Nord have brute strength and Orcs aren't as powerful as Nords but are resilient and can use destruction magic as well so you couldn't exactly say who would win in a fight but in a brawl Orc would win but in a fight with weapons and magic the Orc would have a ONLY A SLIGHT UPPER HAND so in 100 fights the Orc would win 52 times but they have more of a defensive side of fighting and they are bloody well good at it too considering it took 40 YEARS for a combined Redguard and Breton army to siege Orsinium but Skyrim has never ever been conquered but the ancient Nords did win it from the Snow Elves so thats something but it has Nords have never lost Skyrim and Tiber Septim didn't conquer Skyrim the Nords joined him because he was a Dragonborn and possibly a Nord himself but a Orcish army vs a Nordic army the Nords would crush the Orcs on the battlefield
