Unfortunately, not too many people here actually care about hypothetical animal v animal scenarios anymore. This forum isn't too active anymore.

The first thing I need cleared up is Majungasaurus' body mass. It seems to be often cited at >1,000 kg, but the relatively recent (2016) theropod cranial ornamentation paper's supplementary info gives a weight of 386 kilograms for the theropod ( reference). If Majungasaurus really was only that massive, I can't see two of them winning against Rapetosaurus (unless the sauropod's not as massive as I think it is). |

Majungasaurus have patheic teeth, and Rapetosaurus is just much bigger, so it would win very easily

How do you know it has bad teeth?

I think these two abelisaurs can pull it off although it will be difficult.

^Abelisaurs don't have weak jaws, that's just a myth. In fact, they have some of the most powerful jaws of all the theropods
Anyhow, I favor the sauropod, it's too large IMO.

In that case, how many Majungasaurus would be needed for the team to win? I’m very sure Majungasaurus is the apex predator of Late Cretaceous Madagascar and they probably hunted in packs to kill Rapetosaurus.

This would have to be edited to something else, unless there's solid evidence of pack hunting

I don't think we are usually that strict with pack hunting evidence.
Even if Majungasauri were too dumb to cooperate, we could assume a scenario in which they have a common motive to kill the Rapetosaurus. Their lack of coordination skill would of course be an argument to be considered.
