I heard about the story and seen pictures of him. His story doesn't add up. I can't think of any position to get at a Mountain lion without it still being able to disembowel you with is back claws.

He added that he pinned down the cat's back legs using his left knee.
Kauffman said he was able to transition his body weight, moving his right leg up toward his wrist, and eventually was able to step on the cat's neck — suffocating it.
You can if the lion in question is a 4 month old 30-50 lb juvenile. A full grown 150 lb cat would have had a different result.
Why not, it's all about getting into the right position on the cat.
You ever grabbed a pissed off House Cat? You don't grab them they Grab You.
Those legs are ten times more powerful than a humans arms. It only needs to get that leg free once, to do some serious damage. Before you can get the leg back, if you are that strong.
It was not a full grown lion, and i think the guy had a lot of puncture wounds, and needed a couple dozen stitches. The interview he gave on the radio sounded believable, another thing he said when the cat jumped onto him he put his hands up and it latched onto his wrist and arm and then they fell down a ravine or something maybe the cat got the worse end of the fall.
I once saw a mountain lion while out running by myself in the woods. Fortunately, we surprised each other and it ran off.
