You serious?

I'd say a grizzly would destroy a gorilla. A gorilla is a herbivore designed to eat plants, a bear is an ominivore trained to eat and hunt basically anything.

A bear would rip a gorilla apart, it would be brutal and bloody.
Gorillas are just as strong as bears (if not stronger) and have superior intelligence. Unlike with humans, gorillas are still very strong and dangerous despite being vegetarians. They are capable of inflicting a lot of damage on something that angers it. I would rather encounter a bear than a gorilla.

Other than that, Bears can be mentally intimidated while gorillas cannot. Gorillas are bigger than bears so there's a chance the gorilla would just scare the bear away.
