In a 1v1 situation where we're in the open, I could take one. Out maneuver and out endurance it, till it gets tired and beat it with large rocks. With my bare hands, definitely not. Saw a video of a man in Africa killed a male lion barehanded, and the guy might have been 140 lbs soaking wet. Never know what you can do until your life is on the line. Adrenaline is one hell of a drug

Wow you're so strong and manly with your comment on the internet about how you could best an animal far bigger and stronger(and venomous)than you. You should show this to girls at the gym who have earphones in, they're going to be so impressed.

Something cool about Komodos is that they aren't really venomous. It's the bacteria in their mouths that kill animals that they bite. The drool that you see hanging from their mouths is a toxic cocktail of deadly bacteria.

Jumping into that article it's old, it also reference the lower jaw venom gland and the first comment correctly references that the gland was conclusively demonstrated to hold venom in 2013.

Sorry my comment was short because I'm lazy but there's ample evidence they're venomous now.

I believed you. The part of the article I posted that I found interesting was that they don't really have a way to inject the venom like snakes do so they have to rely on a bite and tear method and hope the venom take effect or the animal just bleeds to death.
