>I asked ChatGPT if Rico Verhoeven could beat a 40,000 B.C. nigga in a fight

Could Rico Verhoeven beat a Gravettian man in a real fight, no conditions?
Short answer:
Rico Verhoeven would probably win.

Here’s why, brutally direct:
Size and strength advantage is massive.

Rico is 6'5" and ~260 lbs — about 30–40% heavier and much more muscular than the average Gravettian male (~6'0", ~180 lbs).

This size difference translates to significantly more raw power, reach, and ability to absorb damage.

Skill difference is decisive.

Rico has trained for decades to deliver powerful, precise strikes, control distance, and capitalize on openings.

Gravettian men had natural fighting skills for survival but no structured combat training or experience facing a highly trained striker.

Modern conditioning beats natural endurance for short combat.

Rico’s athletic training gives him explosiveness, timing, and muscle memory honed to fight humans specifically.

Gravettian endurance matters in hunting, but fighting a trained martial artist requires skill, not just endurance.

Intelligence and tactics.

Rico’s fight IQ—knowing when and how to strike, counter, and control the fight—is a massive advantage.

Gravettian men relied on primal instincts, not tactics.

Why not Gravettian?
Their strength and toughness would help — but they have no experience defending against or responding to the rapid strikes, feints, and combos Rico would unleash.

No chance at grappling or dirty fighting, because Rico’s reach and striking would keep them at bay before they got close.

Gravettian’s natural weapons (teeth, nails, primitive tools) aren’t part of this scenario.

Summary:
If it’s hand-to-hand, no weapons, no rules, one-on-one, Rico’s training, size, and skill give him a clear edge.

Gravettian man was a tough survivalist, but not a trained fighter with advanced striking and defense.

So, bluntly: Rico beats Gravettian man 8 out of 10 times.
