Ex-MMA trainer Cliff Dess put his combat skills to work in the one-on-one brawl with the animal.In a video shared on YouTube with over 300,000 views, Dess ran away from the kangaroo before getting trampled.
Moments later, Dess grabbed a stick and proceeded to whack the kangaroo to protect himself and his beloved dogs."Whacking it, trying to keep it at bay...but yeah it didn’t last too long," Dess explained in an interview with 9News Australia.
The stick didn’t stop the kangaroo as it continued to attack. Dess then used his skills to gain an advantage.He grabbed the kangaroo's arm and wrestled it to the ground, and placed his weight on the animal to subdue it.
