A drunk Ukrainian who boasted to friends of his amazing strength was left fighting for his life when he picked a fight with a 42 stone grizzly bear.
The 22 year-old man, not named, had been drinking with friends in the town of Cherkask when he decided to show them how strong he was by wrestling with the biggest animal he could find.
They went to the local zoo where he climbed over the railings into the bear cage and started to hit one of them on the leg.
The bear pushed the man away with a swipe of his paw but when the man hit him again the bear pinned him to the ground and began mauling him.
Staff managed to drag the man out of the cage and calm the bears down, local daily Ukrainsky Novini reported.
Doctors at a hospital in the town where he was being treated said his condition was serious.
A spokesman for the zoo said: “The whole thing lasted less than a minute and the other bears were just getting ready to join in and attack him as well. If we hadn’t got him out of there he would have been killed.”
I’ve been wrestling radioactive bears in space ever since I became a cosmonaut nineteen years ago. Me and my bear-wrestling buddies are the only ones keeping you assholes safe from radioactive bears from space. Do we get a parade? No. We don’t need fucking parades.
He failed to maintain his centerline. Sloppy footwork probably as well. I would say he recieved improper instruction from someone that had only one or two lessons with Yip Man, like Leung Ting . . .
Pak sao da, Jao sao, when the bear throws up the arm to block the Jao sao, Hyun sao, shut the arm under the bears armpit and turn in to Uchi-mata and throw his ass down. At that point, either drop into side control and take whatever submission the bear gives you or yell “TAKE THAT, BOO BOO!” and run like hell.
And I thought my cousin was dumb for picking a fight with an american pitbull and having his inner thigh chewed off.
I have a lot of russian and ukrainians in my country, maybe I'll ask them about bear wrestling and other folklore traditions! Humm, maybe that's what Fedor does for a secrey training...
umm i hope your not talking about that retard karate black belt from the “when animals attack” movie. cuz the bear didn’t maul him cuz he was the owner and fed the bear. i would not say he won. when the bear wasn’t even attacking him.
