Barefoot MMA Fighter Wrangles Alligator With Bare Hands

An alligator strolling through a Florida neighborhood meets his match: an MMA fighter. The beast was wrangled by a man with his bare hands. With the gator finally neutralized in his iron grip, the hunky hero proudly showed off the beast to the crowd in Jacksonville, Florida. Mike Dragich, also known as the “blue collar brawler,” is an MMA fighter and ex-Marine with a side hustle of wrangling alligators.
