MMA fighter Mike Dragich subdues street-roaming gator barefoot

An MMA fighter in Florida used his strength to control an alligator, as seen in a video shared by Jacksonville sheriff's officials.

The fighter, Mike Dragich, known as "Blue Collar Brawler" in the MMA world, approached the gator in the roadway without any trapping gear. Dragich is also a licensed trapper outside of his MMA career.

Reports indicate that Dragich was at a hockey game when he got a call from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office asking for help with the alligator. In the video, Dragich is seen handling the gator with his bare hands, much to the applause of onlookers.

The police acknowledged Dragich's skills but emphasized the importance of leaving such tasks to professionals, mentioning various types of uniforms and then contrasting them with Dragich's casual attire for the gator encounter.

After the incident, Dragich reportedly went back to the hockey game, showcasing his versatility both in and out of the MMA arena.
