Another UFC veteran, Tim Kennedy, took the incident on a lighter note.
What happens in the viral video?
The video starts with a mountaineer recording his hike trip, and a bear attack catches him unguarded. While the mountaineer screams and punches back the bear, he never gives up.
The mountaineer pushes the bear and maintains his higher-ground position throughout. He even resorts to kicking the bear to make sure that bear doesn’t climb up.
However, some of the users pointed out that the bear was trying to protect the small cub that could be heard screaming towards the end of the clip.
How did Jorge Masvidal, and other fans react?
The welterweight fighter Jorge Masvidal shared the video on his Facebook account. Further, he captioned the video, “The push away technique! Fast thinking!”
Former UFC fighter Tim Kennedy tweeted about the toughness of the mountaineer. Thus, he wrote, “Right when you think you are peaking at being a tough guy…. you watch a mountain climber fight a bear while hanging off a cliff.”
