Size matters here: a typical adult Hippopotamus weighs about 1.8 t (2 US tons), roughly 6.5× the Mako Shark's 275 kg.
The Mako Shark's best chance is its agility (85 vs 48), plus abilities like Bristle-Scale Burst and Rocket Breach. This one is close enough that terrain, first contact and motivation could flip it.
Reality check: these two would never meet. The Mako Shark lives in water, so this verdict is a neutral "stat fight". In deep water the Mako Shark would hold every advantage; on dry land it could not fight at all.
