There aren't enough superlatives to describe this incredible footage. Caution: it's brutal and intense.

(28,361 posts)They looked like a couple of sumo wrestlers, except for the teeth and claws. I was more exhausted watching this then the bears were. Not really, both the dudes were spent after that dance.

Nature can be quite cruel.

(4,895 posts)(and I could be wrong) is that there was an older bear who had territory and mating rights that was challenged by a younger bear trying to take over. The commentary said that the winner leaves the battleground. I think the older bear prevailed but I'm not certain about that.
Also, I was reading comments on you-tube and people familiar with wrestling and MMA were saying the bears were using a number of well known fighting moves, for example: "its wicked crazy that these two bears for real just utilized underhooks, half guard, back control, side mount, north-south and even a muay thai clinch."
