Depends if they get any weapons/tools.

Like give the guy a laser pointer and they may stand a chance.

Uhhhh, I dunno about dat.

But, really, any time you're
near lions, you should be careful. ... It should not surprise you that a
lion is way faster than you, but in case you need numbers: the fastest
human to ever live, Usain Bolt, can run 27.79 miles per hour. A lion can run 50 miles per hour.

like all big cats they're an ambush predator, put on one of those backwards facing face masks or even just paint fake eyes on your back and you're drastically reduced the risk you'll get taken out before you can even fight. pair that with a spear and leather shield and you could probably block one swipe and get off one good attack. you fuck that up and you're dead though.

true.

you're going to need some ingenuity and luck to succeed, as well as a decent amount of training and understanding of lion behaviors.

humans aren't natural sprinters, they're endurance runners. we're not fast, we can just run forever. that's why we domesticated dogs, they're persistence hunters too.

Its not just about that. Could a large adult male lion kill a large silverback gorilla? Sure.

but male lions dont even really hunt like that.... like, an individual lion is not that serious tbh. A horde of Bengal Tigers vs anything a lion hunts would be a total massacre compared to what youre used to seeing.

and their bite force is just too tiny

No unarmed human could even beat a lioness (who do most of the killing for the pride - the male is basically crowd control).

Also see sig. There are people who have been thinking about this subject (and much more deeply, FWIW) for centuries. Only an exceptional few can survive against any lion - but even they must be armed.

Tarzan, racking his brains
for some means to cope single-handed with the infuriated beast, had
suddenly recalled his battle with Terkoz; and as the great shoulders
came clear of the window, so that the lioness hung upon the sill only
by her forepaws, Tarzan suddenly released his hold upon the brute.

With the quickness of a striking rattler he launched himself full upon
Sabors back, his strong young arms seeking and gaining a full-Nelson
upon the beast, as he had learned it that other day during his bloody,
wrestling victory over Terkoz.

With a roar the lioness turned completely over upon her back, falling
full upon her enemy; but the black-haired giant only closed tighter his
hold.

Pawing and tearing at earth and air, Sabor rolled and threw herself
this way and that in an effort to dislodge this strange antagonist; but
ever tighter and tighter drew the iron bands that were forcing her head
lower and lower upon her tawny breast.

Higher crept the steel forearms of the ape-man about the back of
Sabors neck. Weaker and weaker became the lionesss efforts.

At last Clayton saw the immense muscles of Tarzans shoulders and
biceps leap into corded knots beneath the silver moonlight. There was a
long sustained and supreme effort on the ape-mans partand the
vertebrae of Sabors neck parted with a sharp snap.

Maybe under a specific set of circumstances a strongman could do it

I've never understood this idea of handicapping humans against predators like Lions. Yeah, Lions have claws and strength and size, but we have our brains...which made us smart enough to make weapons.

Yep, sending a human unarmed against a lion is like sending a lion declawed and detoothed against a human.
