MMA fighters train in many different ways to incorporate all the different fighting styles they may use during a match. However, one man recently showed off a practice style not to many others will want to try. In the video that recently went viral, an MMA fighter helped wrangle an alligator that was spotted outside a Florida elementary school.
Mike Gragich may face some tough competition as an MMA fighter, but the real fight occurs during his day job as a licensed alligator trapper. His work recently brought him to an elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida where a 10 foot alligator was spotted in the parking lot. “We get there. I walked through the gate. And boom. There it was just ready to go right there in the parking lot, and we just had to get the job done,” said Gragich.
As seen in the clip, Gragich wrestles the alligator as students and teachers watch in excitement. According to Bro Bible, the fighter’s social media page is full of alligator wrangling videos. After watching this video, his next MMA opponent may want to back out of their fight.
