Not an equal battle because the Predator was so much stronger than Arnie.
No, it is an equal battle. Predator just so happens to be physically stronger. He still shows him the respect of removing any weaponry. That is honor. Wait ... because he's an other world life form and happens to be stronger naturally, that it doesn't count as showing honor? Was he supposed to tie his hand behind his back to make it fair or honorable in your eyes?
It's a fair fight. He puts himself at the level of Dutch in that scene. He acknowledges he has no weapons, could've killed him on the spot, gives him creedance or respect given he's been such an admirable foe ... removes his gear and fights him in hand to hand combat.
That isn't negated by the fact he just so happens to be stronger. Arnie is still physically capable of defending himself. But yes, it's a very equal conditions. And he gave Dutch that out of a sense of honor or respect.
No ... all the definitions I use aren't generalized. They are the exact meanings of the word, bruh.
