Russian Brown Bears

[Pradyumna]

Came across this interesting video. A bear cub probably less than an year old is seen grappling , wrestling and indulging in ground wrestling with two Russian kids. The kid in the blue jacket is an undefeated MMA fighter now.
You can observe how the bear uses various wrestling like moves and holds to control the kid on the ground.

Wachout at :  5:36   A butterfly sweep
                      4:54   Trips the kid over by grappling his leg
                      2:25   Sprawl.. used in matt wrestling to avoid leg take downs
                      1:26   Side by sweep 
                             4:08   Takes the boy down using his own weight
                      3:23   Reverses the boys attempt at a takedown

Watch the whole video to see how similar it is to modern day Ground and pound MMA and wrestling.
