If you are talking about a healthy full grown Lion and Gorilla… probably one, maybe two. The thing is the Lion has strength, claws and teeth, the Gorilla only has strength and teeth. The Gorilla is much stronger and weighs more than the Lion but the Lion is far more used to deadly fights and knows how to go to the throat quick. Chances are if the Lion latched on the Gorilla would be able to pull it off… but it pulling the jaws off it is going to cause a huge amount of damage. Do not get me wrong, Gorillas do fight, but it is more for control rather than “i am going to kill you” type of fighting.
