Florida man alligator wrestling

 

Only in Florida can a traffic jam turn into a live-action episode of Animal Planet meets WWE. Meet Mike Dragich, aka the Blue Collar Brawler — MMA fighter by day, gator wrangler by destiny. When a rogue alligator decided to sashay across a busy Jacksonville highway, most folks hit the brakes. Mike? He hit a double leg takedown 💪🐊. Wearing jeans and a no-nonsense attitude, Dragich coolly mounted the gator like it owed him money, taped its jaws shut, and dragged it off the road — proving once again that in Florida, we don’t need animal control, we have Mike.

Dragich isn’t just some jacked-up dude with a death wish — he’s a licensed trapper who volunteers to handle nuisance gators. And while this scene went viral for its absurdity, it also highlighted just how often humans and wildlife collide in the Sunshine State. You can watch the moment here via News4JAX, but fair warning: your inner child may feel the sudden urge to wrestle a dinosaur.
