It will have to depend on the adaptations of either.

We know what the adaptations of lions are. But what we do not know are the adaptations of dragons, if they even existed. However we do know the adaptations of the Komodo Dragon and some dinosaurs. It also depends on the size of the dragon.
We have no idea what the size of a dragon is because as far as we know, they are mythical creatures (despite being portrayed in many cultures that have never, ever communicated with each other). They might have even been mistaken for non-mythical creatures (because we now understand that unicorns, for example, were actually Indian War Rhinos that were mistaken for horned horses by the Ancient Greeks and Genghis Khan).

The Komodo Dragon's bite is toxic because their mouths are teeming with bacteria. One untreated bite from a Komodo Dragon will become infected quickly, causing the prey a lot of pain and slowing them down, making them an easy target to finish off. So if dragons were small (if they existed), this might have been their way of subduing prey.

However if dragons were huge, mighty beasts similar to a Tyrannosaurus Rex or Spinosaurus, then their weapons of choice would be their jaws, claws (in the case of the Spinosaurus anyway), feet and tail. These creatures could crush other creatures with their powerful jaws, slash them with razor sharp claws or talons, smash or whip them with their tails and stamp on them with their feet.

Then there are also tiny dragons. For example there is a lizard called Draco Volans (Flying Dragon) which is native to Indonesia. And yes, it does look like a miniature dragon, with wings too. These miniature dragons are rather defenceless and prefer to camouflage themselves in order to avoid danger. It eats ants and termites.


So, in a fight...
If the dragons were as fair-sized as the Komodo, then the battle would be a very close one. The lion would be most likely to win because it is more agile, provided he doesn't get bitten.

However if the dragons were huge dinosaur-sized beasts, then the lion would stand no chance and the clear victor would be the dragon.

If the dragons were tiny like the Draco Volans, then the lion would win in a fight with it, undoubtedly. If the lion can find it, considering it's really good at camouflage.
