Iconic: This is a difficult choice considering the circumstances, the Python would ordinarily get it being a gun and you'd be right. The Bow and arrow in the hands of Katniss is a deadly weapon that she's basically owed her life too and training with it and hunting has been part of regimen. Rick's a super fast and deadly shot on the other hand, similar to Katniss, although I'd argue Rick is quicker on the draw and trigger. Technology is a valuable component in this fight as Rick doesn't need to load in a new shot every time and has an easier reload compared to Katniss. Both are powerful tools, but the more easier to use and faster to fire Python wins out. EDGE: Rick Grimes

Back Up: When their iconic tools fail them it's time to bring out the melee tools, the knife and hatchet are both effective and deadly in the right hands. Normally this edge would be a bit more flip floppy when it comes to which weapon is better, but in their warriors, I'd say Rick takes it. Close combat isn't Katniss' forte and it's shown on multiple occasions where she tends to struggle in this aspect and usually saved by others or gets lucky and gets in a good shot that allows her to reach for her bow. Rick is just a much more down and dirty fighter who can take punishment and is no stranger to fist fights and beating someone down in this area. You can see this in his brawl with Pete, Negan, the Governor although he admittedly lost this one due to prolonged physical action beforehand, he brutal beatdown of the Claimers or Shane. EDGE: Rick Grimes

Deadliest Warrior: Rick Grimes- He'll be facing a difficult match but ultimately the warrior amongst the living dead has basically become a one man army who will eliminate Katniss. Katniss while skilled lacks the experience compared to Rick, her two bouts in the Hunger Games being her most defined experience and even in those situations she nearly died several times had it not been the help of allies. Her experience in the war could have tipped the scales in her favor, but details are sparse and vague as to how much fighting she actually did and even then off the films it appeared brief maybe a year or two at best. Rick meanwhile has spent years in a long since destroyed world fighting a larger variety of foes and prevailing against the odds time and time again, he's far used used to fighting alone or in small groups and able to kill with a better mindset. He's fought cannibals, zombies, armed groups, the Saviors, the Woodbury Army, the Governor's Camp Army, and been forged into a much more brutal and battle hardened warrior as a result of his trials. Sorry Katniss, but the odds are in the favor of Rick Grimes
