And the legend of Florida man continues.
Meet Mike Dragich — a military veteran, MMA fighter and licensed alligator trapper — and he was seen in a recent video having an outright glorious brawl with a 10-foot alligator. And he did it like it was an official UFC contest, wrestling the beast in front of around 200 people. Oh, and he did it for the kids too, with the fight taking place at a Jacksonville elementary school. And he successfully caught the sucker!
What a legend.
After subduing the alligator, Dragich moved it to a safer area.
“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,” Dragich told Fox 35 Orlando.

Wow … imagine being this guy.
Not only is he a Florida man, not only is he a military veteran, not only is he an MMA fighter, but he’s a licensed alligator trapper. Let’s review that again: Mike Dragich is a military veteran MMA fighter that’s a licensed alligator trapper and lives in the glory known as Florida.
Seriously, how legendary can one man be?
And then on top of all of that, he has the capability to fight a giant alligator in front of a crap load of people. That’s just incredible to me. Yeah, I’m in Florida, and I’m used to the almighty gator and hearing (and seeing) stories like this, but this guy … this guy is such an outright G.
Shoutout to Mike Dragich!
