Conan vs Predator
Who wins?
shareInvisible alien standing 7' 1" (Ian Whyte version) with massive plasma canon on shoulder, über-sharp projectile and hand weaponry, and a culture of pure hunting... vs bloke with big sword and a bit of favour from the gods.
I think Predator :)
Conan may stand more chance than most, but he's a thief and a warrior, but not really much of a hunter compared to his adversary. Plus, the Predator possesses technology which is pretty much magic to Conan - "I haff duh be eble duh faight majik vid majik".
Conan's only chance is to discover the creature's MO in time to outwit the thing, else he's had it.

Hand to hand, Predator still has almost a whole foot over Conan's 6' 2", so has the reach advantage straight off. He's also considerably stronger (snaps small trees effortlessly) and has probably not lived a life of alcohol and indulgence at any time, so should be in better condition.
Predator is also quite bony and more solidly built, while Conan is a squishy human. Predator is usually defeated by being outwitted and done over by a human using what's around, but I'm assuming this is just an in-the-ring fight, one on one with just what nature gave them.
Conan would need some seriously lucky early shots, maybe a couple of eye gouges and things, else he'd crumble under the Predator's assault.
I'd be rooting for Conan too, but I don't think he'd stand much of a chance.

Being unfamiliar with the concept of life on other planets, Conan (especially in his younger days) would probably assume that the Predator was some type of demon, and that its light-bending camouflage was sorcery. This would probably instill a healthy dose of superstitious terror in him, but that would only put him more on edge and make him even more dangerous.
On the other hand, the Predator has a ray gun.
