early settlers of the Old West, those grizzly vs bull bison battles witnessed, it appears to have been roughly a 50/50 contest. Of course, those old bison-hunters were bigger that Yellowstone bears.
