From what I can conclude in the video is that it's like they are just reestablishing the territory lines like the last time they chased back and forth in Londolozi as half of Londolozi is the territory of Ndzhengas while the other half is the PCM.

I usually try not to glorify male lion altercations, because it is a very grim thing. But it's seriously impressive to watch these duos push at each other. The first time they clashed it was the PCMs who charged first with the Ndzhengas then pushing them back, this time it was the reverse - Ndzhengas had PCMs sprinting for their life, only for them to mount a counter-attack and split the Ndzhengas up. As most people have said, let's hope this never actually escalates into a physical altercation. But both these duos are seriously impressive, and I admire how in sync they are with each other. Very difficult not to feel a sense of awe at 2 duos in their prime going head to head. Let's just hope they stick to what they're doing right now, which is reaffirming territorial boundaries. Ndzhengas need to check the PCMs' eastward advance so the PCMs continue to focus on their Western prides, and the PCMs need to shore up their eastern boundary so their lionesses can focus on raising their cubs.

That very well might be a tactic/bait.

You try to split them by "lure" 1 individual (usually more confident and stronger) to make a fatal mistake and overchase them without waiting for his partners.

When you see they are split and another member are further behind, you turn and try to grab that pushing member, by the time 2nd male comes (if he doesnt retreat), you are in big advantage, as you already have 1 member down in favorable position.

Many cases of this, most famous KT/MrT vs Majingilanes.

This also shows how complex these clashes are, and why some coalition, who might even have number advantage, are struggling.

Strong duo is hard to beat, they will "play you" around, confuse you, get you tired, be patient and wait for 1 member to make fatal mistake.

The fact they have so much confidence they turn around and go towards a charging force, knowing their brother / partner has their back the entire time instead of being left to die is crazy and exactly the reason we, at times, see the smaller coalitions being able to hold on, or even win these encounters. 

This is the exact reason the Gijimas are able to hold on against the Nkhulus for now, split up they stand no chance, but when they charge together, hip to hip, Nkhulus can’t see any weakness and don’t want to risk a direct confrontation. 

This obviously isn’t seen in all coalitions, I mean the 4 Kambulas just ran from Ndzengas again today (K4 reunited with them). If they were to charge at any coalition in the North, hip to hip, nobody stands a chance, however they don’t have the right mentality that allows them to do that.

Also @Mapokser you're based brother I saw your take on BDM being huge when all other people from that section where acting like he's some normal sized lion. I actually got pictures of his skull (from Ziggi hugo) and it's like 28inches in total score wich is comparable to the biggest brown bears ?
