I'm not volunteering for a cage match but like house cats mountain lions 
depend on stealth to a great degree. There are a couple of trail camera 
videos but they're very low quality. They do show the cat leaping on the 
deer's back and biting the spine at the back of the neck.  

There was an incident here where a lion attacked a young kid at a youth 
group outing but a couple of the counselors more or less beat on the cat 
until he left. They're adter a meal, not a pitched battle.
