DinoFights announced that Ekrixinatosaurus would take on Tarbosaurus and I immediately thought to myself "This is the perfect match!"
Ekrixinatosaurus can headbutt very well, has a bone crushing bite force of 4-6 tons, can run 35+ mph based on close relatives and has an agility advantage on top of its 10-15 mph speed advantage plus a small muscle advantage.
Tarbosaurus has a longer skull with an equally powerful bite force of 5-6 tons with longer and thicker teeth as well as a 4 foot length advantage.
Who do you think would win?

Length doesn't mean much in a fight. It comes down to overall weight and strength (if there are no variables). I'd like to say Tarbo due to it's bigger teeth, and Tarbo could headbutt pretty good too. I say Tarbo, but by a small amount.

Tarbosaurus is slightly bigger and most importantly, smarter. While Ekrix would put up a fight, Tarbo would probably win in the long run.
PS- Spyrannosaurus, I don't full agree with you on some of the Ekrix info. 35 miles per hour seems a little fast for one thing.

Actually it looks like Ekrixinatosaurus has a .5-1.5 ton weight advantage because Tarbosaurus was relatively slim for a Tyrannosaur and would have weighed about 8 tons.
Based on Carnotaurus, estimated to be able to run 43 mph, Ekrixinatosaurus would be able to run very fast too because of its short tail and powerful legs that it shared with its cousin. 35 is conservative.

I recant my previous statement that Ekrixinatosaurus would win. Tarbo can a run fast for a tyrannosaur. Ekrixinatosaurus probably couldn't beat 25 mph. Something Tarbo could to too. The vision is going to be poor for both of them. The Ekrixinatosaurus has a bit of armor in its back to help protect it. I do think Tarbo would win. He is a lot smarter, and has about everything that Ekrixinatosaurus has.

I'll actually flip to Ekrixinatosaurus. It is the more heavily muscled animal pound for pound by a little bit, it has a small headbutting advantage, a crushing bite that is only slightly less powerful than Tarbo's, it likely had a very small speed advantage and some armored skin. I see it escaping with a win because Tarbosaurus only has a longer skull, a small length advantage, a slightly more powerful bite and more devastating teeth. Its a very close one but I'll say Ekrixinatosaurus manages to take down Tarbosaurus or this ends in a draw.
