Still Jon Grinnell's studie showed something different, males would approatch even outnumberd 1:3, and there is videos where a large male is challenging 4 males, but also where on male is running away from two. I'm sure it depends much on induviduval males. 

Those dummy tests are not accurate IMO, there is nothing natural about the Lions behavior towards the dummy, I've seen countless interractions between lions in the wild and captivity and it's not The same. 

The lions seemed confussed about The whole thing.

I think the dummy tests are pretty accurate, the only difference being the dummy lions can't fight back. The real lions didn't know the dummies were not real, and in situations where lions confront real threats, the reaction of said threat can shape the actions of the defenders. Reply
