In a remarkable turn of events, Mike Dragich, a Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) fighter, emerged as a hero for the students of an elementary school in Florida.
The amateur MMA fighter intervened when Florida officials were struggling to handle a 10-foot alligator that had made its way near the school premises.
The incident took place outside a Jacksonville elementary school and was recorded on camera, later shared by Dragich on Instagram.
In the footage, Dragich can be seen bravely confronting the alligator while concerned onlookers observe the situation.
Mike chose to wrestle the alligator while wearing a thin muscle shirt and a baseball cap, even though most people would want some protection when doing so.
The video has gained a lot of attention, garnering over 860,000 views on social media and the attention of a local news organization, Fox 35 Orlando.

Mike Dragich describes himself as an “alligator trapper” on his social media profiles, which are crammed with images and videos of him handling, posing with, or just having fun with reptiles.
