Just curious. If two black holes collided, what would happen? Would the one of greater mass engulf the other?

They would merge. This is how Super Massive black holes are formed, like the one at the center of our galaxy.
What happens beyond the Event horizon and the Singularity, nobody really knows.

simplifying this

The two black holes combine together and create one black hole, basically. Lol

They would make an even larger black hole called a supermassive black anus.

Well, if they were equal in size, I dont see why it would either get bigger or cancel each other out O.o

Eventually the black holes get so big that they destroy the universe, thus creating another big bang.
And the cycle goes on forever.
