(and I could be wrong) is that there was an older bear who had territory and mating rights that was challenged by a younger bear trying to take over. The commentary said that the winner leaves the battleground. I think the older bear prevailed but I'm not certain about that.

Also, I was reading comments on you-tube and people familiar with wrestling and MMA were saying the bears were using a number of well known fighting moves, for example: "its wicked crazy that these two bears for real just utilized underhooks, half guard, back control, side mount, north-south and even a muay thai clinch."
