Who will live to hunt another day?

I'd probably give the edge to Mando. He's a good shot, has armor that can take a serious hit without cracking, can fly, has multiple weapon types, and, maybe most importantly here, has near-magic level IR vision to let him track a cloaked Pred.

The Pred would shred him in HtH, but he's not getting there before taking a lot of shots from weapons that will absolutely hurt him.

This is an excellent fight. Wolf is arguably the most dangerous Predator we see in Live Action, with a crap ton of weapons.

Din doesn’t want to get close. Hand to hand with his vibro knife won’t end well. Nor will his flamethrower work. Preds don’t seem overly impressed by fire.

I’m also unsure his standard hand blaster will do well here. Predators are notoriously durable, shrugging off hand gun rounds and even tanking close range shotguns/rifles like champs if their scant armor doesn’t block it.

However, Din’s rifle will absolutely work as will his thermal detonators. And it’s here that, with his whistling birds and ability to fly, I think he stands a good chance. Plus I could see his armor tanking a few plasma caster shots considering it survived in tact when that gun in placement exploded.

However, any of the thrown weapons or hand to hand weapons favor Wolf. The spear, the chakram, the wrist blades, the net, the power punch, the blue acid etc...Din wants none of that.

Honestly, I see this as 50/50. Maybe, maybe Din ekks out a thin majority if he stays away and because his armor is very good. Problem is Preds are strong, fast, and have means to take down flying opponents.

Are Yautja hatched from eggs? If so, keep them away from Baby Yoda.

what hatched from eggs are Xenomorphs, not Yautjas

If they're not in the arena, cloaking and stealth comes into play. Knowing Wolf, he'll try to entice Mando into an environment that negates his flight advantage. This isn't some unblooded Hunter we're talking about.

Interesting fight.

I can't decide, but I would bet on Wolf in an environment like the woods, or hills with woods or whatever. I guess Tombstone is flat without rocks, just desert, so I would give Mando the advantage.
